Last night, Mew took to the stage at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London to continue their European tour in promotion of recent albums, No More Stories… Unusually for a venue like the Shepherds Bush Empire, the sound was a bit off for the first few songs but halfway through The Zookeeper’s Boy it picked [...]

Upon walking in for the support act for a band, you can often find yourself with a head-scratcher. Choir of Young Believers, though, if not sonically identical to Mew, certainly share the same stable. The enormous video rig which Mew always take on the road necessitated a few small changes in the stage set-up tonight, chief among them was the need to push the drummers against the side wall, rat...

Forgive me Blogger, for I have sinned. I know I've dismissed, unfairly at times, a lot of music in the past few months--I can't help it, it's in my nature. I also know that I've failed to write about the small amount of music I actually have liked--surely no way for a hobbyist critic with delusions of grandeur to act. So here, without further ado, are some reviews...Mew--No More Stories...Me...

Mew's No More Stories... features many of their best songs to date, is back loaded with some excellent tracks, and rewards repeated listens. It works when listening to headphones or playing on a speaker throughout your apartment. If the album existed in a bubble, I would be willing to highly recommend it. As it stands, however, I must declare No More Stories one of the most more disappointing a...

The band that brought you the worst album cover in rock brings you the worst album title in rock. Fortunately, it's a damn fine album.

I am interrupting HHT for this announcement: I like Mew. I give up. I burned a copy of "And the Glass Handed Kites" to listen to in my car along with a bunch of other things the MOGsters have recommended to me, and it finally came around for me on a longish car trip a week ago. By the third song in, I'm thinking this is the most brilliant record I've ever heard, and then I realize, damn. This i...

*Special*It's been a while since I've crowed about my favorite Danish imports, and by now most of you MOGgers are on board. I picked up And The Glass Handed Kites back in October '05 based on a review in Drowned In Sound, but had shelved it, and hadn't given it a full listen. One year later, I shuffled my tail to Lawrence "*and saw them open for Kasabian*":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/17412. ...

It's finally late enough in the year that I can take a flyer on a list of my 25 favorite songs this year. I have included my usual pithy comments, because I can't imagine putting a simple list forth, and not offering at least a bit of explanation. I have also noted the songs that I discovered during my time on MOG, with credit given where applicable.And if this list looks a lot like my obsessio...

Mogger RobinH and I found sparks flying between us on MOG about a year ago and decided to step it up a notch. After 3 months of daily musical and non-musical musings, on MogMail and personal email, we felt a deep bond between us and decided to meet in person. So last June, we each booked off a two-week holiday and Robin set off from the UK to Canada to meet me. We had firmly fallen in love in ...
