There are a lot of great quality posts this Funky Friday. Here's a track I'm gonna offer up a track ripe with a recognizable sample for this game of Wormhole!Here's Kool Keith, before he was Dr. Octagon/Black Elvis/etc. with The Ultramagnetic MC's
I have Dzendvokh to thank for helping me figure out how to construct a little game out of posting a song on Mog and exploiting the comments section. Here are the rules I've flushed out so far, and are apt to change, seeing how it plays out with participation of you, fellow moggers! I haven't figured out how to make this competitive or points oriented, rather it works as a social networking ga...
..There's no need to reach all the way back to the 60s or 70s to discover a band with as much power and melody as The Who... .This generation has GUIDED BY VOICES..Born and nurtured in the Lo-Fi nest... sounding like a slightly British garage band, but hailing from Dayton, Ohio, GBV ripped through two decades... leaving empty beer bottles and brilliant tunes in their wake..The heart of GBV is R...
To GbV's Alien Lanes I realize just how used I am to stereo sound and how many possibilites can be opened by using monoaural.Bob Pollard's band managed to bring together a sound that is typical to Mid-Western alt bands like The Replacements, but in addition he managed to give it that casual off-the-cuff air that makes their music so interesting.
It's time once again for another rousing round of Wormhole! What's Wormhole you ask? Well, click on the previous link for full details and games (extra info here and here).This edition of Wormhole is gonna take things in a different direction. I'm going for the Slang Names of cities/areas in music. I'm thinking names like "Bed Stuy", "ATL", "Dirty South". It doesn't just relate to hip hop...

I'm offering up a game of Wormhole! to test out this whole new Mog layout. Heck I don't even know if posting songs in the comments is available anymore - and that's the crux of Wormhole! I would watch the video and learn all about the NEW Mog, but then what would I do at work tomorrow.I offer to you a meatball of a starter:Mose Allion's "Back Country Suite: Blues (AKA Young Man Blues)"
Ever have somebody in your life that you were just absolutely head over heels in love with...but they could just never get their demons in check? And you left because you had to...not because you wanted to...I did.I think about her from time time...and what could have been.I hope she's doing well...this song speaks to relationships like that better than I ever could.'One day I will know it's a ...
