I come by that statement by just looking at the avatars.When I browsed moggers (50 pages worth), sorted by most popular, cats appear in avatars 18 times, where dogs only appear 12 times. That's 1.63 cats to every dog. But still, it looks like cats are the big winner in the MOS.So, what are you? A cat person or a dog person?Honorable Mention Animal Avatars- several chimps, a camel (a dromedar...

Well my 3 1/2 day weekend is over. Lord it was crazy. There was so much varied experiences that it's all to much to explain. I had hoped to take pictures to illustrate but there was no time. This weekend was the craziest I've had in a while. To wrap up from my last post I've had this song stuck in my head all day. This is hands down my favorite Squeeze song. I know it's hokey but it's my...

I'm on the Glenn Tilbrook e-mail list, and this message arrived a few minutes ago:"Who'd have thought it? This year sees the start of the re-release campaign by Universal and Warners of the entire Squeeze back catalogue. These releases are something that Chris and I are really proud of and so in support of this, we have decided to do a limited amount of shows as Squeeze. All information about r...

Seems to me, (but then I tried to look today and couldn't find David Hyman's comment about it I think I'm remembering) that the New Version of MOG (2.75 or was it 3.75) was announce as going to be launched tomorrow. So, heads up all, strap in for a blast into a "deeper space". Personally, I'm hoping it doesn't involve some further commercialization of the site like the Rhapsody upgrade. Any...

I WAS in serious freak out mode for the last couple of days but i have made it to other side and i am now in coasting mode. All that could be done is done and what isn't just isn't going to get down now. I made a big dinner, people ate, there were no hysterics and it was smooth. I am now wrapping up the gifts to put under the tree and listening to some Squeeze. Glen Tilbrook relaxes me. It is s...

Sometimes there are bands that just give you warm fuzzies when you hear them. Squeeze is one of those bands for me. I used to listen to them a lot when I was in college...the first time around. Ahem. I heard Tempted the other day on a classic rock station, and when it came time to pick my music for listening tonight I decided to line them up in my playlist. It was a good choice. Two other...

I'm excited, Moggers - so excited that I think I've inadvertently been deleting my own posts. The reason for all these frenzied thrills at Chez Tel is the announcement that Squeeze are playing UK shows at the end of the year, the first time the dynamic duo of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have trod the boards together this century.There's a new compilation next month, to be followed by the r...

At number 13 Squeeze - Christmas DayChristmas Day was a holiday single released by Squeeze in 1979. The single was released only in the United Kingdom, and failed to chart, a major surprise since the band had had consecutive number two hits earlier that year. The song itself was not included on an album, but appeared between the releases of Cool for Cats and Argybargy.Mary and Joseph drove into...

What's cool for cats, is that a commercial on TV was triggering this tune in my mind's ear the last 2 months.I couldn't remember who did it or what it was called or any words, just the catchy melody.And only that TV ad slightly similar to the tune got me humming it, and then I'd forget how it went.What was I going to do, make a youtube video of me hummong it and call the clip "Does anyone know ...

There's not a lot of Squeeze on Mog. Like others, I've never been what you'd call a fan. But I've always quite liked them. Not sure why people are so lukewarm about them. But I guess they are quite low key and generally un-popstar-ish,Squeeze were 'local' and when I was 18 they were everywhere. In the park, in the pub, in the thrift shop. I remember Glenn bounding into the pub one weekday aft...

So at my job, I sell tickets. When I make a reservation, I take the customer's address and phone number.One day, several years ago, I took a reservation for a woman whose phone number happened to be 853-5937. On this particular day, the little voice in my head that stops me from saying stupid things must have gone out for coffee, because suddenly I was telling the woman, "Hey! Your phone num...
