Its almost been a year since I left MOG, found myself a working mans job and felt I had to focus all my attention to the students in my room. I left MOG unemployed, and am coming back a fourth grade teacher. As the end of the school year is approaching I know I am going to have to have something to fill my time. While I was teaching I spent the majority of my nights journaling, something I had not done in quite sometime. Now with the end of school just two days away, I am ... MORE
in order to have white stripes, you gotta have something for the white to alternate with. the "White" in the White Stripes seems to be (i mean, besides a reference to the name of its band members... i'm working metaphorically here, people... or person... whatever) the rompin'-footstompin' and minor guitar heroics of songs like Hotel Yorba and Seven Nation Army. the unmentioned other stripes peeks out a few times every album, but doesn't get the radio play or even much of a...

September 13: The White Stripes, "Hotel Yorba" So even though I've fallen behind on the project, I've had an interesting past few days. After seeing Jon Spencer in concert on Friday and recovering from that and sickness throughout the weekend, I'm currently visiting a friend in Wausau, Wisconsin, about 2 and a half hours north of Madison. It's not something I'm used to. I've been in Wisconsin once before to visit family (and Packers royalty) in Green Bay, and for a neuro... MORE
Last night I sat on my ass until about 9 p.m. and then remembered I needed dog food. So I got myself together to leave the house and this would be when I picked up my cell phone. I had missed a call at about 7 p.m. It was from my friend Davanna saying, "Sorry this is last minute, but if you want to go see the White Stripes tonight, I've got an extra ticket." So instead of watching a re-run of Beauty and the Geek, I could have been watching the White Stripes! I suck b... MORE
Hey thanks all for your words of encouragement this weekend. Much love to all Moggers. I had a minor freakout this weekend. Things are tough but they could be worse. I'm going to try to spruce up the ol' FS Mog with some more tunes. Thanks for everyone for your support. This song is for you Moggers. I like songs about friends.
After this night I was speechless... Basically this concert rates as the best I have EVER been to! And that's up against a list of contenders such as; The Strokes, The Dandy Warhols, Interpol and The Vines.In short The White Stripes have enough energy and power to suck even the latecomers into their world of enigmatic rock stylings. The night started off with mod rockers The Greenhornes (also Big Day Out performers), who got the crowd going back to the 60s, especially wi... MORE
The song is not romantic in any way, and for me that is the bulk of its charm. In the relationship pictured in the song and video, there is no currency of sex or a child’s idea of physical love and all of its trappings exchanged or the expectation of a future exchange. All these two want from each other is the company of a playmate to stare slack-jawed with at the tiny wonders in their world. To compare notes on what they find in order to form a better holistic understandi... MORE
Now I know I've already posted my fair share of mogs in one day, but hey, what can I say? I'm loving this site. It's wonderfully simple to jump into and feel involved in. Plus a lot of these mogs are making me think a lot more about music and I can actually get responses to questions I'm curious about, so I guess this sites doing it's job very well. That being said... I've never been a big White Stripes fan. But this song is probably one of my favorite songs I've heard i... MORE
Last night, my mom finally sat me down and made me watch the classic Orson Welles movie "Citizen Kane", which is based off of the life of newspaper giant William Randolph Hearst. It is an amazing film. I highly recommend it to everyone. It's powerful and the ending knocked me right out. But one part stuck with me because I remembered it from somewhere: Charles Foster Kane is fighting with his wife, Susan Alexander, in a tent while camping with many other people. As they f...
