Hey MOGites... Gotta get a song out into the MOGoSPHERE... gots some friends in need & having a rough go of it of late & I want them to know I am always here. This is a song that has been with me for so long - since high school when it came out, I still remember the day I purchased it & I remember the store - couldn't tell you what I was wearing - but I must have looked ravishingly gorgeous ;)...

This album is quiet like Nick Drake. It's early morning music, stripped down, acoustic based confessional style music. The chamber style arrangement fit well with Glenn Philips shaky, unsure, young vocal style. This album was recorded before they hit it big. And it shows.

Another week down, and it is time for another song of the week. This week is one of my favorites, "Crazy Life" by Toad the Wet Sprocket. This was their last single they released before the band disbanded in 1998.
