The publicist for the Meat Puppets sent a note out today announcing that the band had been picked to open three dates for the reunited Stone Temple Pilots, urging recipients to "Party like it's 1993!" I'm not sure that's such a good idea.It's great to have the band back in fighting shape after more than a decade in the wilderness, and I for one would like to keep it that way. But to casually in...

It felt a bit odd as I walked down 11th Street past the Repulsion show at DNA Lounge, where a sea of metalheads in black took a cigarette break. I looked at them, wide eyed with a sense of longing. I really need a good metal show in my life right now. [...]

Last month, I gave a friend of mine an extra ticket to come with me to see The Stooges. This month it came back around to me in the form of a free Meat Puppets ticket. I love how things like this work in our lives. I got right up front against the stage. Was crushed and hit in the head and stepped on such as all the things we endure to be up front.

What I did know, was that it wasn’t entirely out of the question for my parents to be apart. I think my dad played on that fact, and it pacified me at the time.During my first years my family moved

I am in a black hole of creativity tonight. I have posts that I need to write, research and publish. But I don't see it happening. Not right now. When I first came to MOG, I saw it as an outlet for my thoughts and tastes in music. Eventually it grew into something more. Instead of launching into a long-winded story about something else entirely, I would like to ask these questions. Why do we MO...
