about

MOGO is the story of the world's laziest man.

This album took a live-on-the-air performance and added lots of overdubs and such

This album is dedicated to:
WMBR studios, at which it was largely recorded (why not listen to to 88.1 fm right now instead of this album?)
This album is also dedicated to
Nik Rodewald, without whom, this project certainly would not have come to any end at all.
This album is finally dedicated to
Becky, my little sister, for whom bottle was a lullaby for years.
