So, next February sees the release of the 30th anniversary edition of Nick Lowe's debut album Jesus Of Cool. When first issued in the US back in 1978 it was under a different title, namely Pure Pop For Now People, the J-word being thought as too inflammatory in some parts of the country.I'm now trying to put together a list of other albums whose titles were altered in foreign territories. Thing...

Nick Lowe, Robyn Hitchcock(The Fillmore, San Francisco CA, 04/12/2008)I want to age like Nick Lowe: with great dignity. When I'm closing in on 60, I want his relaxed charm, faint smile, easy humor, gaunt figure, and confident grace. From the way Lowe transmitted these qualities throughout his 90-minute down-to-mid-tempo set at The Fillmore last night, it's hard to say whether resignation to age...

Few musicians can claim renegadery to pup rock and new wave- especially since I'm pretty sure I just made the word "renegadery" up. Fictional words aside, Nick Lowe is considered the bastardized grandfather of quite a few underground styles, which isn't surprising when you hear Jesus of Cool, his first solo album from 1978 which has just been re-released on Demon Records UK. I hadn't heard muc...

.okay... my first post... post-new-mog...I was supposed to help with testing the new MOG but I got absolutely creamed by work... (feeling really guilty about it...) ...but the place looks great!... now to take it for a test spin...Nick Lowe should be in everyone's record collection... he's the guy other musicians dig...

Nick Lowe was another member of the band Rockpile, it follows up with the post I just made on Dave Edmunds. This tune is my favorite Nick Lowe song I believe. Not really sure to be honest if it is an original or not, maybe someone else out there knows.

If there is anything that get's the ol' moggers riled up, it's topics of religion and politics. So I'm going to get a little secular/philosphical for this post - but don't worry, I'm not into trying to convince anyone that my belief system is the right one.This may be silly, but speculation is like 90% of the blogosphere, so like the title says "What Would Jesus Mog?"I'm not even asking anyone...

2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Nick Lowe's seminal 1978 album Jesus of Cool. The album, released in the U.S. as Pure Pop for Now People, marks the beginning of one of the most storied and influential solo careers in pop music and marks the true emergence of a songwriting monolith. The album is a literal compendium of 25 years of pop music history. Here, the sweet melodies of pre-Beatles pop...

Thanks to everyone who's been putting out good vibes for my father.Saturdays operation wasn't exactly a success, the doctor had to go back in on Monday and even then he's been experiencing some complications, I'll probably be taking him back to the emergency room tomorrow. He's not in any pain, so that's good, but something says we may have to look into a medical malpractice case because this m...

It's my theory that if you're reasonably preoccupied with music - in other words, if you're like practically everyone here - over the years you've developed your own idiosyncratic patterns for buying and listening to music. I used to buy one album (vinyl, then CD) every week or two, play it to death, then move on to the next one. Nowadays I find more pleasure in waiting a month or two, then dev...
