So CodyB has got the Mog-o-sphere thinking about what their favorite posts are! And it has me thinking that it's time for the second installment of The Best Mogmerican Music Blogging, this time edited by The Mog-o-sphere.
In this installment you will find such classics as:
Shop Therapy by Cody B. - Cody shows his stripes (Stars and Stripes that is!), by doing a little retail therapy in the name of Freedom lovers everywhere, all the while discovering what it means to truley fetishize a collection of music.
The Truth Comes Out at Last - by Joxley - The truth comes out about Anna, due to some intrepid research by our author/detective...
I Blame The English - by FluxCapacitor - There's a fine line between love for music, infatuation, and blogging about music drunk. Where ever that line may be, Flux crossed over it long ago. This is either a rant, worship, or Irish Pride/self deprication. You choose...
The Myth of Punk - by Groon - Your no punk, if you show your love for Progressive Music, just ask Groon. In this post Groon sets the record straight for many of us who may just "wax philosophical" about a genre or period we didn't exactly experience first hand.
Beware The Mullet -or- They Live by Dzendvokh - I've often stated my absolute disdain for the mullet joke, but you guys love it, and here's proof...
Something You Don't Know About Me - by Fistula Spume - Fisty's a man of many hats, and one of the most diverse musical ears on Mog. But here's a little in sight to the man behind those strange Japanese Noise Pop posts or Italian Disco remixes...
The World's Most Expensive Bat Mitzvah- by Sethpian - Ciara, 50 cent, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, and Aerosmith. At - A - Bat - Mitzvah. Performing. whoa...uh..whoa.
Hallowe'en Costumes for Everyone - by bloodtea - What should your avatar be next hallowe'en, just ask Ms. bloodtea...
I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS- by Lyrikhan - Beatles? Led Zep? Sabbath? Who "invented" Metal? Lyrikhan lays down the facts...
Post your favorites in comments below!
My Trusted MOGs
Kind of a Norton Mogthology...very nice and well put together.
My Trusted MOGs
I can't access the blog links...is it me or Mog....I'll try later. The link to Cody's post works, the one in the text at the top of the page,
My Trusted MOGs
Hmm it seems the links all contain contras name and the original poster..how'd that happen
My Trusted MOGs
Mogmerican? No Europeans allowed? ;)
I'll have a look around and let you know, although I don't archive my posts and it will be a mess.
I can't access the links either, not even the one for Cody's post.
My Trusted MOGs
Madeline - Links should be fixed now. For somereason copy and paste added my name into it. Went back and checked them, should be good to go.
Cody - Yes, very much a Norton Mogthology...
My Trusted MOGs
Mogmerican is a universal term like human or earthling (well that last one is more specific, but at least specific in planetary terms). Mogmerican is a Mogapean as well...
My Trusted MOGs
Will do :)
So what happens here exactly? Each one of us chooses his/her own favourite post of aaaall time?
My Trusted MOGs
Sure, or a favorite from another Mogger...
My Trusted MOGs
this is HOT HOT HOT
My Trusted MOGs
Oh, I see. Thanks for elaborating!
I'll go a relatively recent one, since I don't archive my posts, it was actually a team post, and plus people should know who to avoid....that would be EVERYBODY. MOGgers are disturbed! :)
"Thou shalt not wish your girlfriend was a freak like me": http://mog.com/Anna/blog_post/159256.
My Trusted MOGs
Yeah, this has happened on some other posts, though please change them, because I desperately want to read some of these.
My Trusted MOGs
The Links are working for me. Check them out.
My Trusted MOGs
Pretty fun Tyler... love going back over some of those conversations... I think however Known Human takes the cake for Mullet posts... hands down:
http://mog.com/Known_Human/blog_post/17927
http://mog.com/Known_Human/blog_post/68242
The First one with a whopping 230 comments!
My Trusted MOGs
Oh, I know, he banned me from posting on his blog because of some off hand comments I made (about the lameness of mullet jokes). Obviously though, I'm in the minority, since I have never had that many comments on a post in my life. So, sour grapes in my mouth, I bow to him...
My Trusted MOGs
I actually remembered this one right now:
http://mog.com/Anna/blog_post/16280
There's no way you'd read that thread. NO WAY.
Maybe I should do a second version....it's been so long....
My Trusted MOGs
I think this one is the all time highest commented on post! Be proud of yourself, your in a record book somewhere (on Mog at least)!
My Trusted MOGs
Love it. Can't think of any right now. I blew my list earlier. It'll hit me at 1 a.m. tonight in the middle of a dream I'm sure. Sweet picture. Looks like a cool book.
My Trusted MOGs
I'm proud of the MOGgers who spilled their guts or not ;)
Hats off to ya for reminding me of it; so many new people have joined since then and crushes change often. Version 2 is in order........ ;)
My Trusted MOGs
Oh the FluxCapacitor, Lyrikhan, and Sethpian posts have bad links.
My Trusted MOGs
Still? I swear they worked. I'll get on it.
My Trusted MOGs
yeah i recall i threw a mullet joke in a post at one point which you went after
hahaha...i do admit they are overdone
My Trusted MOGs
"Fantastic idea Contrabandwidth" cool of you to put this together!
Anna! NOooooo...not your freaky girlfriend post! Haha. (I was joking about that last comment I mentioned in there.)
My Trusted MOGs
I compiled, everyone else did the work. It was CodyB's post that revived the idea, mostly just out of the idea of having a way to access some of the better posts.
My Trusted MOGs
Great team effort here! : )
My Trusted MOGs
Oh right.. some bad blood ...;-)
Actually I agree with you ... I wasn't saying mine was a particularly stellar post.. rather an example of how some posts spawn other posts which refer back to other posts and on and on....and well... that's the nature of this place.
My Trusted MOGs
No it's a good example, and though I stated my opinion on the matter, I'm just trying to give the peple what they want. Yes, we can all be guilty of leading posts astray - like my comments in Cody's original post which inspired his Mog History 101...phew! I can be guilty of hijacking a post as much as the rest of us, or running away wit someone elses idea. Nature is a strange beast...
My Trusted MOGs
Speaking of derailed posts and comments I had a lot of fun with August's post about seeing Shud33's band. I don't know how that happened but it did. http://mog.com/Augusts1/blog_post/166619
My Trusted MOGs
Man, this is gonna have to get wikipedia like in all the sub categoris. Mogepedia? I'll have to look into that...
My Trusted MOGs
That A1 thread is boss fisty. Thread jacking is a time honored MOG tradition.I used to be put off by it but, I'm all for it now.
It does seem like the days of the 100 comment thread..things move so fast round here. In a way its good, because if you don't bring it from the start, you are sunk.
My Trusted MOGs
I meant..
It does seem like the days of the 100 comment thread are gone
My Trusted MOGs
Mogpedia? A MOG wiki?
My Trusted MOGs
Great concept.
One of my favorite Lizzie posts;
Strange Fruit - http://mog.com/Lizziegreeneyes/blog_post/85615
Just about anything Chuck puts out.
Known Human has more then a few good one's.
Fistulas Pirate Day post was keen.
Soulrockets Favorite Mixed Drink post is memorable.
And to toot my own horn,
My Sept 11th post, America, We Have A Problem and the Constitutional series I had going for awhile.
Here are some of my other faves.

Great idea guys, great idea. This is what I was hoping would happen to Quotable Mog but that just died a quiet death.
My Trusted MOGs
will the next step be running for public office?
My Trusted MOGs
Who? Me?
My Trusted MOGs
Priceless and inordinately accurate intro, thanks!
My Trusted MOGs
w00t! this is the penultimate topic, thanks for putting it together. on top of spending ALL my time mogging, i will now spend the rest of it visiting the above links one by one. thanks, mog, for being my social life. (;
My Trusted MOGs
Ooh I just remembered a classic of mine. Tapes Vs Cds. That was a lot of fun. http://mog.com/fistula_spume/blog_post/42499
My Trusted MOGs
Was it you or Rawk that did a post on Breakdancing or Breakin' and had the Alfonso (from Silver Spoon's) guide to breakdancing? That was one of my favorites.
My Trusted MOGs
Speaking of Rawkiddo...the song titles fitting to cars was quite a memorable one for me! Everytime I see a PT Cruiser I think "Won't get fooled again" hah!
My Trusted MOGs
I thought it was fisty who did the breakdance post..he was large on the dancefloor back in the day.
My Trusted MOGs
I forgot all about those. That was my Breakin' and Poppin' posts. Cody I can rock, shock, lock and pop with the best of em.

Here's a few of mine I liked refering to my affection for the song Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and Eddie Hazel:

and this one that asked if there was a Funk standard:
http://mog.com/contrabandwidth/blog_post/152710
My Trusted MOGs
contra, I made my case for the standard on your post.
My Trusted MOGs
I was wondering when you were gonna mention yours. While we're at it. I actually have a couple of your posts book marked.
WWJM...

My Trusted MOGs
Thanks Cody! And a rebuttal follows...
Thanks Sunshine! I like when other people pick them, because it's always ones I fogot about. It's always nice hearing which posts other people liked.
My Trusted MOGs
And I have now rebutted your rebuttle with my final answer,Regis.
My Trusted MOGs
Most excellent Tyler! Both those posts were funked up. The ones Sunshine pointed out were really cool too. I know what your saying about someone else remembering one. I completely forgot about those Breakin' ones. I had to really dig to find them though and I went through a ton of my posts. I'm really lovin' how much yours and Cody's posts got me all nostalgic over old posts. It's fun! I keep thinking to myself if it weren't for you I wouldn't have seen that How To Draw A Bunny movie, or rented the Bruce Haack documentary or downloaded most of his catalog from your link. Good times.
My Trusted MOGs
Hey, the pleasures mine! I don't know if I could get through all your suggestions in 100 years time, there's been so many. Strangely it's your delving into Sebadoh which has brought me back to things like the Kids soundtrack, listening with new ears, wondering why I didn't get it back then. I'm always late to the party anyway, and will probably get to the good 90's music I missed around 2010. Like I said, it's always an honor to be able to expose you to something!
My Trusted MOGs
As I've always said (because I did the math) it would take 4 lifetimes of listening to music non-stop to hear everything that has ever been recorded. That's just music. I'm glad if I can turn you on to Sebadoh. They're one of my favorites. it's like proto-emo (and I hate that shit and why they never bring up Sunny Day Real Estate is beyond me). We're always late to the game for everything. I had this idea in the early 90's that if I was always going to be late then why not try to be early. That's all very well and good because I still hate a lot of music. You gotta pic your genres when your ready for them. I still fucking hate a lot of music and have no time for it. I like you because I feel that we share a common love of weirdness and art. Plus you seem to command a greater skill of innernetz bulshiz.
