Like so many of us, MOG has been a godsend, a haven where I have found people who share a similar passion for music. Sure, we all don't like the SAME music, but the fact alone that we're all passionate about music makes MOG so exciting.As a result, I cannot count the number of times that MOGgers have shared their frustrations that the other people in their lives don't quite understand that pass...

My punk experience started while 12, living in Orange County, California. All the older boys were suddenly listening to Rodney on the ROQ and I was confused and frightened by the furious noises I heard (Circle Jerks, Germs, Black Flag).

1) I've heard Sufjan Stevens, the Decemberists, and a few other indie acts that get a lot of support here, and they just don't SING for me.

A co-worker dropped off a copy of this documentary for me to watch at my leisure, and since I work in an independent record store I think I can offer a slightly more unique response to it than your average audience member. To put it succinctly, this is a film about record stores being shuttered [...]

Just an observation after watching the crowds tonight.I was at a punk rock show at a local bar that sits across the street from a fancy hotel. There was something going on at the hotel because tour busses kept pulling up and unloading groups of 20somethings decked out in fancy clothes.
