I will eventually post an update about the mix I'm making for the middle-age lady I work with, but for now, here's a quick and easy post! Here are my responses to "The Great MOG Survey":http://mog.com/watchbatteries/blog_post/72055.!The Great MOG Survey ====================1. What is the one album you can listen to from start to finish?There are way more than one, but I'll go with Fever to Tell by

My cubicle-mate at work, Sue, is in her late 40s. Her husband plays upright bass in various orchestras in the area for a living. They both pretty much listen exclusively to classical music. They have two daughters, who are in third and fourth grade, respectively. Sue is really worried that the more precocious of the two, Emma, is going to start listening to rap solely because Sue doesn't like it.

Aaight people, I work for a company that publishes books for teachers (Heinemann) and one of the biggest conferences that we exhibit at is this weekend (NCTE, National Council of Teachers of English). Though I am but a lowly Marketing Assistant, I am going to be working at this conference.Here's the deal. It's at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, where, rumor has it, they play co

My brother is moving out of Maine for the first time in his life. He's visited many other states and a few other countries, but none for any extended period of time. Last week he announced that he is moving to Bozeman, Montana. He's leaving Monday or Tuesday with his dog and whatever he can fit into his car. I'm really proud of him, he's just been stagnating at a bar in Kennebunkport for the past

So my boyfriend hates concerts. No, I'm not sure how the relationship works either, but it somehow manages to forge on despite this fact. I tried and tried, and finally resigned myself to the fact that he will never get into concerts the way I do. I blame it on his upbringing (not a lot of good music there). He hadn't even gone to a concert before he met me!Then my two best friends moved far, far

I've been holding off on this for a while but I have to come clean: I bought the wrong Decemberists CD.I had a Barnes & Noble gift card, and though I normally don't buy CDs there, I wanted to use it and I already have about ten books at home that I haven't read yet, so I figured I'd buy the new Beck CD (which I bought the right one of, thanks), and the new Decemberists. The only ones in the bin we

A teeny bit of backstory: I have a friend who once was obsessed with U2 and similar bands. In college she started dating the man who would later become her husband, a gentleman obsessed with pop-punk (Blink 182 and clones thereof). Since then, my friend has slowly lost her music identity and now only listens to bands that her husband approves of (and he's a misogynist, so none of these include ban

I was a HUGE fan of Beck all through high school and college and up until recently, when I found out that he is a scientologist. I was able to not think about this fact for a couple of years. But this summer I went to see Kathy Griffin and her description of the "religion" had me rolling on the floor laughing at how utterly ridiculous it is. Body-thetans???? Everyone is an alien? And the amount of

So I was making a mix CD for a friend today and, I admit, I was very proud of myself and checked my Mog page to make sure it recorded the fabulous songs that I was playing. ALAS! None of them were recorded since they were played on my Creative player, the one that came with my Creative Jukebox Nomad Zen MP3 player. And apparently Mog does not recognize this player. So I tried putting the mix CD...

Peaches' new album kicks ass. And really, with a title like Impeach My Bush, how could it NOT kick ass? But seriously, the beats are awesome, it's hilariously raunchy, and I can't stop listening to it. I think it's better than Fatherfucker. If you're a Peaches fan (or a Gravy Train fan), definitely check it out. I'm also excited because since I preordered it I got a free Peaches poster and an I...
