Twice this past Sunday I heard 311's "Down" on the radio. Before this Sunday I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to 311. No reason for that in particular except things get lost in the massive ol' music library and that song is so 1995. (P.S. 1995 ruled!) Turns out it was an omen. Today news hits that 311 will release their new rock-centric album, Uplifter, the band's first in three yea...
311's combination of funk, rap, metal, ska, and reggae has resulted in a few intriguing tunes, even if most of their work sounds more like science experiments gone horribly wrong. Their lyrics are a similarly odd mélange: science-fiction references, effusive odes to the mind-expanding powers of marijuana, and unconvincing white boy hip-hop braggadocio. Here are five of the worst lines from five..

Bass Update: P-Nut II Signature Bass After P-Nut stopped by to check out his new signature bass, he decided to make a change with the electronics. He has fallen in love with the pickups and preamp on his last signature bass, so he decided to put that killer combo on his new bass. The set-up is very similar to the Jazzman electronics - a MEC passive, large pole piece pickup in the bridge and a M...

It seems as though thing have begun to look up for me and mine. The wife has a job interview, I have a job prospect that should contact me within the next 24 hours, not a bad start. Good to know that there is something out there for people who want to work and even though its not a definite I feel like this tremendous weight has been lifted. A relief for sure and to keep things positive I submi...

"311":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/311_%28band%29 .....rarely will you ever find a band that people are so passionate about loving/hating. I personally like the band, but I go on spells of 6 months to a year that I can not hear their music. I don't know what it is....P-nut, Chad Sexton, & Tim Mahoney are all good musicians. They really put on a great live show, but something about their musi...
It's been quite a few years since the guys of 311 soaked in mainstream success. The band's rise to fame started in Omaha, Nebraska, where a young Nick Hexum and crew introduced local bars to their alternative rock style paired with hip-hop and reggae.But it wasn't until 1995 when 311 catapulted to stardom with their single "Down" followed by "All Mixed Up." Their sound connected with the musica...
I had better hop on this mogwagon before it leaves town (oh, wait, it left town months ago, and I never got around to posting this...), although I'm not sure if I'm popular enough on Mog to merit such a post.My name is Dana, I live somewhere near Rawkkiddo in frosty or overbearingly humid Minnesota, depending on the season (there's only two!). I should hope that I live and love music. I'm me...
So some of you, probably only Mr. Mike the Knife, pinkertonwasbetter and Charley Rogulewski at the moment, may be getting added trust mogger email notes from Mog, now and in the future. There's a plug/app. (I'm not computer savvy enough to know which, but I think it's a plugin) called socialbrowse going around the intarwebz right now, that I'm using to share your wonderful music stuffs, but it...
It started with pop music. Those annoying, catchy songs everyone has heard that cling to the inside of your cranium like crazy glue. For those of you who do not radio, I hope you never know this type of torture. Growing up in my teens, I latched onto the idea that if a song was super pop-y and catchy, I would not like it - you all know the whole teenage rebellion ways. This is why I initial...
