    Winter Residency Mp3's- Tagged, sorted, and compiled

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    maybe I spoke too soon, some of the guitar levels are pretty poor...listen to the intro of Too Far Apart, you can hear it pretty vivid. I'm not really complaining, it's very good quality and a good show. I have to admit though, that version of Someday Soon sucks. :\ I really like that song, but this one is kind of cobbled together.

     

    During some of the songs, Jeff's guitar is non-existent

    I know - it's nutty, right? They will get up there - if I don't get to it in the next few days - someone else will.

     

    So has Day 3 or 4 been posted anywhere besides dimeadozen? I can't keep track either! Also, thanks to cars_cant_escape for putting them up for direct download.

     

    Big thanks to the tapers, without them, no one would be able to hear the concert outside of the concertgoers!!!

    New My Morning Jacket Album!!!

    I think this band is OK but for some reason the abbreviation "MMJ" is really jarring / annoying to me.

     

    Note to self: never start a band with a three-word name or someone will make it into an irritating acronym in under 30 seconds.

     

    Well, the reason they're called My Morning Jacket is that Jim James found a robe or coat of some sort that had the letters MMJ on it. He then came up with My Morning Jacket. I think its perfectly ok to abbreviate My Morning Jacket to MMJ.

    I think the only UT songs we've done are Acuff-Rose, New Madrid and We've Been Had.

     

    Although some of the ensemble members know how to play Gun and a bunch of other UT songs.

     

    We've played Just a Kid at the Old Town School, and we tried Hey Chicken, but never quite got the rhythm right on that one.

     

    The ensemble has now gone through every regular Wilco album, and performed them all. With each album, the material gets more challenging!

     

    I think we also did the Ruling Class, but I may be wrong, yankee?

    So 4 out of the 9 steps involve beer. Can you like buy the beers but not actually drink one yerself. Or maybe buy real beers for the "oldtimers" and drink root beer yerself . . . I mean, I could probably drink a non-alcoholic beer cept they're for non-alcoholics . . . maybe you could grandfather a clause for wharf rats . . .

     

    i mean, shit, we got 12 steps and only the first half of the first step involves alcohol . . .

     

    You don't necessarily have to do the beer thing. I'm too young to do the whole beer thing but I've still been invited to do the living room shows. What you really need to do is sign up for the sessions, be enthusiastic, and not be a jerk.

    Cannot wait for this!

     

    My Morning Jacket has set a June 10 release date for its as-yet-untitled new ATO album, and will celebrate the project with a June 20 show at New York's Radio City Music Hall.

     

    The group's first appearance at the storied venue will be "an evening with," and is being billed as MMJ's only New York-area appearance for the time being.

     

    As previously reported, for the first time since 2002, the band will be on hand for the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, where it will play a March 13 show at Austin Music Hall. Frontman Jim James will also play a March 15 solo gig at Austin's St. David's Church.

     

    In addition, the band will join indie stalwarts Yo La Tengo for a March 10 SXSW warm-up at Houston's Verizon Wireless Theatre.

     

    MMJ decamped to New York to record the follow-up to 2005's acclaimed "Z," which has sold 206,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

     

    "We're seeing every song to its end before we think about sequencing or which songs belong," guitarist Carl Broemel tells Billboard of sessions with producer/engineer Joe Chiccarelli that wrapped in early December. "We're just starting to be open to how they relate. In general, the record is different in a way I don't even think any of us realized until we started recording."

     

    To prepare, band members spent a month together in a Colorado compound, doing nothing but work on new songs. "That was priceless, because we don't all live in the same city," Broemel says. "We just got together and played."

    Once we figure out who is going to go, we divide into groups of four or five or soloist's playing with Jeff. We then send about about a million emails out and let our favorite pedal steel player edit it down to a few songs per group. Jeff gets to reject any song he doesn't want to do. He usually is very willing to try to play just about anything. He only refused one song the first year, Uncle Tupelo's "No Sense In Loving". Ken talked him into playing it and it is still one of my favorites. This year he offered to micro manage it as a joke. We can come up with some weird unlikely combinations of songs.

     

    That was the first time I ever heard that song, as well as Long Time Ago

    Just saw Sweeny Todd and it was great. I had never seen the musical and I must say I was blown away by the songs! Great melodies! It was visually stunning, had great performances and was just a fun story.

     

    SPOILER

     

    The person I saw it with said in the musical version Sweeny also kills his daughter. Is this true?

     

    In the ones I have seen he doesn't.

    Anybody else see Sweeney Todd today? WOW. So much fun, and such a gorgeous production. The photography and production design were truly spectacular, and the music was integrated almost seamlessly with the onscreen action. The first half hour was a bit tough for me to sit through at times - I am NOT a Sondheim/Broadway/whatever fan, and I admit it freely - but the film completely charmed me by about the midpoint. Probably Tim Burton's strongest movie since Ed Wood, no kidding. It's been a good year for directorial comebacks, between this and No Country for Old Men. Anybody have a chance to see Coppola's Youth Without Youth yet? I don't want to raise my expectations, but there's a pattern I see starting to emerge...

     

    P.S., The older couple sitting in front of me during the matinee were audibly horrified by the violence. I didn't realize it was an R-rated movie 'til I exited the theatre, so I was a little surprised by the Kill Bill-topping arterial sprays.

     

    I also saw Sweeney Todd today and I must say it was great. As a fan of the stage production, the movie did it justice. Depp's voice is chilling at times. The reviews were dead on in that it was an absolute bloodbath. Won't say much more on the plot, so I won't spoil it for anyone. Sacha Baron Cohen was great, along with Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall as vile as one can imagine. Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans will be pleased with a cameo by one of its former cast members.
