farewell lala...
about 2 years ago

Between hypem and lala, i've been getting my fill elsewhere and haven't spent much time on mog lately...That may change since lala is sadly disappearing. Too bad. It was far from perfect, but being able to hear full length sample tracks and decent digital prices was a good combo. I hope Apple persists some of the good things about lala into itunes, but i'm pretty skeptical at this point.Listeni...

the voice of wR
over 3 years ago

And speaking of Whirling Road... those of you that followed them know that 3/4ths went on to sign with Sony as Getaway Cruiser (pretty different sound from WR). The singer, Kevin, went his own way. I always loved his voice, but haven't heard it since the breakup... Heard through the MI grapevine that he is back in the studio. I'll update if I find out more...

This song just breaks my heart and i can't get it out of my head. For those of you not literate with our n
