  Jim Moginie and the Family Dog - Gig Reviews - Music - Entertainment
But as an inventive guitarist who could be as lyrical as he was powerful and as a writer who found ways to channel everything from post-punk drive to the silence of a desert night, he was one of the (hidden) cornerstones of a band which never dropped its standards.
Musically, being of the moment has never been a worry for Moginie so we won't be seeing him backed by a 19-year-old DJ or borrowing a soap star to sing the choruses.
Typically, the self-effacing Moginie sees the solo work as part of helping him with his other gig, the studio producer, where he gets to be Sideshow Bob again rather than Krusty the frontman.

 (BEAT) : Jim Moginie, 'Alas Folkloric'
Jim Moginie’s near anonymous stage personality betrayed the depth of his influence on the evolution of Midnight Oil from a bunch of Whitlam-era young lefties to a national cultural icon.
As with much of the folk genre, Moginie is happy to wear his bleeding heart on his sleeve.
Somehow it’s more plausible to think that Moginie was always a folkie, but he just happened to be shoe-horned into the caustic sounds of pub rock.

 Essays
It was the close of the "era of the star guitar player," according to Moginie, as his influences moved from rock stalwarts like Creedence Clearwater Revival and Led Zeppelin to the white-hot punk of the Sex Pistols and the Clash.
That spark is evident on "Bushfire" where Moginie fingers a Dobro while Rotsey waves his magic wah during the solo and outro sections.
When not strumming an acoustic instrument, Moginie plays a customized '60s Gibson SG or a '70s Gretsch, and plugs into a Marshall JCM900 amp, sometimes relying on a Boogie Coliseum for studio work.

This album has come together over the past few years and even includes songs which were written for Midnight Oil but didn't make it onto CD.

 X-Press Online: JIM MOGINIE Alas In Wonderland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
For Moginie the question centered around whether he felt he had anything left to give, and not around the thought of what he was going to get out of the business.
Although Moginie has not consciously shied away from making an overly political record, he acknowledges that this album is just a collection of songs from the past few years – some very personal, some with a more political bent.
Moginie is proud of Alas Folkloric as he sees it as an album that is a handmade and homespun, personal and gentle and in no way is it ‘missionary position rock’.

Jim Moginie: We had Chris Abrahams playing piano and organ with us, and a percussionist, and Charlie McMahon played a bit of didge, so it was a bit of a potpourri of sounds and things, it was good.
Jim Moginie: The good thing about the acoustic thing, I mean it did get really overworked, in the Unplugged mode and everyone, his cat and his dog was doing an unplugged album a few years back, but I think for us it's, this whole thing's a discovery.
And it started with Martin and Jim, you know, at the front playing the intro on acoustics, and then one by one the rest of us would sort of, just drift on as if we were just passing through.

 The Armchair Critic: Jim Moginie, Alas Folkloric (EMI, 2006)
Almost all of the attention people have given to the band focuses on Peter Garrett, their tall, intimidating, opinionated, and profoundly unstylish singer who currently sits on the front bench for the opposition party in the Australian Parliament.
A number of the songs aim for an ambience reminiscent of many Daniel Lanois-produced recordings, most notably the beautifully eerie "A Curse On Both Your Houses." On the upbeat side, "Outer Space" is brilliant power pop with a psychedelic twist, and an obvious choice for a single.
Moginie's voice lacks the confidence and polish of somebody more accustomed to singing lead, but it has sincerity to it and a distinctive character that serves these songs well enough.

 20,000 Watt R.S.L. by Midnight Oil CD
Though the band's geographical references tend to be Aussie-centric, the injustices the Oils decry, ranging from the mistreatment of native people and culture ("Beds Are Burning") to the greed of corporations ("Blue Sky Mine"), are universal.
Guitarists Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey rage throughout with Garrett's voice leading the charge on "Best Of Both Worlds," occasionally slowing up enough to warble on harmonica ("Truganini").
Clinging to the ideological and musical tenets of punk, 20,000 WATT R.S.L. is a primer for the only band that continues to matter in these regards.

 :: JIM MOGINIE BIOGRAPHY : musichead Australia ::
Neither is it a lament – although a beloved icon of Australian folklore has, alas, shuffled off this mortal coil.
After 20 years of classic recordings, perhaps the real calibre of Jim Moginie's craft is only now coming to light, maybe in the line-drawing character sketch of "Stranger Than Truth", the dark suburban confusion of "Stolen Moments" or the prayer of hope that is "Pastoral Scene".
And ultimately, albeit tempered by the experience and even resignation of a wiser man, his message of self-respect and gentle defiance is as strong as ever: "Everything fades, everything fades, but we will not fade away."
