Moggy-style
I've been doing this stuff for 6 Music, and - as well as the usual stuff like scouring blogs, downloading tunes, spanking millions on iTunes, that kind of thing - I've also been registering and re-acquainting myself with music communities. Returning to Last.fm, brilliant though it clearly is, I was struck by the sheer size of it. It takes time to wrap your brain around its functionality and, ultimately, its purpose. Mog is an alternative to Last.fm, and for its ease of use and relatively small, but welcoming, community I think it's something I'm going to stick with over Last.fm. It's a little more mischievous, a little less academic, a little more, I dunno - you'll see it when you visit - cosy. Like a ripped up couch that embraces you lwhen you plant your cheeks upon its tweed exterior.
