Okay, absolutely no musical content here. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, except that for the past week there's been a little voice in my head chanting, "just ask the MOGgers, go on," and over time it's gone from a whisper to a quite insistent shriek. And the little voice usually knows something I don't, so here goes nothing:
Is anybody here an orthopedic surgeon, or a specialist in orthopedics? If so, please drop me a MOGmail if you're willing to spend five minutes answering a question or two I have about ulnar collateral ligament damage (thumb, not elbow).
The little voice seems to think one of you has the answer I'm looking for, so we'll see if she's right.
Thanks for tolerating the extreme off-topicness... if it's any consolation, this could be the difference between my being able to continue playing the piano or not, so in that sense it's very musically on-topic for me.
And David, if this made the MOG-Gazette, I'd be forever grateful. Think of it as MOG's first charity case, helping save my artistic career.
Anyway, thank you. Maybe no one has any clue, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
I keep thinking "Hair Gel Bombers" isn't half-bad as a band name. Or, "Lipstick Bombers."
Or, "Dump All Your Water And Face Cream And Throw Away Your iPod And Romance Novel And Submit To A Random Full Cavity Search Which You Have Plenty Of Time For Because You're Going To Be In The Airport For Three Days Anyway Bombers."
Just credit me in the liner notes, that's all I ask.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, awesome. :) Would be even funnier if it weren't so damn true... :(
whew. i flew twice this week. not fun.
plus they confiscated my murray's hair pomade. fuckers!
that shit has the consistency of wax! they let me take my lip balk on board, but not my dapper dan!
I've always been rather partial to, "Turn Your Head and Cough" as a band name myself.
Mike over at progressiveboink has written an article on his 50 worst band names ever. It makes for hilarious reading -- I especially loved the description of Keane, and Mike's apology to MC Vagina for not making the list.
So go cheer yourself up, damn it.
Oh, I was talking to me, not you. Sorry.

awww, i hope someone in the mog community can help you out.
Okay, this is going to sound formal, but I mean it sincere: I want to thank you for your advice & encouragement. I did take what you said to heart, and kept recording even when I felt aimless/didn't know where the track was going or didn't like the first outcome.
This is the current myspace I use, it has some less recent tracks with just me and a guitar: www.myspace.com/maybemarthasaninfo
And this is a new site with a new song I made after some of your feedback: www.myspace.com/bitterbeautifulboom (the "perfectly imperfect" track) I think I'm still hiding my voice under layers, but I guess I'm experimenting a bit, too. Definitely not perfect, just another test run.
And I don't think I've heard Laurie Anderson, but I'm curious to check her out now.
I really wish I could return something, some sort of information about orthopedics or liagament damage, but I've got unfortunately got nothing except for my best wishes. But people who are sincerely interested in music like the good moggers around hhere are usually pretty intelligent, so you're probably on the nose about this being one of the best places to ask. So really, good luck with that! I hope you get to continue with the piano. And thanks again, Audrey
I'm sorry, I'm no doctor, I just stopped by to say what you did with your mog page is awesome. I love how you pulled off red and green without making it look like Chrismas!
