I discovered Nicole Atkins a few months ago - she opened up for Chris Isaak at the Beacon Theatre. This may be the very first time that I went out to the lobby and bought the album IMMEDIATELY after she left the stage. Such gorgeous music - every song she did gave me goosebumps, I really felt like I was witnessing a breakthrough performance. I also loved her stage chatter, she was quite funn

The Way It Is
Brand new year
Oh mein gott in himmel, it's been almost a YEAR since my last confession!New year, renewed vigor for posts and all that. Here's what's going on with me - I'm working with a few new groups which I'm very excited about. Trivium - hard metal band out of Florida that rock like crazy. Not only are they great musicians (and admittedly, I'm not a massive metal fan) but they are super nice fellas, ...

Songs that make me cry
I'm a big crybaby. I cry watching movies, I cry at airports (especially seeing a family reuniting), I cry reading books....you get the picture.No surprise at all that some music makes me teary, blurry, blubbery and sad. When I need a good pity party, here are the songs that I can always rely on:Hallelujah by Leonard CohenCalling All Angels by Jane SiberrySnow Angel by Antonyanything off of Th...

Duets with Wyclef Jean

Artist:
I take the subway a lot. I even saw Meryl Streep on the subway once. I just saw the video for Someone Call 911 by Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige. I want someone to sing like that in my subway car, but i don't want it to be because they need someone to call emergency services.Wyclef has such a wonderful voice, and I don't know much about his music other than this song, and 2 Wrongs Don't Make It R

America (the band)

Artist:
I was watching CNN this morning and saw a commercial for Here and Now. Man, I've totally forgotten about America! Even with a stun gun to my temple I couldn't have told you who sang "Sister Golden Hair" but yet, I hear a clip and I'm thinking, wow, that's one of my favorite songs! I grew up with Ventura Highway, Horse With No Name, etc. but I guess the music data base in my brain replaced America

Rain songs
For some reason, I always end up listening to songs about rain when it's raining. Today it was Garbage with Shirley screaming out that she's only happy when it rains, and Moby singing about rain hitting the roof of a car like water bullets. A little bit of Sting with After The Rain Has Fallen and damn, where is my Supertramp? I know there's a song about rain in there somewhere.....I was so busy

End of first work week in '07
I'm feeling pretty welcome here, it's always fun to have comments on a post, and nice welcoming comments they were! I'm going to have to be a bit snoopy and get into the mog-o-sphere this weekend and check out some sound samples. Thanks for the heads up on the Sand the B's accordion solo, have to revisit that.I ran into my neighbor on the bus on my way home last night, and I was telling him a...

Super Excited
Brand new to Mog life. I'm so lame, i had to look up 'hizzy'. I can't wait to start learning about some new music. I hope I can introduce some new stuff too. My tastes are kind of diverse - i love 80's stuff, i love anything that Sloan Wainwright (or any of the Wainwrights) sings, i love anything written by Paul Anka and I'm newly crazy for Basque music, although my favorite Basque band is no
