Squeeze

I come by that statement by just looking at the avatars. When I browsed moggers (50 pages worth), sorted by most popular, cats appear in avatars 18 times, where dogs only appear 12 times. That's 1.63 cats to every dog. But still, it looks like cats are the big winner in the MOS. So, what are you? A cat person or a dog person? Honorable Mention Animal Avatars- several chimps, a camel (a dromedary, I think), a couple of schloopys and a white puffy thing I deemed neithe... MORE

A nice classic sad story song.

Again and again and again and again, do it again.

Seems to me, (but then I tried to look today and couldn't find David Hyman's comment about it I think I'm remembering) that the New Version of MOG (2.75 or was it 3.75) was announce as going to be launched tomorrow. So, heads up all, strap in for a blast into a "deeper space". Personally, I'm hoping it doesn't involve some further commercialization of the site like the Rhapsody upgrade. Anyway, guess we should all be ready to expect a few bugs and show some patience. The... MORE

At number 13 Squeeze - Christmas Day Christmas Day was a holiday single released by Squeeze in 1979. The single was released only in the United Kingdom, and failed to chart, a major surprise since the band had had consecutive number two hits earlier that year. The song itself was not included on an album, but appeared between the releases of Cool for Cats and Argybargy. Mary and Joseph drove into town, Searching for a place to stay. The moon was up, and his foot w... MORE

Glenn doesn't normally play drums - oh, those Brit pop stars and their whacky ways...

I went back up to the Upper East Side recently. There's something about that part of town around the holidays that always gets me nostalgic, being that I spent most of my life up there. While strolling around in the East 70s, I was instantly reminded of this song, thinking back to my grade school days prior to the advent of MTV. I vividly remember a Friday afternoon when my friend Rich and I went back to his place on East 96th street after school and flipped on the radio (som... MORE

So at my job, I sell tickets. When I make a reservation, I take the customer's address and phone number. One day, several years ago, I took a reservation for a woman whose phone number happened to be 853-5937. On this particular day, the little voice in my head that stops me from saying stupid things must have gone out for coffee, because suddenly I was telling the woman, "Hey! Your phone number is a song!" Now I'm betting y'all can guess the response I got. "Um... MORE

Well my 3 1/2 day weekend is over. Lord it was crazy. There was so much varied experiences that it's all to much to explain. I had hoped to take pictures to illustrate but there was no time. This weekend was the craziest I've had in a while. To wrap up from my last post I've had this song stuck in my head all day. This is hands down my favorite Squeeze song. I know it's hokey but it's my favorite. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Apparently Mog wasn't working ... MORE

There's not a lot of Squeeze on Mog. Like others, I've never been what you'd call a fan. But I've always quite liked them. Not sure why people are so lukewarm about them. But I guess they are quite low key and generally un-popstar-ish,
Squeeze were 'local' and when I was 18 they were everywhere. In the park, in the pub, in the thrift shop. I remember Glenn bounding into the pub one weekday afternoon with an old Cliff Richard single he'd found in the Oxfam shop (Three Coo... MORE

Chris Difford and Glen Tillbrook made impeccable pop music with Squeeze. I always enjoyed them back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Really tight tunes with a great pop sensibility. Pulling Muscles From A Shell, Another Nail In My Heart, Tempted, Black Coffee in Bed. They had a string of really, really great tunes. I kind of lost track as the 80’s moved into the 90’s. A few years back I saw Glen Tillbrook at the Downtown in Farmingdale. It was just him and an acous... MORE
