The Mog Salon Mix: Send in Your Suggestions!

Posted about 4 years ago
I have a friend who owns a salon in Palo Alto and she loves playing her favorite cds for background music. I volunteered to help her put together some mixes for the salon with a mixture of upbeat, dancey, hip, sometimes mellow, sometimes 80's, and lots of mog. That's right...I am going to make her a mog mix. Right now she is playing everything from Rilo Kiley to Ministry (from her mod days) to Thievery Corp. A great mixture of stuff, but she keeps telling me that there are times when she needs more new music. Seriously 9+ hours of some of the same cds can get old in a weeks time.Here's where you guys get involved, I am going to put together several mixes for her and I need your suggestions. I will put your mog identity right next to the song when I make her playlists...and that's only if you want me to. This is going to be fun and I can't wait to hear all the awesome suggestions! Make more than 1 suggestion if you want, actually please do! I am looking for everything as well...slowcore to techno! It's up to you!

    AA Coppertop says Off the top of my head, I recommend loading up on the Serge Gainsbourg, Pizzicato 5, and Burt Bacharach. Very suave and fun.

    Dale says I assume you're looking for more than the oh-so-obvious "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement. See, this is tricky: what music would I want to hear at a salon, that wouldn't cause mu head to spasm of its own accord, thereby ruining my haircut? I must ponder this. I'll be back.

    dachmo says A favourite opener of mine is from Slint's "Spiderland" album. I figure if she's playing Ministry in the store then her customers can handle this as well. ~NXTylM6LGsW.mp3~
