Ever since I learned of their existence, I was fascinated by the romance of the pirate radio stations that were located on ships anchored off the coast of England in the 1960s. So I was overjoyed to learn that Richard Curtis - screenwriter/director of such pleasing Anglo rom-coms as "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill" - was rolling out "Pirate Radio," a comedic movie tribute to the...

The Scene Club in Ham Yard, Soho was thought of by many as Mod Central. It wasn't a hugely popular place filled to bursting with people, but more of an underground club where only the top mods hung out, and the whole mod style was created.

Gang of Four? Desired.Starting this week, all my Sex Pistols, Iggy/Stooges and Who 45s are getting listed. Original pressing Sex Pistols with picture sleeves. A Bomp EP and rare French fan 45 on Ig...

Following the lead of currently prolific fellow MOGger Groon, I'm gonna do what comes naturally - and spill a bit more about myself on my page. Forgive what might seem like an ego out of control. All statements are true and verifiable. Only the names have been eliminated to protect the guilty.Of course, I love music. Who here doesn't? And I'm on board with any and all varieties, as long as the ...

I finally got caught up on my emails, and needless to say it was an all day event. Page after page I went through, and a question popped into my head. Why did you chose the mog name that you did? I have gotten to know quite a few of you by your "real" names over the past few months, but a lot of you have screen names that make me wonder why did you choose that? I will go first on this one and e...

The Who is rolling out a 9-song set list of never seen before video. Each week at the end of the week the band will air the footage to Who fan club members via their official Web site. Last week the track was "Mary Anne with the Shaky Hands." This week it's "Baba O'Riley." We couldn't get our hands on either, as they're not posted on YouTube and it takes a little extra cha-ching to join. Let us...
