The Wife's reaction (from her bed on the sofa): "I've got a fucking hangover, and a sick belly, but I'd jump around if I could, because I'm delighted Barack Obama won the election. To the people who voted for him, fair play for getting up off your arses and away from your computers for once to cast your vote. I would be very proud to be an American citizen right now. If anybody wants to give me a green card, contact me through Colin's mogmail. America, fuck yeah... MORE

One music blog celebrated the event of this past Tuesday by posting 14 different versions of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," and that only scratched the discographical surface, The song has, over the past four decades, become in effect the National Anthem of Soul, written, it's said, as a response to Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind," and released as a B-side of the posthumous single "Shake." "Shake" was Cooke's final Top 10 single; its flip side made it up to #3... MORE

Last week was the 40th anniversary of Otis Redding, along with six of his bandmate's death in plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin. After doing my write up about Otis, I figured it would be a shame to not follow up with the story of Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke has been accredited as many things: the most important soul singer (recognized by some to be the inventor of soul music), one of the first recording artists to attend to the business side of his music(he founded his own ...

If you were wondering where United States president-elect Barack Obama got inspiration for his acceptance speech, one need not look further than the lyrics to Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come." Change HAS come to America...and it's been a LONG time coming!
Just for good measure, I thought I'd throw in Otis Redding's version as well.

Real excited/cautiously optimistic about tonight. It seems unreal that its finally election day. Two years really in the making. Hopefully history will be made tonight. I voted this morning at 6:00 AM. Lets do this people. No song more fitting than Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come."

There are no shortage of A Change is Gonna Come covers. Some are better than others and given etymology of the track - Sam Cooke was reportedly inspired by Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind and his interaction with civil rights activists - it seems like an appropriate time to hear another. Cory Chisel’s version is pretty [...]

So while you're standing in line for what is being heralded as "The Most Important Election in American History", why not pull out the iPod and get yourself prepared for what would have to be, "The Most Important Vote in Your Life." Unfortunately for me I got my voting out of the way before work and there was no line, so sadly I couldn’t listen to my ideal voting playlist, but regardless, I’m going to post it here.

These songs are posted with limited commentary because a) you’re all ready and b) the songs say everything I could hope to. You’re ready for change. You can feel it in the air. There is a restlessness all around you, and you’re right there in it. I could barely sleep last [...]

How ironic that our song of the week is the sample for this new track from Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, and B.O.B.? I may be an oldhead, but I prefer the original. This works though. If you haven’t voted, make sure you do that ish tomorrow! Our voices must be heard! DOWNLOAD No Tags---Related Articles at Kevin|Nottingham: This [...]

I know that we all feel an impending sense of change. I'm definitely feeling it right on the cusp of this year. Good or bad something is going to change. It's inevitable! So I checked my songs of change to see what I might post. I'm not posting Tears For Fears or David Bowie but I really like these songs I'm posting. I might be a little awol for a week or two on Mog and I thought that I should share some tidbits of change for you all. The first two songs are poignan... MORE

It's almost not Sunday, so I best be getting my covers on. I got this in a whirlwind of downloading chaos a while back and didn't even realize I had it til I put my iPod on shuffle the other day. Sam Cooke is my favorite soul singer of all time and to hear one of my favorite bands of today cover him filled me with dread/fear/horror/relief/elation. The spare, almost a cappella version here reminds me of Cooke's Night Beat sessions. And now you can enjoy it before bedtim... MORE
