Listen, its all connected in ways we can never perceive. From that stirring creature at the bottom of a dark scottish loch, to the zombies in their cubicles starring glassy-eyed at the clock, From the earthworm to the cloud.The agony of indifference
I am loving being a full time music blogger! The pay is not great, non existent actually, but the peace of mind that comes along with this job is priceless...just priceless!I wanted to share my favorite song off of my favorite David Lowery(our fellow mogger) album....Cracker's 'The Golden Age'The first time I listened to this record, many moons ago, I had trouble getting through it because I pl...
New Video from Cracker that manages to summon up the countercultural madness of the title, "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out with Me." David Lowery has been one of our best contemporary songwriters since we first heard him fronting Camper Van Beethoven, and these days, no matter what outfit he's writing for, he continues to deliver smart songs. And then he's got the voice to sing them. Doesn't hurt t...

Euro-trash girlOver my left shoulder a little voice keeps saying "provide quality content, write some meaningful dialog that will captivate the reader and show how profound you can be in your musical insights", over my right shoulder a somewhat louder voice declares "F the reviews that you're not really good at anyway and just post some more great music"....that is all,MogOn now go here -http:/...
This is happening in Scottsdale I guess but if you have a car or friends or even a bike you should be able to get there OK...right? Cracker might be a little stale by now (ZING!) but if you are a sucker for 90's rock (everybody that goes to Martini Ranch) then you might enjoy some reminiscing over $14 Red Bull Vodkas. Tix are $20 (HOLY CRAP) and probably still available at Zia.
Quite a few people have been wondering what is up with the bands this year. After two years of 100+ shows a year I guess it is a little odd to see just a couple of upcoming shows on our websites.Well i suppose the answer is obvious. we needed to go home and rest, resume our lives and work on new music.CRACKER Cracker is currently doing songwriting for a new album. we don't have a release dat...
