It says "To Brenden, Love Tricky"Robot Koch of Jahcoozi is one of the close friends of ISOA. Over the last two years a fair amount of people have been contacted, interviewed, visited, promoed etc for this blog (and the radio show The Spirit Of Albion) but very few people have come out as people I email for fun and keep a dialogue going with. Robot Koch is one of those people. I like messagin...

I recommend that you listen to this song and its slowly built up panic and rage while reading this...'The Catacombs of Paris or Catacombes de Paris are an underground ossuary in Paris, France. Most of Paris's larger churches once had their own cemeteries, but city growth and generations of dead began to overwhelm them. From the late seventeenth century, Paris's largest Les Innocents cemetery w...

'Cause this is just too hot to be tolerated under the covers. Yup. I've been enjoying the hell out of Tricky's new album (review to come soon) lately yum yum. Among the tracks, one can find a cover of Kylie Minogue's Slow. And it's hot. Layers of sexual vibes falling over you with no mercy or remorse. Best enjoyed loud. Mind the hotness! Original for measure (WARNING! Kylie Minogue and -mostly ...

Now he's got his own label, Brown Punk, which he formed with Chris Blackwell (of Island Records and Bob Marley fame) and an album of fresh tunes on the way. The new album is called Knowle West Boy, named after the Bristol hood he ...

It's been 5 years since his last release, but Tricky is preparing to work his downtempo magic on the music scene again, finally! The British producer was a household name in the 90's: he collaborated on the first 2 Massive Attack albums and created the definitive trip-hop album, Maxinquaye. His new LP, Knowle West Boy was largely self-produced, with additional production and mixing by Switch!...

Tom Waits doesn't often collaborate with others, but word got out that he wanted to work with Tricky.

Tricky told the press: "I can't ima...

The new Mog chat room has been a great addition to the Mogosphere. I've had some fun convos with other Moggers like GoodMusicOnly, Horse, Muttermieli, Mike, FlowerPower and everyone's favorite Britt. I thought this song title was a good one for this post! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be too many people in there the last bunch of times I've popped in. Most of my trusteds don't seem to fr...

I got a nice MOGmail about the shoes that have been my avatar for some time now, so I thought I'd share a little about them. After all, they are my default concert shoes, and always make nice conversation starters.(I know, I'm talking about shoes. I'm officially running out of content.)Back in '99, our family of four (Melissa was pregnant with Josh) was living in Longmont, about 15 miles northe...

The third single to be taken from last year’s album Knowle West Boy, Puppy Toy is an odd beast. It starts with a jazzy piano riff, over which Tricky’s gruff mumble arrives, followed by a thoughtful double-bass.It is a lovely start which is then transformed by rock guitar, drumming and some Mariah Carey like vocals. It is like sitting in a smoky jazz club, closing your eyes, soaking up the atmo
