The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Moon Bog” by Oh Sees!!!

I have a feature to recognize a slice of good music: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day! 

Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/

I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my weekly “Theme Attic” show, Wednesdays, from 1PM-4PM ET!

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

If you’d like to know what I think are even better than the awesome songs, have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”:https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.

Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.

Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

Another moon cycle has been completed, so another #MoonTune is required.

This month, I have selected a song by a band that I can never figure out: Oh Sees!

They have released at least twenty-six albums since their beginning in 1997.

However, eighteen of those have been in the past twelve years under six variations of their name centered around the letters “O” and “C!”

“Moon Bog” is today’s choice from their 2018 album, Smote Reverser.”

The song’s lyrics sound like it’s about a dream/nightmare involving a mysterious figure.

It’s possible that “Moon Bog” is based on an H.P. Lovecraft story.

There’s an occasional marching snare drum rhythm that drives the song.

But the wickedly cool guitar solo is what gets my attention!

Other than that, I have no idea what “Moon Bog” is about.

One thing you can say about Oh Sees is that they are unpredictable yet always make interesting music!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “Moon Bog” by Oh Sees!!!
