Amos Lee

Amos Lee is a contemporary, urban troubador whose style has a wide appeal.This cut from the Supply and Demand CD is a personal favorite. Just thought I'd post some newer music so y'all didn't think I lived alone with 5,000 old LPs and a cat named Henry.

I wasn't gonna write anything up about Amos Lee's new Blue Note records release. I've never got into the man in the cheesy popcorn-vending hat's music. But I did have the decency to skim the info about his new album, Last Days at the Lodge, out June 24th, 2008, and was surprised by what I read. Lee who has impressively toured/opened for Van Morrison and Bob Dylan is using some huge names as back-up on his third album. Apart from Lee, on guitars there's Doyle Bramhall, Jr... MORE

I love public television. And specifically a program called Austin City Limits. I credit this show for instilling in me a love and admiration for the great Sufjan Stevens and the amazing Chan Marshall. I don’t consider myself a huge music junkie so I watch to be educated and have yet to be disappointed by its selection of musicians.
That said, a while ago on the show there was a guy who looked to me like Snoop Dogg wearing high-waisted pants, suspenders, and an acousti... MORE

I haven't been on MOG for awhile. How have y'all been? I've been busy working at a skate-shop as an art-designer. All I do is art-related, I also got a gig to work on graphics with* [not for] a skateboard manufacturer making skateboard & shirt graphics for skate companies around the U.S. So far I have made graphics for companies in Corpus-TX, San Diego, San Francisco, Florida & China. As a matter of fact, I spoke with some dude [American] from a factory in China last week ... MORE

Is it really only Monday? My bad weekend spilled right into the early part of the week...oh well, nothing was broke that can't be fixed...and it HAS to get better. I have been coping with large amounts of Amy Winehouse and Amos Lee...I love this song especially...wonderful words...listen close...

Me-Krooked Grind Jesse-Backside Tailslide Today was pretty productive.. School, art, skateboarding with an old friend & music.. That wraps up a good day i guess..

Whooo.. I finally got a chance to buy the new album from Amos Lee! Time for some hot gentle baby making session.. uhm mmm... The ladies, [preferably southern girls] will definitely dig it when they hear these tunes pop off when they step in my lounge/room..

Yess... I finally have a new job on the grill at a Mexican restaurant call Chipotle.. Hmm, wonder what I'm gonna make first.. And the skate shop (De Libre) that accepted to sell my clothing line (SkyWorks Apparel) is finally going to open this Friday!! And to top that off, I get to have my parents' Honda Accord. Wee, celebrating this Saturday fore shore.. And it would make things alot better if I get to buy new albums from Youth Group & Amos Lee.

I might have mentioned that in addition to my already full plate of graduate school (or rather, working on my dissertation proposal, funding applications, two side research projects, and getting ready to go to Africa) and hanging out with my hubby and friends, I work two days a week at a book and music store. Silly me-- I went into work tonight with the remnants of a terrible hangover and not wanting to deal with people. So I went back to the safe haven that is the music s... MORE

I am completely under this man’s spell. I don’t really understand it, because usually music this mellow would have my skin crawling and my brain itchy. I do most of music listening in my car and I’m usually very angry in my car. Who isn’t? You have to battle idiots just to get to job that you hate on time. But, when one of his songs come on I literally feel all of my muscles relaxing. I will still flick off the guy next to me but I no longer feel the need to roll dow... MORE
