Jurassic Week, Day 5! We Break Now to Check In With Mojave 3

Posted at 7:47 AM on August 24, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

One of our favorite time-wasters is to look up a favorite band at the All Music Guide. A little-understood or acknowledged element of the online guide is their long list of "moods" that they attribute to every band. Today, with news that Mojave 3 will be touring the US in September, we wanted to apply All Music's mood-ring to the band. Here's how they describe the indie/alt country group:

  • Lazy
  • Pastoral
  • Melancholy
  • Earthy
  • Laid-Back/Mellow
  • Autumnal
  • Soothing
  • Reserved
  • Plaintive
  • Reflective
  • Somber

    • We're not sure the band would agree with that somewhat morose summary of their "mood," but we wanted to investigate deeper. What other bands does All Music consider lazy? Well, topping the list of pop music's greatest layabouts is—surprise—Jimmy "Margaritaville" Buffet! The Grateful Dead, Eddie Lang, Lazy Lester, Bob Marley, and Leon Redbone are also fit for hanging five in the hammock. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
