MOG MOG

THE MUSIC BLOGGING NETWORK

(126)

By Daniel Plainview

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have trawled over half our internet to bring you these songs this evening.

Where did I find these songs?

Well, let's say you have a mp3blog and I have a Mog Page. I have a straw and my straw reaches accccrrrrooooossssss the internet and starts to drink your songs.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!

That's where I found these songs. They're some of the finest tracks in all October.

 

Click below for a geyser to pore forth:

 

1.  Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (NEXT BIG THING)
It is such an irony of fate, boy. My top gusher of the month features the lyrics, "We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it/Always pushing up the hill, searching for the thrill of it".

You see, I too push up the hill and search for the thrill of it.  The thrill of what, you ask? Oil, boy. Oil!

Of course, if these melodic Australian electro-poppers think they can push up MY hill, searching for MY thrill, well…that makes them my competitors.

And you know what that means, don't you, boy? I will EAT THEM UP!


2.    Vampire Weekend  - Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac) (BEST COVER VERSION)
The Ivy League afrobeat combo stay in the public eye with an admirable rendition of a 70s classic.

Yet this is not the real thing.

It is a bastard. A BASTARD FROM A BASKET. A BASTARD FROM A BASKET!

Having said that, I am quite looking forward to the Vampire's next LP.

3.    Cate Lebon  - No one can drag me down (COUNTRY SONG)
The singing game is like heaven. Everyone is called but few are chosen. This forlorn-voiced chanteuse, fresh from a world tour with Neon Neon, is one of the celestially selected.

No one can drag her down. Or myself for that matter.

All I need is a strong, expensive meal. Two steaks. Whiskey. Water.

And goat's milk for the boy.

4.    The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition (BEST ROCK )

I am a sinner, I want the blood, and I abandoned my child. I ABANDONED MY CHILD

Other than that, this song could have been written for me.

5.    Little Comets - One Night In October  (BEST INDIE)
These hairy-headed young urchins from Newcastle make quite a racket.

Good for them.

In my day, they would've been put down the mine.

6.    Grace Jones  - Williams Blood (Aeroplane)  (JOINT BEST REMIX)
As I said to my preacher friend Eli the other day, "I am the third revelation! I am who the lord has chosen! Because I'm smarter than you! I am older and wiser and I am not a false prophet, you sniveling boy, you're done for!"

This has a similar gospel-y feel.

7.    Friendly Fires  - Paris (Aeroplane) (BEST REMIX)
More black gold from Aeroplane. This time they remix a pretty love song about a French girl looking for a French boy. Yet…

…my cock doesn’t even work. How am I gonna make a kid?

Does yours work?

Answer the question.

8.    TracknField – Marathon (BEST HOUSE TUNE)

No, it is not the "indie" music you so crave. It is lush house from Finland. 

OH STOP CRYING YOU SNIVELING ASS.

I am finished.

God, Daniel Day Lewis really does need to play an FM DJ in a movie!  Hysterical!  I got uncomfortable all over again with the "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!" 

Even though DDL has convincingly sold us on being DDL playing character X in all his movies (in other words creating his own style, ike Jack Nicholson), you gotta wonder if writers are just writing things the want to hear him say.  Kinda like all the Christopher Walken impressions out there..

Nice mix. That Walking on a Dream is a pretty addictive tune.

By the way, I had an ice tea so I have no idea whose milkshake you were drinking.

@ Anna - There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking, I want to earn enough money that I can get away from everyone...I mean, thanx, sweetie! xox

@ Tyler - I had planned to build a wonderful school in Little Boston, but I'm willing blow it off to become an FM DJ. Where do I sign?

@ Cody - Randy, eh? I do my own drilling if that's what you mean.

@ DC - Indeed it is an addictive tune. I would have brought it to you sooner, only my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it.

I will DRINK UP YOUR ICE TEA (when you're not looking).

@ Ms. 5000 - My well in the Coyote Hills is now paying me an income of 5000 dollars a week. Your unusual surname has reminded me of that fact. Thank you for visiting, ma'm.

"Laughing my lungs out" Beautiful imagery, Poe.

I loooovvvvve that Temper Trap song. Plainvew hasn't just got a good eye for oil, let me tell you.

Speak to me like I'm a dog, will ya, eh? In that case I'll talk to you like you're a parrot or something (inspired just a smidgeon by your new avatar) WHO'S A PRETTY GIRL THEN! WHO IS?! WHO IS?!
