Let's talk about classics for a moment (in the context of music, of course). What is a classic? What does it mean to be a classic? How long does a song have to be around for it to be considered a classic? As a noun, a classic is considered to be "An artist, author, or work generally considered to be of the highest rank or excellence, especially one of enduring significance." and "A work recogni...
You know what I mean.Songs that the word 'inflict' was ceated for!You hear it once and you spend most of your time trying to avoid.A lot pop songs work like that excpet they try to decieve you by pretending they're catchy (ooo-OOO who's feeling cynical tonight!).Being OmniAural as I am I like to think I can listen to anything and sometimes once is all I'll give it.Then again there are some song...

Orbital claimed in a 2002 sleeve note that the single's video, which starred the English actress Tilda Swinton was "by common consent, the best video we've ever done". The promotio...

Not gonna lie, not a fan at all, but whatever she does on stage would certainly be entertaining to some degree. FRIDAY Nine Inch Nails, Morrissey, Orbital, Franz Ferdinand, Puscifer, Katy Perry, Digitalism, The Presets, K's Choice, [...]
Summer has begun, but I have unfinished business. I had a solid three week hiatus from concert-going, but I made it to a bunch of events as the school year winded down. I saw a couple bands for the second time, but also went to some fresh parts of town, which is always an interesting experience. It's probably accurate to say that I learned NYC's geography through concert venues, but as I se...
Just 5 hours left before NASA's LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) impacts the moon, where it will collect water, ice and vapor samples for further analyzation. Wherever you are, you can enjoy this playlist of spacey atmospheres I made just for this astronomous occasion. According to our local Moffet Field NASA site, the full impact event goes from 3:20-6am Pacific Time (O...
Classic British techno group Orbital used all sorts of great sounds to create their epic raver tracks. This one is from the mid 90's off the In Sides album. They also have some classic arp riffs on earlier works but unfortunately those discs are not in my computer at this time.If interested check out the highly recommended "classic track posted by schnitzengruben: Chime":http://mog.com/schnitze...
Morning Moggies! Mog seems to be runnin' like a jackalope on steroids this morning, hope it continues. Night of strange dreams, and even stranger is how similar my wife and I dreamt - featuring some of the same characters. Well, need to chat (mundanely) Be back soon.
