SO, last weekend I was on top of my game and drunkenly told some girl that I had met(and subsequently promised my extra Raconteurs ticket to) that I thought her eyes were sort of beer-colored. Smooth, I know. And the fact that said girl still wanted to have ANYTHING to do with me after that debacle should have been my first clue that maybe she wasn't all there. But I am not so smart. So after wowing her with my beer analogy and other worldly charms, we exchanged phone nu... MORE

eleni mandell was a random find for me. just something i stumbled across in my journey through the maze-like tubes of the internets, but when i heard her, i felt like i just dug up some buried treasure. so soft and slow and sexy and perfect for a sunny, warm, sleepy sunday afternoon.

My first day of unemployment was a total success!

What to post as my first Mog? How about a question? I know you can answer this because if you didn't have these feelings you wouldn't be on MOG anyway.

I think I will just title my posts after long lyrics from this day forward. I do it a lot anyway, and I may as well do it all the time since I am constantly thinking in song lyrics anyway.

Think of Eleni Mandell on Country for True Lovers as a young Rickie Lee Jones with an alt-country twist, covering Merle Haggard and Irma Thomas. Needless to say, that one-sentence description is chock full of various different kinds of awesomeness, so you can take it as a hearty recommendation.
I'll have to check out her other albums, which are, from what I gather, more "alt" than "country." Tom Waits disciples are always worth a listen.
