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...

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've been hourly for the pas...

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...

On Saturday, I had the experience of a lifetime. I got to sit in the penalty box at Staples Center while the Los Angeles Kings and the Minnesota Wild had their pre-game skate. There is nothing like being eye level with the players, as they come racing toward you before gliding past or stopping swiftly. It is as live as it gets. Top that with being on the ground floor of Staples Center and r...
