(With apologies to the estate of A.A. Milne for that title...)Like other fellow citizens of the MOG-iverse, I marked six months of contributions, canvassing and gleaning at this most wonderful online mash-up of community, blogspot, and informal music seminar by posting my thoughts on the subject. (http://mog.com/Mike_the_Knife/blog_post/67217) I ruminated about my initial reluctance to particip...

These lyrics are strangely comforting to me. Just saying them back to myself while Jenn-eee sings them like some scorned horny little elf just makes me feel all warm inside. Odd.And the grass it was a tickingand the sun was on the risei never felt so wickedas when i willed our love to die.Thoughts?

Track:I Love L.A.
For my next installment of Vintage B-sides/Outtake Classics comes one of the best songs, never officially released, about Los Angeles. Rilo Kiley's "I Love L.A." A staple of their live shows, this is a song my good friend Cate was searching for. I found this version online.I Love L.A. best describes the City of Angels that I love so much. It's been over two years since I moved out here from Chi...

Album:Live at Fingerprints

Track:Does He Love You (acoustic)
Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley shine in this very poignant acoustic version of Does He Loves You. Anyone who's fallen for someone attached to another can relate to this one. That Jenny has a way with words. She captures the emotion of waiting for something that's never really going to come true.The lesson I eventually learned is, life is to short to wait for someone to decide to be with you. Don't ...

Track:Science vs. Romance (acoustic)
I've never really been a fan of Rilo Kiley but every once in a while a song like I Love L.A. or this acoustic version of Science vs. Romance actually intrigued my music minded curiosity. After listening to the lyrics, I pondered what this was about:"I used to think if I could realize I'd die then I would be a lot nicerused to believe in a lot morenow I just see straight aheadthat's not to say I...

Track:The Absence of God
Yeah...this is the one...the one song I think I would like someone to sing to me...Jenny Lewis just has such a sincere delivery when she sings this song...love it...she would only have to sing this part:We could be daytime drunks if we wantedWe'd never get anything done that way babyAnd we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectivesAnd I'm not my perspectiveOr the lies I'll tell you every time

MOGstars: 9 out of TenAfter spending several years near the top of the indie tree, Rilo Kiley have dispensed with the cutesy folk of their previous incarnations, turning instead to the super-sexy sounds of new album, _Under the Blacklight_.The record starts in earnest with a stripped back beat and guitar combo, overlapped with the sultry vocals of every indie boy’s pin-up. Second track _Close C.

I've been reading 'Candy Girl: A Year In The Life Of An Unlikely Stripper' by Diablo Cody, who was just Oscar-nominated for writing 'Juno.' Like 'Juno,' the memoir is slangy, witty fun. Early on in the book, Cody offers an annotated list of The Ten Best Songs To Strip To. I'm not going to quote all her commentary, but here are the songs: Any hip-swiveling R&B fuckjam.
