We like to think that Aimee Mann is the female version of Thom Yorke. Well, she has just announced her first tour of Australia after being in the music business for well over a decade now.She first raised our eyebrows with the stellar album 'Bachelor No. 2' back in 2000. After being told that the album wouldn't sell well by various major labels, Mann decided to go at it alone and sell the album...

The 'girl' has always known when to leave a party...Have decided to cease posting, but wanted to take a moment to say farewell to all the wonderful moggers I've come to know these past months; MOG has been immensely satisfying due largely to the eclectic community inhabiting the site. Thanks so much for the fabulous music, comments, and insightful exchanges. Wishing all a lovely holiday season ...
Aimee Mann and "bass player" are probably not synonymous but there it is, photographic evidence AND a wikipedia entry! Aimee Mann is in fact a bass player!She's more known as a songwriter and arranger of intelligent pop music, and to some as no more than the singer from 'Til Tuesday...her music is almost always in the personal/"confessional" vein - writing about relationships, addiction and mor...
The math is simple, but to look at the cover art of ‘Til Tuesday’s 1985 debut, Voices Carry, it’s a little shocking to realize that Aimee Mann, the erstwhile startlingly coiffed college dropout, is now pushing 50. In fact she is, but apart from her easy-going demeanor, there seems to be scant evidence of the fact. Indeed, the skinny jeans and Chuck Taylors that she donned on Tuesday night at
I kind of like the new look for Mog. The intermediate version drove me away. I'll give this one a try.This was an awesome concert. A very relaxed Aimee Mann performed at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz on Oct 3. With a mere 3 musicians on stage, it was still wonderful.The first half of the show was planned, and the second was all requests from the audience. She messed up a few, but didn't se...
I was just sitting here thinking...not even that deeply, and this song came on via the shuffle! Talk about a song that can swing your state of mind! This is some serious life assessing music. Ah, the beauty of the internet...hear it, think it, post it. Aimee Mann - 'Wise Up' MP3 ~~
Another amazing album by the formidable Aimee Mann. Her musical style and lyrics create a deeply personal story-world which the listener is drawn into almost hypnotically. One of the most sophisticated singer/songwriters out there today.
The very nature of this record, its' essence, the spaces where the edges of songs come together, demands the listener to question their own expectations of pop music. That is whether or not it is the job of pop music in general to provide a catchy melody with which to sing along in the car to or should it be used as a device to shine a light on man's deepest desires and faults? Such is t...
If you are planning to see the Christmas show on Aimee's tour, there might be spoilers in this post. Check Aimee Mann's Website for dates and venues. This was no doubt our last concert for 2008. As we stood outside the beautiful art-deco Wiltern Theater Saturday night, me with my two cameras, one of the [...]

Voices Carry is a song that we hear at work, at least, a couple of times a week. Although I grew up addicted to the original, this very atmospheric acoustic version is my favorite.Oh, is it just me or does Aimee Mann have the best smile?
