Hey all my Mog-Loves. Haven't been around in a while, but today the feeling's got me.Don't you love it when you have Winamp on random and a song from your collection plays that just grabs you and makes you think, "Damn, this is a GREAT song! Where did this come from?" It's usually a song from an album you downloaded but really didn't give the proper attention. Or a song from an older album....

Have you ever wanted to make love to someone's voice? To be honest, I don't even know what made me start playing this CD today. I haven't listened to it in some months. But, I'm in love with it all over again. I've listened to this particular song a gazillion times today. Really. I counted. It was exactly ONE GAZILLION!This is one of Esthero's more vocal tracks on Wikked Lil' Grrrls. If...

...you last fell in love with an album?It occurred to me recently that whether you can really sink your teeth into a particular piece of new music has a lot to do with what you're doing when you hear it for the first time.Zum Beispiel (German for "for example"), I find it really hard to get into music while I'm sitting at my computer at work. Which is a shame because that's where I do most of ...

Since I'm on my Esthero kick today...I think of all my fellow Moggers every time I listen to this song. Listen to the first 10 seconds, and you'll know why. :)

For years, Esthero has been hip-hop's best friend behind the scenes. Whether co-writing "Love Lockdown" with Kanye West, singing hooks for Mos Def and Goodie Mob, or getting name-dropped by Talib Kweli ("Some Kind of Wonderful"), the girl's a streetwise stamp of quality.But on 2005's Wikked Lil' Grrrls, Esthero teamed up with Sean Lennon (who knows a bit about catchy tunes) for this bouncy ser...

Ok, so I thought I just lost my mind while spending thirty minutes skipping forwards and backwards in iTunes looking for this one song that I have heard like a hundred times in the last week, but not being able to find it. I was doing my best to eliminate the impossible, focusing on what was left, no matter how improbable. I actually, for a minute, considered the possibility that the album so...

Okay... This is maybe possibly corny, but who here watched the season opener of the new show "Heroes"? Since I am a comic book fiend and love a good sci-fi story, I enjoy it. My question is what song wakes up your ability to do whatever you set your mind to? :example: you are at a healthclub working out, losing your energy slowly about to give up for the day, then all of a sudden your iPod blas...

So last month I had the privilege of seeing Esthero perform at the Ram's Head in Annapolis, MD. She played an acoustic set and graciously took Jägermeister-aided requests (including a special one from Gina and me for "Everyday Is A Holiday"). Not only did she put on a dazzling show, but she was nice enough to stay for a meet and greet afterwards :)Thanks so much to Mia for the pictures!And if ..

Esthero – When I Fall In LoveI’ve gotta start this one off with a deep sigh… It really sucks when you have a favorite artist with an immense amount of talent and a plethora of dope hits, but for some reason seems to remain unsigned and only puts out music on the every-now-and-then. Yes, I know I’m not alone in [...]

Pop or trip-hop. I don't care what you call it. What I do know is that our little green-eyed fairy-child has a magic that is hard to resist. She certainly has the pipes to back up her bold and inventive style. I had orinally bought her first CD an a whim and am now thoroughly hooked! She is outspoken and sometimes crude but that is merely part of the addictive spell. I feel compelled to...
