  Each Month, I start a file in my iTunes that is a playlist for the tunes that catch my ear that month. I have been doing this since Feb of 2006, and each month I write a Mog post covering what I have been listening to each month… I am starting to post this write up in other spaces beyond my Mog… cause I want to hit as many I-Balls as I can….. Anyway for this month here is what caught my ear… Pirate And Shotgun by Carolyn Mark http://www.carolynmark.com/ This is kinda a slower country/folk ballad. I had read about Carolyn Mark in No Depression and wanted to check out her stuff and found this track. It reminds of Alela Diane a bit Highway One by Dead Rock West http://www.deadrockwest.com Another No Depression find, there is just something about this tune, it’s kinda a 70’s country rock tune, only it’s got amazing soaring vocals and it rocks out in that classic rock hooky style. It’s also looking back and about history, which is something that I completely understand and dig. George Romero by The Sprites http://www.sprites.org.uk Anyone that has followed my on-line writing history should know that I am a sucker for a good horror punk tune, and this one is just right. It’s kinda poppy, kinda fun and light, but not so self-conscious that it becomes too much. Tiki Twist by The Voladoras http://www.myspace.com/voladoras I have to give it up for my Swedish friends and their delicious Garage Punk tune with just a hint of growled lounge in it…. you can download at their Myspace page… hint… hint Mr. Endicott By Uncle Monk http://www.unclemonk.com/home.html CBGB’s music from that last living original Ramone… that’s right Tommy has gone blues and country, and you know what it’s good… just listen… I like the nice clip-clop pace and that biting lyrics about having a awful boss.. This Time Tomorrow The Kinks http://www.thekinks.com Dear Wes Anderson, Thank you so much for introducing me to such a haunting, sublime, ear-worm of a pop tune. It’s thanks to guys like you that people are reminded how great of a band the Kinks were…. BTW: The Darjeeling Limited was also sublime, can you tell Roman Coppola that I dug CQ and hope that he has another film as good in him… Thanks Eric Dark Sun by Sally Timms & Jon Langford http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/ This tune came from somewhere, I don’t really quite know where, but I love the Dr. Strangelove and darkness underlying the upbeat cheery feel of this tune. I would love to hear Willie Nelson cover this… is that just a hint Metallica’s Sandman in this tune somewhere? South of Hideous by Forbidden Dimension http://www.myspace.com/forbiddendimension What more can I say about these guys… the best horror rock band of all time, and with a new album even… so what I like about this tune in particular is the opening, and the chorus and, and…well everything, My past play lists are linked to at www.mog.com/iren Until next time…. have a happy All Saints Day….
