Before any show there must be eats. We did that at Frjtz on Valencia to fuel up on fried stuff and killer sandwiches. The wife and I finished our meal and headed towards the GAMH to meet up with D. We were there early enough to be the first in line so we grabbed our tickets and headed straight in. D told me he had called MattP to put us down on "the list" and we were able to grab Chris the ...
Yeah I said it, Al and all his talk about global warming is nothing more than a bunch of lies as far as I am concerned. Actually, I am a firm believer in global warming but seeing the snow come down for the last 15 hours makes me wish it had more of an effect on the current weather conditions in Minnesota. I guess we are having a blizzard that will rank in the top 5 snow storms of all time for ...
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a notice from WXPN offering up a free Matt Pond PA/Jesca Houp show... I didn't wait to get a concert buddy. A free show means I will find someone or I will go it alone... "*+blair+*":http://mog.com/satisfiedmind2 's jet was in the shop, "+*jameson*+":http://mog.com/jameson was otherwise engaged (heh) & "*+Katrina+*":http://mog.com/kat3260 was partying Hal...
Busy day over here, found myself shoveling the snow storm I did not think we were going to get pretty much all day. In addition, got to shovel my neighbors who are on vacation in Florida, as well as the elderly couple who lives next to them. There was enough snow that I had to go out twice, and killed the battery on my Ipod 15 minutes into my second shift. As I sit here at 11:30, the snow conti...
All right, I get it! Its warm were a lot of you live, actually quite beautiful from the pictures I have been seeing. No I don't hate you, actually I am rather envious. While I will be the first person to defend Minnesota and its cold temperatures, on days like today I would kill for sun and warmth. Today it was 20 below with the wind-chill, and now it is snowing. I stayed inside for most of the...
LONG day...lots of nieces and nephews...lots of dogs....lots of family related craziness....mostly good.This song seems perfect for a sleepy Sunday night....
Autumn is the only time of year Matt Pond PA should release new music. Their records all just sound like autumn...and I mean that in the best possible way.Here is on from the album that I can't stop playing, 'Last Light'
Right... here's the thing... this guy's artwork is, in a word, *brilliant*. *John Mavroudis* finds ways to tug at me in countless directions with each of his pieces. The bitter with the sweet, ancient with future. *BONUS - HE'S A REALLY COOL GUY !!!!*& for me, there is nothing better than an artist with a skewed view of life - one that many will appreciate... & that's where you come in, kidd...
I always knew that my sweet tooth would be the death of me, I just had no idea how soon. The weapon came all the way from Greece and it was almost too pretty to open, tied with an orange bow (my favorite color, though she couldn't have known that!) I guess if she had to kill me, it was kind of Anna to put me in a sugar coma first. Here's the super sweet mix that did it:Caramel Prisoner - AirJu...
It only seems right that I should start mogging with something related to my favorite band, Matt Pond PA. I could rant forever about how much I enjoy them and how fabulous they are live (I've seen them 3 times here in State College), but I will save that for another day. What I do want to share today is (possibly) news! This news is bittersweet for me. The Sweet Part: After recently returni...
While his collaborators may have changed since the group's beginnings in the late '90's in Philadelphia to its current Brooklyn-based line-up, Matt Pond remains solidly at the heart of the ever-evolving group that bears his name, Matt Pond PA. At their very best, the band's hook-laden tracks sparkle with a lean indie-pop clarity.As work continues on the next full-length release, the group has r...
I have a new hobby. I have become addicted to searching editing histories on Wikipedia for vandalism. Hilarious vandalism. Does anyone else do this?? For me, it all started because someone claimed Ingrid Michaelson is openly gay, which isnt true. So then I started to look around. There are some really crazy ones, but this is the strangest i found because it about my favorite band, matt pond ...
