Bob Moog the creator of the unmistakable sounding MOOG Oscillator Synth was featured in an interactive Google Doodle to celebrate his 78th Birthday today. Google impressed me a few weeks back when they featured NYC Disco artists Keith Harring a couple of weeks ago but this topped that with a pretty cool functioning Moog emulator that you can still check out HERE.

Also check out this Red Bull Music Lecture with Bob Moog from Capetown as he discusses a very interesting background on how he came about inventing the Moog and how it first taken up with musicians.

BBE Records: Keb Darge & Little Edith’s Legendary Wild Rockers 2

May 23, 2012 by Soul of Sydney

Up Coming Release: Here we are again, another dose of unsung heroes from the past. All the tunes on here (bar possibly the opening tune) will be well known by the rockabilly world. However to those of you who have recently become, or are about to be infatuated with this music you are now holding a compilation of some of the rarest and desirable tunes known to the serious collectors.

Little Edith and I have now left London, and are pushing this music in the clubs of South East Asia, and Japan. It was a thrill for an old codger like me to see how many youngsters in Britain were getting into this stuff, and other forms of good music before we emigrated. At last it seems the dominance of shite music is on it’s last legs.

Keb Darge, 2012

Get the release soon @ BBE
