It looks like today is going to be a video-filled day. I keep finding brand new videos that haven't been posted on MOG, so I am about to share a slew of them with you! The first one is lovely - it's the first video I have seen from the new Suzanne Vega album Beauty and Crime. The song is "Frank and Ava" and the video is lovely. Unfortunately yahoo does not seem to have an embed option and t...

I love Suzanne Vega. She is my age, but that's not really why I love her. Her new single Frank and Ava from her new album Beauty and Crime is just perfect. Great lyrics, fun twangy guitar, her mellow, but sweetly cynical vocals. Who knew it was about Frank Sinatra and Ava Gabor? Here she performing it live, not such a great video but you get the jist.

First there were live concerts, then radio broadcasts of live concerts. Next there were TV broadcasts of live concerts, and then there were recordings of live concerts. With the widespread use of internet, came streaming concerts online, now with streaming video as well. Now, all of that has reached the next step. Virtual world Second Life is getting more and more "live" concerts. Suzanne ...

OK... first things first... here is what got us started on our trip to the most largest of apples, New York City. We hop on the turnpike to get stuck behind a truck transporting _Johnny on the Spots_, I'm getting ticked as this porting port o' John is _married_ to the car in the right lane, & barely moving though in the passing/fast lane. Mum turns to me & says, (I love this woman), "Lizzie, ...

Random youtube searches turn up the wildest things sometimes, is it me or is it meez?*Building Suzanne Vega's Guitar in Second Life*In August 2006, Suzanne Vega became the first major recording artist to perform live in Second Life avatar form. This forms part of a larger project sponsored by The Infinite Mind, a public radio show which has hired Infinite Vision Media to create a permanent pres...

With some albums, to fully enjoy them takes some extra knowledge that you have to acquire outside of the tracks and liner notes themselves. For example, Eric Clapton's "Layla" is a beautiful song, but it becomes something more when you learn that Clapton wrote it as a love song to his best friend's wife. Similarly, Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours contains all sorts of hidden messages sent by the ...
