I think I will just title my posts after long lyrics from this day forward. I do it a lot anyway, and I may as well do it all the time since I am constantly thinking in song lyrics anyway. Oh, and tonight's title is courtesy of Gram Parsons and really doesn't have anything to do with anything other than it just popped up on the shuffle.Its an odd thing to see your musical taste graying year by ...

SO, last weekend I was on top of my game and drunkenly told some girl that I had met(and subsequently promised my extra Raconteurs ticket to) that I thought her eyes were sort of beer-colored. Smooth, I know. And the fact that said girl still wanted to have ANYTHING to do with me after that debacle should have been my first clue that maybe she wasn't all there. But I am not so smart.So after wo...

What to post as my first Mog? How about a question? I know you can answer this because if you didn't have these feelings you wouldn't be on MOG anyway.What little part of a song just gives you goosebumps when you hear it? Every time? Is it the opening bars of a band's iconic song, say the deep flange of "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths? Maybe it's sheer power pushed through the speakers, like th...

"Make-Out King" by Eleni Mandell off of Miracle of Five I can't be seen Kissing the make-out king I know that they'll all be saying She's gone crazy Arms so long His heart is strong And I'm never sleeping again The make-out king Is in my bed And I'm so tired I think I'm a junkie His hair is curly He drinks like nobody knows where he's going And nobody cares what he's saying Dancing like he mig...
