Argh. It's been a long week and now Friday is approaching and I realize that I've only put up one post this week. That pisses me off because my backlog of awesome shit to put up is getting opressive again. I have to head out of town this weekend and I'm kind of throwing this post together just because I wanted to put something up, so it is super random, even for me.Faith No MoreAshes To Ashes (...
We've seen the signs the last couple of months or so: less posts in general, less comments on the posts that are made. A lack of interesting content all around. Technical glitches, missing posts, buttons that don't work. We've been gettin frustrated at these problems, and also at the PTB for various reasons. And many of us have decided that MOG is on its last legs. we've written our obitua...
The Toadies rock. Even if you dont know it. Its like Santa Claus. I mean, the guy is cracking a bullwhip inches over the tiny heads of elves making toys - yes still doing it in JUNE when you are running around on the beach in Cancun covered in henna tatoos, when Eggnog and is the LAST thing on your mind. For 364 days a year (365 this year) this man thinks about Furbys, because he is the ORIGINA...
Wow.Good show. The Toadies used DiscLive, who is actually pretty good for on the fly mixing, for immediate CD distribution of the show- I got mine in the mail today (DiscLive did this one well, although they sometimes err on the side of tinny in my opinion; love their "Burn Music Not Artists" tag). A solid show; jesus, what year is it? What a homecoming...
I was stuck in the wife's car last Friday again, so I dragged out my old cassette tape collection and popped in the Toadies album - "Rubberneck". They had a modest alternative rock hit with "Possum Kingdom." At the time, I didn't think much of the song when it came out, but my brother, Bill, who I was living with at the time, got the CD. Also at the time, I had a very loud CD player configurati...
He's not.OK.Just not.Allow me to justify this apparently very controversial statement.I want people to understand, I enjoy the White Stripes. I own a few of their records. I think Jack can write a catchy tune and is a very good song writer. I enjoy most of what I hear from them. I also think he has a brilliant mind for marketing. He's made an empire by creating a brand that is easily identi...
My best of 2008 list is out. Mine is obviously more credible than lists put out by Spin, Rolling Stone, NME, Q, or Pitchfork.However, I forgot to add some honorable mentions (links go to my reviews):Squarepusher: Just A Souvenir - Acid jazz on..well..acid as the DnB god shows that he can fucking ROCK a bass. Download The Glass Road now.The Fireman: Electric Arguments - So Paul McCartney and You...
