On the Ramones' Greatest Hits Live, the world's first punk band trots out its classics ("Blitzkrieg Bop," "I Wanna Be Sedated," etc.) along with two new studio tracks: "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." and "Any Way You Want It."
What music has shocked you senseless lately? What did you hear that you never quite heard before? Did a song come along that made the hair on the back of your neck bristle from the thrill of it?I remember the first time I heard “Street Fighting Man” by the Rolling Stones, and “Eight Miles High” by the Byrds, and “Caroline, No” by the Beach Boys, and “I Thank You” by Sam & Dave, and

I'm not sure Dr.Spock recommends this, but right before bedtime we put on a little rock and roll show. My son says ,"turn out the lights and introduce me dad." Then he unveils his costume and lip-synch rocks out. In the past he's done some of his other favs like Donovan, but lately he's been asking for the Ramones. The phrase, "be careful what you wish for ,"comes to mind.

The other day I made a pit stop at a bar I don't regularly visit to get a couple of pints on the fly when, just as my first oat soda was served, a commercial flashed across the wall of TVs behind the bar. It featured slam-dancing soda pop cans who were partial to the classic Ramones tune "Blitzkrieg Bop.":http://rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=75817&si=rhino I thought: "somewhere, so...

Christmas Eve, as I was out with the boys running some last minute errands, I got the greatest thrill. My youngest son Josh was listening along to the mixtape (in CD format) in the car, and _singing along_. Wouldn't that just melt your heart? It did mine, especially on a very trying day otherwise.Thus, the idea for a final Christmas present was hatched. I spent that night figuring out songs tha...

I love this one.Has anyone seen the show Dexter? I really like this (it's just too early to tell for love).Sam's Town is pretty good. Over-hyped so I guess I expected more. Still good but apeing on The Boss is a little mixed. Silver metal effort that'll still go gold.Grizzly Bear is pretty damn awesome. Sleepy Shins-y, Band of Horses-y but probably even moreso. Less on the vox and more on the m...

Tomorrow is my last rabies shot! (For those of you who knew me in my previous Mog incarnation, you know the story. Woke up a month ago with a bat flying around my bedroom. Was shocked. Left the house. Drove around for hours till sunrise. The bat was never caught, so I had to start the shots. Tomorrow I end them!)It looks like I'm about to land a real big-girl job! (I've been hourly for the pas...

Note: this only applies to our members who actually still possess the physical media on which they collected their music.Since I've had enough CD...

Sunday 9 degrees. With the wind -25 degrees.Monday 10 degrees. With the wind -15 degrees.While this is not unheard of it is colder than normal. Heat is on all the time and my sinus' are killing me. Dried out, fried out and burned out. It seems like a perfect setting for being laid off last week. Left out in the cold and no warmth in sight.I have to give credit where credit is due. My swe...

The first thing I noticed when I went to Curves the other day was a song I recognized. I was on my little square, walking to the beat, when I reailzed I recognized the melody. Only, it wasn't the normal version that I was used to, it was the Curves-get-energized version. Yes, the Ramones would be proud to know that their hit I Wanna Be Sedated has now been turned into a dance song with the s...

Since today is "Punk Rock Tuesday" I think this is a good time to admit something to my fellow Moggers. I don't know a damn thing about punk music :(. Yeah, i've heard of the Ramones and a few older groups and I know enough not to respect what Avril Lavigne and Blink 182 passes off as punk, but I need some assistance. Where is a good starting point for my introduction to punk rock and what m...

I will try to get back on track by week's end.Day 8: The Ramones, "Beat on the Brat"I went to a private reform Jewish Day School in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where I was ridiculed by 10 year old girls who would become walking stereotypes of priveledge and entitlement. Even after two private middle schools and a public magnet high school, I could n...
