It’s my Mogiversary – I am now ONE in Mog Years!
L'il Darmuzz
All in all, I feel very humbled by the fine company I keep here at Mog. I will perpetually be a musical toddler…y’all know that my musical tastes are wide-ranging and quite appalling really. While you have expanded my horizons and introduced me to all sorts of new music, I still have an innate preference for punk, metal, hardcore and – gulp – emo, which you have not yet managed to exorcise! But now I have more than a passing acquaintance with indie-world.
Before Mog, I spent the previous year trolling for new music by reading Under the Radar, Exclaim! and AP magazines, listening to bands on their own websites and MySpace, and checking the details at allmusic.com. Fortunately I never got into Pitchfork :) Since then, Mog has become my homepage, my daily first stop on the web, and my only stop if I’m in a rush!
I would like to apologize to the Moggers whom I didn’t add as my Trusteds because I was too intimidated by your uber-popularity, and I was certain you would never take any notice of me. There are still a few of you out there, heh! I would like to thank all of the fine folks who welcomed me when I was even more of a newbie, like dj ivi and Sturgell, who are not nearly as bot-like as MySpace Tom. And above all, my best regards to David Hyman for building and funding this place and keeping it afloat, even when we are whiny ingrates.
I love you, Mog!

Congratulations! It is certainly a fine place here. It's a great place to bring all those influences you found elsewhere to share - don't lose those emo leanings! Nice tune too, wasn't anything like what I might have expected...it's spunky!

Wow, you mog like a two year old! ahahahahaha Congrats & I've definitely enjoyed your presence & input here on the mogosphere. Glad I've been able to fill in your early '90s music knowledge too(gee, it's been awhile since I've done one of those posts eh?).

...and who are you?
My Trusted MOGs
What a nice post. I love the baby darmuzz pic. lol. Before you know it, you will be 13 months old. Congrats.
Don't get down on what you like. It is a journey. You are on the right path. Just keep being open to new things and you will be rewarded. I am sure you can at least name a handfull of bands that you may have never found becuase of MOG.
Remember. Like what you like and don't like what you don't like but never hate what you don't like because 4 years from now you will love what you don't like now. ;)

Marigold, yeah, it is that whole "I like what you will like a year from now" hipster vibe!
FastR...you could not have been more concise...well said, mate!
Groon, absolutely - there has been a nice crop of January Mogiveraries!
Robin - Hi! You are outing me as a pop fan. I had to look up who that was even though I saw 16 Candles. Thanks a bunch! Hope you stick around.
Dermahrk, you'll want to take that back after confirming that I like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance.

In your time here you have proven to be an insightful, caring person with a mischevious wit and an empatheic heart. You definitely enhance my MOG experience. (and judgeing by the comments here, a host of others as well.
My Trusted MOGs
A very happy unbirthday to you, Darm ;)
You belong to those people who intimidate me with their knowledgeable repartee and excellent music. Thanks for the very apt track.
