Out of the woodwork didn't seem to work on the web, so...
I just added a handful of new links to the list of "Get to know me" mogger posts and now it's getting looooooong! Who knew we had this many verified people on MOG?!
I'm loving every minute of reading these and I'm going to get around to commenting on all of them too. If you wrote a post in this theme and you don't see it linked in the widget (on my MOG page on the left) then drop the link in the comments here and I'll be sure to add it.
And of course, this post needs music... Here's what else I'm loving this week:
Talking Heads/Balloon Trip:
^ I found this in Brand X's MOG post last week and fell in love with it. BIG UPS to Brand X! (Originally couldn't remember who posted it, but I knew someone would remind me in the comments...)
And this, "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker:
I remember ads like this for Memorex tapes, but I wish I'd seen this one when it orignally aired. oh well, betta l8 than neva.

Someone is bound to need more Dekker after that little tease, so here's the full, original version:
I'll take those BIG UPS! Thanks!

Not to get too Val on you, but...OMG! "Balloon Trip" is awesome!!! (Not as awesome as all the MOG tell-all posts, mind you.)
that's totally how i felt too Mike! that's why i felt it was so important to give props to Brand X for finding it... yay - glad you dig it!
i especially like the part about the large automobile right as that monster truck appears and runs him down...
Havent heard Desmond for so long, thanks
No thanks necessary, molli, I'm just glad you enjoyed it. For the record, I first saw the video at offworld, who found it at The Resigned Gamer, where the creator of the video posted it with the following text:
I've never believed in much, but in my youth I held a private article of faith that in the extra mode of Balloon Fight if I just kept going a little bit longer, if I just held on, something good would happen. It had to. Or else what was the point?
A small part of me still wants to believe this, but I know better now.
