I love that you are obviously seeking the most obscure shit you can find. Moxy Fruvous is definitely one of those bands! CANCON made them stars here. At least, we all knew who they were, but somehow I always knew that wasn't making it further south than Toronto.
Keep it up, HG.

I wonder what would happen if Gramma spent an hour listening to an album he dislikes and writes a review? Do you think he would spend the rest of the day posting friendly comments like his wife does, or do you think he would be extra super pissed off? Either way, giving this guy an hour to explain how much he dislikes Mumford & Sons would be a pretty entertaining read.

Those of you waiting for me to turn into a huggy bear because StormyPinkness is here are gonna have a long wait. And those of you who think I'm going to spend even five more minutes listening to the hoedown from hell that is Mumford & Sons are just plain wrong.

I didn't think anyone thought you would turn into a huggy bear, regardless of the circumstances. I'm just friendly. |

Or Arcade Fire? Or dare I say... |

1/28/11Moxy Früvous - Bargainville Ohhhh, I love Moxy Fruvous! I practically grew up on them. My dad played them in the car all the time. Sad I never got to see them live because I was so young then.  I listen to Bargainville all the time still though. |

I really want HG to write about an Opeth album one day. Like one of the heavy ones.  |

Del Shannon - Runaway
A brief placeholder in honor of my birthday. Del Shannon's 'Runaway' is my favorite song. It is a perfect two and a half minutes of music, with a melody inspired by God himself and a vocal performance that will endure to the end of civilization. Many people mistake that celestial sound which you hear during the keyboard break to be a standard Farfisa organ; it is in fact an instrument called the Musitron, one of the earliest synthesizers, created by Max Crook, the soloist himself.
For me, it's all there: this song sounds like the music of its time, and yet stands alone even in the timeline of Billboard #1 songs. It required the kind of inspiration that drives a man to build a machine to be able to hear the sounds he needed to complete it, a tradition that only the greatest mad men in history participate in: Brian Eno, Bruce Haack, those pesky Residents.
'Runaway' has been stuck in my head for more than fifteen years. It plays constantly and it never goes away. I am okay with that. 'Runaway' is like my heartbeat, I couldn't imagine my life without it. You've all heard it a hundred times or more, but listen once more, and closely:
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. This is what my day will sound like. Off I go, see you rascals tomorrow.
