Todd Snider is coming out of the closet as a flaming "Peace Queer" on August 19th. He's loud, he's proud, he's here and he's a "Peace Queer." Normally when musicians get too political it annoys me. I just want to scream "Shut Up and Sing." However, somehow Todd Snider pulls it off using his humor and wit as a weapon. It just goes to show that there is no need to stand on a soapbox and pontifica...

- MUSIC REVIEWS If you knew nothing about Todd Snider or George W. Bush, and were to meet them both, you might think they were good friends, if not brothers. Both men flaunt a good-ol'-boy sense of social charm; both men have been known to laugh and joke around with drunken glee; both men have have appeared at times to be blindly fearless (and reckless) in their profession; and both men ar...

Of the eight songs on Peace Queer there is an instrumental, a recitation, a musical version of that recitation, and a cover. It's a bizarre record, mostly because of how incredibly unexpected it is after Snider's remarkable 2006 Devil You Know, but Snider really commits to the direction on Peace Queer and the result [...]

One need look no further than the title of his latest release to realize that Todd Snider has an eccentric personality. Peace Queer combines Snider's outspoken politics with his quirky sense of humor. His stark take on John Fogerty's "Fortunate Son" takes the song's anger to a deeper level. "As an International Peace Queer, [...]

Lazy MOGger alert: This is pasted from wikiworld: Best known for his wry humor, Snider has been a fixture on the Americana, alt-country, and folk scene since his debut on MCA, entitled Songs for the Daily Planet, named for the bar where Snider used to play regularly in Memphis. On that album were the minor hits "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues", a folk song about the early '90's grunge scene,...

Todd Snider has never attempted to mask his influence. This song is one of Snider's many which expresses a certain Dylan influence. It seems like someone owns everything these days....even the grass.

OK Moggers, here is another one of my lesser known favorite songwriters.

I love Saturdays because this particular day of the week has always been, in my mind, symbolic of freedom. Absolved of all greater duties, Saturdays bring joy to many children and adults alike. Mogland is no exception to this well-established societal norm; no one seems to attempt to pick a theme for Saturday posts. Perhaps this is due to the lack of motivation required to effectively dig up th...
