1. Patti Smith, "Ask the Angels." Lots of New York Punk on this list, each track different. Patti was the poet laureate, a great live performer, and a bit crazy. Her band was learning how to play, and in their case, the move was useful.
2. Ramones, "Judy Is a Punk." Speaking of learning how to play, the video link here is astounding.
3. Joan Armatrading, "Love and Affection." The Ramones pretended to never grow up. Joan Armatrading never sounded like anything BUT a grownu... MORE

So today's song is another kind of surreal audio horror movie. The verses depict a spooky apocalypse, complete with shivering angels, fat ladies, and Catholic schoolgirls. All of this apocalyptic horror is brought about by, naturally, Joan Crawford rising from the grave. My favorite part is the whispered "Christinnnna.....mother's home...." part. Sadly, I don't have this in MP3 format, so I'll have to embed the incredibly horrible, ill-conceieved video. The song is creepy... MORE

Ok, this is my first post on MOG. I have to admit that it is a great place to find great new music. Lately I have been getting into the old classic rock faze of things. I guess I’m just kinda sick of all this techno indie pop crap. I can understand why people enjoy stuff like Animal Collective, or Sufjan Stevens. I like it from time to time myself but it just gets old. In my opinion I think indie rock is the best thing for the music industry because it constantly keeps music ... MORE

Summer’s End
(12)
On the bounce. After flying into San Francisco from LAX on Thursday, I headed to Monterey on Friday to visit family. On Monday, it’s back to San Fran, and on Tuesday, it’s Los Angeles again – and the marvelous mayhem of the movie biz. But for now, I’m cooling off in Monterey, California – home to the justly celebrated Monterey International Pop Music Festival, the watershed concert event that ran from June 16 to June 18, 1967 and forever changed the world of rock and roll dur...

I have a set of web pages and blogs that I visit when ever I sit down at the computer. Some of them are music related (any mog is often my first stop after looking at e-mail... really most of the time it's while looking at e-mail), some of them are news, or things like my Netflix queue. one of my other regular stops is The Seven Deadly Sinners art blog... where one of my all time fave artists Tomb posts stuff. Today he graced us with this gig poster
which first of all ... MORE

I realized that there had been too many credible, quality songs tracks in my posts lately, so I figured a slice of cheese might loosen things up. How about Blue Oyster Cult's 1983 jam, "Take Me Away"? Great video weird guys with dark makeup under their eyes, wearing Obi Wan Kenobi outfits try to kidnap aging hairy metal band members, and random hot fur coat wearing chicks, taking them to another planet in the back of a WWII fighter plane. Boss!
(Oh, and what chick magnet... MORE

if someone were to ask me on the spot "what is the greatest song ever written?" i would immediately reply "(don't fear) the reaper". this is if i were to give my answer zero thought. if i were to my answer any thought what so ever, my answer would be something completely different. in fact, if i were to put any thought into this (don't fear) the reaper wouldnt even be considered in the running.
however,
mojo ranked the song 80 in the 100 greatest singles of all time
