It should be a national holiday.

Celebrating the birth of one of America's greatest composers. Happy Birthday John Coltrane!

Rad Dutch TV LA Punk Doc!

My favorite website, Dangerous Minds, recently featured this totally amazing Dutch documentary on LA Punk - which as you may know is like my all time favorite subject, so I have to share it. Enjoy!

Happy Friday the 13th!

Mo's Outer Limits Mix 

Okay, like a lot of you (most of you) I watched a ton of horror movies growing up and since Halloween is fast approaching, let's just say I got stuck in a spooky mindset.

Picture a twisted sonic love story.

A happy song can take on new meaning when paired with a scare the living daylights out of you scene. This was the catalyst behind the mix; a tribute to all those late nights spent sitting in the dark with nothing but the glow of terror to guide me, its beacon-like flicker radiating outward from my parents wood-paneled-swivel-based-monster-of-a-television, and into my brain.

Some of the songs were taken from records. Remember those? You'll hear imperfections: the snaps, the crackles, and the pops. I think that's kind of cool though, considering this is supposed to be a 'spooky' mix. 13 tracks. Special for you.

Enjoy, or else...
