WaronWar Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I know a lot people around here like them, but I have never gotten into them. Moreover, I get annoyed by the lead singer's microphone drenched in reverb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I know a lot people around here like them, but I have never gotten into them. Moreover, I get annoyed by the lead singer's microphone drenched in reverb.My appreciation for them was ruined by WXRT playing Golden once an hour. I am sure they are great, but I gave away the one MMJ album I bought and I never give away albums hardly ever. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Anyone into MMJ? Anyone actually perform with MMJ on this board? Only in the sense that I scream my **cking head off singing along while standing in front of Carl's monitor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 ditto. I can't get enough of that whole album. GoldenOne Big HolidayJust One Thing yep, my answer's still the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nettles Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Anyone actually perform with MMJ on this board? twice, a few years back now. Awesome both times, super cool and friendly, and as a bonus the second time MMJ performed the best rock show I've ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renic Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i think ms yvon might be a fan of some sorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 huge fan. Lay Low, Steam Engine, Mahgeetah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 another band that could be amazing and save rock, but are marred by the special indie requirement that the singer must be really annoying-sing really high and off key, look like a complete tool on stage, etc. much like ryan adams. only his problem is that he puts too much mediocre material on his albums. he sings okay. by the way, the problems with mmj that i mentioned above are what supposedly make them cool?!seriously, what happened to rock? really! did punk really ruin it all?

ms. yvon Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i think ms yvon might be a fan of some sorts. if you haven't heard this little treat from the "prom" shows in athens last february, check it out: johnny b. goode! it's an audience recording, but you can still hear the roof come off the venue if you listen close enough.

you ever seen a ghost? Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 umm...actually, Jim James doesn't have that "indie" voice you go on so much about. his voice is quite wonderful. favorites songs:One In The SameCan You See The Hard Helmet On My Head?Lay LowOne Big HolidayMaster PlanAnytimeWordless ChorusGideon -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 for the record: steam enginephone went westnashville to kentucky or heartbreakin man or they ran... (now listening to disc 3, side B of okonokos: steam engine ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start. I thought MMJ was pretty decent until I saw them live in November of 2005 at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis. They have been my favorite band ever since. I can understand how his voice might not be for everybody, but I would be interested to hear what makes him "look like a complete tool on stage".

I can understand how his voice might not be for everybody, but I would be interested to hear what makes him "look like a complete tool on stage". looking like a tool comes from the hair. it is just stupid to stand there looking like cousin it. i saw them once and was just embarrassed for jim james. (not to mention the ridiculous blow up ghost). another citique. no guitar solos, just playing chords really loud. there's a place for that, but come on. Tenn. Fire-unlistenableAt Dawn-okay, mostly forgetableISM-could've been great if shorter(golden, holiday, etc = good)Z-this could have been amazing given the potential shown on ISM, but as is the way in indie-land sounding like shit gives cred. so they put out 10 crappy songs! and name the album Z? really? i mean, when are you people gonna demand that artists quit puttin' out crap much less quit buying it!! SBS is probably gonna be the only album I buy this year of new music. lets face it mainstream blows and indie is just unlistenable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 lets face it mainstream blows and indie is just unlistenable. You realize how ignorant you sound, right? You certainly may feel this way about "mainstream" and "indie", but they are your personal tastes. There are plenty of mainstream bands that I find enjoyable, and plenty of indie bands that are awesome as well. lumping them all together and insulting them makes little to no sense. But then again, you have a problem with facial hair on singers so.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 You realize how ignorant you sound, right? yet another self righteous indie-kid perpetuating his own delusion and denial by calling others ignorant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
