No one said you had to, of course. But I need to get in touch with my old gear again and I think this would be fitting. I'm still going pirate. Besides I know how much Bob Moog hated people attaching his name to everything...

Remember it's Moog, rhyme's with rogue.

Well, he did say something like "who said anything about hippies?" when people complained about the "hippie theme" but afaik he never said it shouldn't be a bunch of tree-huggin' hippie crap...

But I could've missed some of his highly insightful posts stating otherwise of course

As long as I know how you approach the theme, anything's fair game to me. I look at the themes as a springboard to the imagination, not so much something to be judged on (though I tend to vote higher on songs that creatively interpret the theme).

But does anyone really not understand this month's theme? Okay, I'll say it: I interpret this month's theme to be a tribute to Dr. Robert Moog, who passed away on 08/22 of a brain tumor.

You interpret it however you want

Actually, I really love the vast array of interpretations of each theme. It reminds me of my radio DJ days. I used to put on some song that fit my mood, and then I'd play a bunch of songs that were somehow related. So I might start out with Talking Heads's song Cities from Fear of Music, then go . . . Hmm, maybe I'll do a whole city theme. Play something like Peasant In The Big Shitty (eh! who's gonna notice one bad word in a song?) by The Stranglers right after that, then Neon Lights by Kraftwerk, then Metropolis by Edgar Froese, then Klaus Schulze's Bayreuth Return from Timewind and then end the set with Babylon by Aphrodite's Child. I might not even announce my chosen "theme".

Kind of the same thing here. I like knowing why people do what they do, but it's not an immediate up/down vote.

just kidding oc, but i wonder how to approach this theme

(this is not a complaint, more the sign of my creative excitation)

it doesn't have to be a moog synth - if you're going to be all hardware-literal about it, then anything which is or aspires to be an analog substractive synth with the signal flow "we all know and love" is surely 'homage' enough.
