I was looking for a song about assholes this morning and I found I had 3 with that word in the title. I noticed that Martha Wainwright's song "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" was in the 2008 SXSW Showcasing Artists group. I forgot all about her 2005 self-titled album. I really quite liked it. I know every post and article has to mention that she is Rufus Wainwright's sister and daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle so I'm doing it too. Did you know t... MORE

Martha Wainwright, sister to Rufus and daughter to Loudon, will release her sophomore album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too on June 10th, 2008.
The racy titled album and follow-up to her 2005 self-titled effort also sports some heavy names. Pete Townshend, the Band's Garth Hudson, and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, along with her family Rufus, mother Kate McGarrigle, aunt Anna McGarrigle, and first cousin Lily Lanken all contribute to the new 14-track effort...

It was an entertainment twi-night double-header to remember on Friday. And not just because of the good stuff, which was plentiful. First, I caught a late afternoon screening of the surreal Bob Dylan tribute/biopic “I’m Not There,” which was a trip and a half, with multiple actors playing different elements of the American folk-rock icon’s personality during different stages of his life. It’s interesting to note that filmmaker Todd Haynes chose stars associated with the ... MORE

You ever have a weekend that breaks your heart? A feeling that everything that is good in your life you fuck up?
And no amount of drink or whatever fixes it. I just got through a weekend full of lost love and darkness. And perhaps Martha went through some similar times.
There nothing easy about being an adult.... MORE

My dear extended MOG family,
my iPod is gone. This is the sort of misfortune that wants to prompt a wail
or a "why"
times five thousand
but as the fuse of my frantic panicache reaches its brittle peace
the broken opus
settles on a 48 measure rest
of tell all silence
because any effort to wave a fist
is futile. It is not coming back. I don't think anyone quite understands what this means to me.
I can't complain to my friends because
a) I ... MORE

I cant help thinking I missed the initial boom. I remember reading about Martha Wainwright, and even sorta thinking I should give her a spin or 2... but sitting here now, listening to "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" I can't help hoping that this is the new face of folk/alt country music... its just plain great....

Title is a song lyric and does nor reflect my feelings on joining mog. :-P
I have quite an intense fondness for Snow Patrol's "Set The Fire To The Third Bar," and a lot of what contributes to the musical fondness is its haunting quality brought about by the accompanying voice, Martha Wainwright. I had never heard of her before, but her contribution makes the song more acutely powerful, both because she is the other half of the two people desperately missing each other,... MORE
