Hi everyone! Sorry that I've not been posting much, but new responsibilities at work have managed to suck away the spare time it takes me to think of things to say. You know, because you guys deserve to not have to read something tossed-off, just so I can say that I posted something.The last two days, in order to try to shake the musical doldrums some more, I've made an effort to listen to albu...

It was a big day yesterday for MOG, Starting with Berlin, Lou Reed’s concert film. It’s simple and raw, filmed from an audience perspective during a 5-night 2006 residency at Brooklyn’s St. Ann Warehouse. But most of all it’s LOUD, drawing the audience into the emotions around the former Velvet Underground frontman’s 1973 concept album. In the film, designed and directed by esteemed film

Honestly, this was the first time I had listened to the Black Angels - I mean, who can resist an entire album stream pre-release? Here it is, if you'd like to hear it too: the "long-awaited" new Black Angels album Directions to See a Ghost:I dig the spacey psychedelic guitar sound, like a cross between Spectrum, Earth and Neurosis or something...The album is available digitally starting April ...

I kind of, sort of thought that Alex Maas of the Black Angels sounded a bit like Jim Morrison, now I think he is almost imitating him. That being said...i still really like this new record.

Christian Bland of The Black Angels recently mentioned that rehearsals for the upcoming Black Angels/Roky Erickson tour have begun, and we can hardly wait for the shows to begin. The Black Angels will not only open up for this renowned godfather of psych-rock, but will also stand-in as his rhythm section. The two bands will play one show in Dallas and then break, before heading to Seattle to be...

I'm hoping these guys put on a good show this coming Friday at Asheville's Orange Peel because I've got a ticket and what better way to celebrate the 4th with some good old fashioned rock and roll? These guys sound like a darker version of The Doors to me and I only just discovered them a couple months ago so this will be the first time I've seen them. This is a track from their latest album Di...

More Black Angels as they score this film trailer for "At War" . I'm posting this not as a supporter or opponent of war, but as a way to help show the harsh realities of it....From the Website:At War is a documentary film shot and directed by Scott Kesterson, who spent a year embedded with US forces in Afghanistan. The film is produced by David Leeson, Pulitzer Prize recipient and currently Sen...

The Psycadelic of Yesteryear met with the Psychadelic of today when Blue Cheer and The Black Angels played together last night at Emo's indoors (ahhhhhhh, air conditioning). The Angels played a short set with a few songs that are not on their Light In The Attic debut, Passover. They added a second drummer for some songs( A la The Warlocks) and a harmonica player on another. The band is great li...

Nope, no jokes or bad pun headline here. Just thought I'd point out to everyon tht you can, as of about a week ago, go to your finer local record store and preorder the new album by the several-kinds-of-awesome Black Angels and they will give you a little postcard wth instructions to immediately download the whole thing online a month before the physical release date. You'll also get an additio...

Last night’s Black Angels show was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. You’d be hard pressed to find a better psychedelic rock band today. And don’t be quick to dismiss them as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on a few more hits, because The Black Angels are in a class of their own, giving life to a genre that has been fairly underground for years. If you’re a fan of bands like Sp
