To continue on from cool videos sent from Aaron, we also got one of Josh recently at his open mic night doing Frontline acoustic. One word: WOW! I was expecting it to be more footage from the Moods on New Years Eve. Frontline is not a song I'd even imagine acoustic, but this version is unbelievably haunting!

Not that it isn't one of my favorite Black Moods songs anyway, but god this is good!

Make It Last

And Random Thoughts On Blogging

So the other night I ended up reading through a whole bunch of old blogs, which typically whenever I do, I think about how, in retrospect, the blogging thing is so cool. Why? Because there is a whole bunch of shit I always forget about. A lot of things were a trip out - like remembering that in Mexico was the first time I'd had a taco. Which seems bizarre, given how these days it's rare to go a week without having tacos. Or to discover that I've actual heard The Last Exit, since the Moods played it when I saw them in 2006. Being reminded of Bobby Scott joining the Moods that night, and wondering whether the songs they did were to be Violet Wild songs (which frustratingly, I have no way of remembering).

The latest occurance of this, only a few days later, comes from Aaron sending us some more Johnson videos. To my delight, the latest being Better Beautiful Than Perfect. Have a version of that to put on my iPod is freaking awesome. But that is actually beside the point, isn't it? Yes, yes it is. This prompted Katie to question whether I'd seen Scotty do this live before, which of course I have! This prompted me to revisit Rock 'n Roll - The Jet Lag Cure to confirm whether it was the first night that I saw Scotty do it. The blog post doesn't say, although I'm confident that he did it that night. However, reading through this blog, the following was very interesting:

Which reminds me, that on one of the last songs with Troy (Make It Last Forever, possibly), Scott played a kick ass solo, with killer harmonics
Wow! When the record came out, I had an influx of questions about Make It Last for Katie, which immediately became arguably my favorite song on the record, particularly questioning whether it was a new song. Katie was sure I'd heard it before, and I was (and have been to this day) been sure that I hadn't until the record came out. But what do you know!

Thank you to my blog, settling Mark & Katie arguments all over the place (though, sadly never in my favor!)
