A friend referred me to this artist a week ago. Since then I have been mesmorized by The Hood Internet's mixes. They're original, wildly variable, and most importantly, they mix together tracks that I would in some cases never listen to solo. Single soundwaves from MGMT fall into that statement's bucket. I can't listen to anything they create, and yet a mix of Kids and Lil' Kim totally appeals to

WIRED ALL WRONG.
A friend described this band as electric-pop. While the terms generally agree with the sound, such a description is completely limp-wristed. Equating Wired All Wrong to electric-pop only begins to scratch the surface, much like pinning the genre "electronic" to Radiohead.What they do sound like is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine the love-child of a Muse, Chemical Brother's, and Justin Timber

Artist:
I forget when I first listened to Jamie Cullum, but the attraction was instantaneous. My jazz roots compelled me to listen. My funk upbringing clutched to his rhythm. And my appreciation of spectacular talent denied my fingers the ability to hit next. I was hooked.After spending a recent night listening to the music of a good friend at Boston's Hard Rock Cafe, I came away a solid reminder. A mutua

When it comes to characters, strings are hit or miss. Plenty of artists use them unnecessarily or use them without any real direction. However, others possess the innate ability to blend string melodies into their songs. While Stand Up is most certainly hip-hop, string use creates a unique landscape that, in my opinion, makes it the best song on Fight With Tools.The somber note fade present at the

FRESH BEATS!
Greetings!I work too much and can't access MOG at work. Logically, this means that I spend too little time on the site. Shucks. That being said, listening to music isn't something I've stopped doing. For this post, I thought I'd share my latest playlist, aptly titled "The Good Life."In no particular order:1. Brother Ali - Good Lord2. Boogie Down Productions - Sound of Da Police3.

KINGS OF LEON -- 4.18.2009 -- BOSTON
-
Artist:
With two very close friends, I had the pleasure of checking out the Kings of Leon performance last night at Boston University's Agganis Area. Consider this less of a review and more of a commentary.1. The Area: I am typically skeptical of area concerts due to the riduclous variability in sound quality. Even when designed specifically for great sonic performance, there are inevitably too many spots

Let me tell you what fortunes you have.

Artist:
I know, I know. This album won a whole bunch of awards. Therefore, it has much to live up to and likely will dissapoint. But, I didn't hear about the album until I knew it won the awards. A Robert Plant/Alison Krauss duo simply hadn't been on my radar.First, the rhythm. I immediately latched onto it because of its similarity to another song I really love: There, There, by Radiohead. Listen closely

Wow.First let me comment on how long it has been since my last post -- over a month! While not long in the grand scheme of mother earth, it feels like forever ago to me.Anyhow. To the music we go.People Under the Stairs is an elusive group that seems to fall off and track back onto my playlist with regularly frequency. Four or five songs will be on repeat for weeks and then, inevitably, a new blip

Ever since I heard Trouble, RL's signature hit, I've been addicted. Who has a voice like this? No one. And who in contemporary music sounds like him? No one. I addition to have mind-blowing talent, he's reached an atmospherically ridiculous level of originality.That being said, I haven't purchased the album yet. But, I did manage to snag this song.From a drumming perspective, this song hits home i
