I recently came across a couple of on-line analytic tools that might be of interest to MOGgies:
First, from something that bills itself as The Blog Readability Test, these analyses of the average readability levels of three of my favourite MOGgies: Mike the Knife:

ME:
And here, from another site, is a more detailed analysis of part of my recent post about the Moore's Ford Bridge lynchings (from "On July 25, 1946..." to "...of this lynching.") Notice that i... MORE

It's impressive how 'psychedelic' Pink Floyd were in ’67 and ‘68. A fish-eye lens, a couple of trinkets and the glass house at Kew Gardens could make you seem on the bleeding edge of NOW. The English have always had a penchant for a bit of foppery but Floyd raided the dressing-up box with serious intent. Has any band looked more stylishly in tune with the times? From Jon Savage’s ‘Punk Psych On 45’ compilation, here’s the US 45 rpm single of "Flaming". It won't tak... MORE

Don't get me started on Floyd's unreleased back catalog. Despite the existence of film scores, entire unheard concerts, studio experiments and songs that never made it to album, the Floyd people continue to dump pap on us like the recent "Oh, By The Way" boxed set: re-releasing, once again, the entire back catalog. The EMI people need to release a real Floyd rarities box, containing stuff like the early singles as well as the music they made for the underground film "The... MORE

As many of you know, at this year’s Coachella Music Festival, one of Roger Waters’ inflatable pigs freed herself from her harnesses and flew off into the desert night sky. Here’s a shot from that night taken by mogger Amber. (For those of you with access, you should really check out her pics from this set. Great stuff.) http://amberbarni.multiply.com/photos/album/102/When_Pigs_Fly_Roger_Waters_at_Coachella It is not the first time a Floyd pig has spread its wings... MORE

As a dyed-in-the-wool Apple "fanboi," I've been a huge fan of the iTunes store for several years. But recently, I've started buying from Amazon for several reasons, and thought I'd share a recent buying experience. I was shopping for Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon(the 1993 20th Anniversary remaster) this week. I checked iTunes, who wanted the standard album price, $9.99, which wasn't bad. While there, I also looked at The Wall and it was going for 25 bucks and cha... MORE

Roger Waters lost his pig and is asking for your help. If you live downwind of Coachella, keep and eye out for a gigantic pig. Seriously, this thing could be your ticket to a better life. "Safe return of the flying swine will bring a reward of $10,000 and four Coachella tickets for life," pig officials said. The synthetic swine was released during the song "Pigs," was scrawled with antiwar graffiti ("Don't be led to the slaughter") and an apparent Barack Obama endors... MORE

These quotes about reunions and reunion tours don't always turn out the way I want them to. I haven't heard anything about a Led Zeppelin reunion tour in awhile, despite quotes like "You never know what is around the corner" and "The amount of work that we put into the 02 [reunion concert]... was probably what you'd put into a world tour anyway." Said words usually just become words that get swept under the rug, but, geez, I mean if someone from Pink Floyd is suggesting ... MORE

A wealth of live recordings will be released from the BBC broadcast archives for the first time ever, thanks to a deal between BBC and EMI. While EMI continues to relieve record execs with one hand, it's picking up music catalogs with the other hand. This deal will make previously unreleased music from Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Coldplay, Lily Allen, David Bowie, Kylie Minogue and more available; EMI can even include this material as bonus tracks on their artists' album...

It's quite aggravating that the loss of Roger Water's inflated pig is getting more press than the show itself. (If you want to find out more about the pig's tragic end, read this: http://mog.com/Charley_Rogulewski/blog_post/159280?from=latest_newsThe focus should be on the epic, orgasmic (ehem), apocalyptic performance itself. I have experienced a hand-full of rare, cosmic, skin-prickling concert moments where a thousand eyes gaze either teary or dumb-struck at the icon on... MORE
