Progressive Obsessive
Ready for a vigorous, one-hour mix of progressive rock you can actually walk and jog along to? Progressive Obsessive is this week’s wog. It features rhythmically consistent music from Pink Floyd, Rush, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Kansas, and Alan Parsons Project, as well as the lesser-known Saga, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, and FM. You’ll find no endless noodling or instrumental pyrotechnics here, but they all feature clever guitar and keyboards. Not obsessed yet? Check out the playlist at Pogwogging.com!

What a Rush
Mixing intricate beats, pounding bass, ringing guitars, introspective lyrics, lush melodies, and Geddy Lee’s distinctive vocals, Rush has proven to be a true rock institution for the last thirty-odd years. This week’s wog features an hour of Rush, starting with Presto’s Show Don’t Tell and finishing with the anthemic Tom Sawyer from Moving Pictures. This is a Vigorous ÜberWog, so in addition to slower numbers you’ll find infectious joggers like Subdivisions and Between the Wheels. So what’s the Rush? Find out at Podwogging.com.

REGIME CHANGE
If you’re like me, this election is shaping up to be one of the most significant changes in my lifetime. Not since forever has a presidential candidate actually spoken to pressing needs, with such panache and vision. So go out and vote for Ralph Nader!
Kidding.
Seriously, assuming the right wing vampires don’t suck the blood out of every American voter, the Big O will take office in January with a huge mandate. A mandate that’s been years in the making, and has been celebrated in song since the early days of Dylan. As befits such a marathon, this week’s Wog, Regime Change, is a Wog-a-Thon*. It’s 78 minutes of songs from such sources as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Midnight Oil, Tracy Chapman, and Bob Marley. A few lesser-knowns also get into the act: Pearls Before Swine, Hothouse Flowers. Even Steve Miller (yes, that Steve Miller). Not to mention Stevie Wonder, the Animals, the Stones, U2, Rush, Karan Casey, and that old anti-war chestnut (unh!) by Edwin Starr. So what are you waiting for? Raise your fist and give Change a Shout-out on your way to the polls tomorrow.

*A Wog-a-Thon is split into “sub-thons,” shorter sequences if you don’t want to do the whole thing at once. Alternatively, you can skip songs in the sequence, since the pace pattern always follows a slow-medium-fast-medium-slow-medium-fast-medium, etc. pattern.
