Here's a movie that had a soundtrack that was filled with good tunes which helped break a couple of bands to a wider US audience...I saw a copy of it in a store recently and it made me think of the film itself which I reviewed a while back...thought I'd throw it online, since the eZine I wrote it for bit the dust, here's the review and blah, blah, blah...In Garden State Andrew "Large" Largeman ...

...I got another one of those updates on upcoming concerts all those KCRW Presents concerts and I know I won't be peeping 'em all...note: there's a couple of additions on there so, if you're down with the beer-drenched goodness that getting your tunes straight from the tap, as I know most Moggers do, go check 'em, get sideways and tell the rest of us about the show...I know one I'd love to see...

I think there is plenty reason to postpone our trip to the west coast in order to hopefully attend The Vegoose Festival. Rage would be reason enough in my book but also Thievery Corporation. Completely different from one another and I love shows with a line up from different styles of music. Thievery will appear with their full live band on Saturday October 27th in Las Vegas, NV alongside su...

This ugly little player has cured my iPod envy. I can now return my wife's 30 GB iPod to her and retire my little 8GB Sansa Rhapsody. This has been out for awhile but turned up in the NY Times Circuits tech column recently.The beauty of this beast is wireless downloads for Rhapsody for "To Go" subscribers. It really works -- you can't be too far away from the wireless source, but I don't ha...

So I decided to gravitate away from the cover tune today and towards the Eighteenth Street Lounge or at least towards ESL Music and the Thievery Corporation's newest release: Radio Retaliation. This release is as intense as their previous albums (The Mirror Conspiracy and The Richest Man In Babylon topping my list of favorites). Seu Jorge, Sleepy Wonder, Notch, LouLou, Femi Kuti, Anushka Shan...

MOG is an interesting place, you alls.Most interesting is all the new music I've been introduced to in my few short weeks here. Band of Horses! French Kicks! Snow Patrol!But you know what? I am taking a step back for a second, and I'm going to play *this* song over and over. I am going to play it over and over until I find another song that reaches into my consciousness the way this one has. I ...

"Ayahuasca":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayahuasca is a psychotropic drug used in South America by shamans in religious ceremonies to induce transpersonal experiences. Some of the experiences sound wonderful (plants speaking directly to you, instant healing), some perhaps a little frightening (vomiting black snakes, and um, bug people)... but all are ultimately transformative. (Listen to th...

The Thievery Corporation hails from Washington, DC, the contemporary world's Babylon. They're the dub/acid jazz production duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton and The Richest Man in Babylon came out on their own label in 2002. The visual images are very much in sync with the band's political proclivities-- if not their beats (I'm still learning).

Today's song is one of my favorites from Thievery Corporation. It's the opening track from The Richest Man In Babylon. Thievery Corporation is a group I got turned on to in college (aka the glory days of downloading). Their The Mirror Conspiracy is one of my favorite albums and the first ringtone I ever bought was the song "Lebanese Blonde." Enjoy "Heaven's Gonna Burn Your Eyes" and have a ...
