  My Year in Lists - (with Los Campesinos!)

Perhaps last year you remember Dale (www.mog.com/dale) gathering all the half year lists. Not only was this fun, it was also informative, because this way you could discover all kinds of albums you perhaps hadn't listened to yet but apparently other moggers are very high on! I can honestly say it was the way I discovered and started to love without barriers The National.Dale, having a busier li...

Mogstars: 8/10Twelve seconds into the album and I’ve already been pinned to the wall. Within two minutes I am already exhausted, it seems more like taking a jog than listening to music. Thankfully at two minutes forty the eclectic burst of opening energy finally affords the listener some breathing space. Three minutes per song and just as many chords per-track, this is a vigorous workout of in.

  We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives

My favorite song title of 07 thus far comes courtesy of Los Campesinos. A great song...with one of my favorite lyrics of the year too: 'It's your party, but I'll die if I want to'

Rather, they are a group that contains 6 English men/women and a Russian who sing energetic UK pop, and sing it well, at that.Last Saturday I got to enjoy their music first hand. My husband’s extremely cool 15 year old nephew convinced his mother to bring him from Vancouver BC to Seattle for their show. We got there early so that Nicholas could get up front (good BOY!) and so got to experienc.

The concept is quite simple: a group of people listen to the same song and give their opinion as if they were in the same room listening to the radio at the same time. Stein said a bus is a bus is a bus, some said it was post-modernism, others said it was unreadable. Duchamp's The Fountain is called art by some, nonsense by others. Stein hit Duchamp in the nose and put it the wrong way up, Stei...

I admit, I'm kind of nervous. Kind of nervous because normally I can say anything, and you just have to accept it as the truth. I could say the band all took their shirt off and did a bellydance, and there is no one to say they did not. But this time you can actually judge my review and see the gig. Yikes.So all the more reason to talk about the things you cannot see, but that certainly did hap...

1. Avril Lavigne, "Girlfriend." Hey hey, youtube youtube ... supposedly the most-viewed YouTube video of all time, although there's a lot of controversy there, if anyone cares. Speaking of controversy, anyone who thinks this sounds like the Rubinoos is deaf.2. M.I.A., "Jimmy." I like Avril Lavigne just fine. But I imagine in 20 years or however many it has to be, it'll be M.I.A. entering the Ro...

Here’s a cool method of enticing Pitchfork and its hipster audience. Firstly, associate yourselves with Broken Social Scene for Indie authenticity. Create a frenetic collage of noise by bombarding the listener with as many musical instruments the college music department will let you borrow and worry little over any proficiency in being able to play them adequately. Long, meaningless and occasio
