have you shown yourself in the RCMH roll call thread?

I don't know what that is, but I will look for it. Tomorrow at work maybe :thumbup ???

 

It's 1am, I am tired, I need to be awake in 4.5 hours. Thank you My Morning Jacket, for making my week!

Great show peeps. I enjoyed sharing it with you even if we weren't actually there. :thumbup

Yeah, these new songs are friggin' exceptional. The NPR stream has basically been my work music since it aired live! I'm actually one of the few fans who feel that Z didn't represent a step down for MMJ, I think, but just for variety's sake (and because At Dawn is my fav MMJ disc) I'm glad that some of the new stuff is sounding more expansive than a lot of what was on that record. I'm also loving the blue-eyed soul aspect to the slower songs, which is really striking. First Wilco, now my other favourite contemporary band. Woo!

MMJ at South by Southwest mp3's

 

These are the mp3's from the live stream. Very good quality from a great show.

thank ya thank ya!

 

 

Was digging the new songs I herd, although i didn't hear the whole set.

 

 

But someone clue me in was there background vocals about Peanut Butter at one point loL?

Ha! Yeah, there's some weird line in "Highly Suspicious" about "peanut butter Pulitzer Prize." The whole tune is a blast of self-conscious silliness.

 

Thanks for the portable version of the stream, Lynch!

No problem! I went for a walk today with all 8 new tunes on my mp3 player. I am really diggin' em all. I had Highly Suspicious in my head all evening.

 

Sec' Walkin is my favorite right now.

 

Good thing Wilco announced the new shows (going to Winnipeg AND Fargo!!!), or MMJ might have overtaken them..........

i'd have to disagree with you there... and judging from audience reactions at the Austin show, it seems that "I'm Amazed" is the one new song that immediately caught peoples ear as well. people were pretty unsure what to think of "Highly Suspicious" overall, which i'd have to agree to a point.

 

it's a fun song, but the deep backing vocals just seem a bit goofy to me. usually like MMJ at their more serious i guess. it's definitely a fun live song though!

 

I went to M. Ward & Jim James at St. David's Episcopal Church last night (capacity: 240 seated :o) and taped it:

 

M. Ward

 

Sad Sad Song

Oh Lonesome Me (Don Gibson)

Poison Cup

Rollercoaster

Duet for Guitars #3

 

M. Ward + Jim James

 

Chinese Translation

One Life Away

Outta My Head

Wonderful (The Way I Feel)

Golden (w/ Carl on pedal steel)

Look at You

 

Jim James

 

Bermuda Highway

It Beats For You

What A Wonderful Man (on Omnichord)

Sec Walkin' (w/ Carl on pedal steel & backing vocals)

Librarian (w/ Carl on pedal steel & backing vocals, Bo on church pipe organ)

Smokin From Shootin (w/ Carl on pedal steel)

Thank You Too (w/ Carl on acoustic guitar & backing vocals)

I Will Be There When You Die (w/ Carl on guitar & backing vocals)

Gideon (w/ Carl on acoustic guitar)

 

it was absolutely stunning. one of the best shows i've ever seen in my life to be perfectly honest. many of the new songs sound even better in a solo setting.

wow, was that announced in advance?

 

 

And I agree with you about Highly Suspicious, it made me laugh but thats it, the chorus sounded like mettalica with prince in the background.

And what's really amazing is that I'm Amazed is easily the least impressive of the new songs and still ranks among MMJ's absolute best. :blink

I would agree. At first I was really diggin' I'm Amazed, but after listening to Sec Walkin', Smokin' from Shootin', and Touch Me I'm Going To Scream I am enthralled with all those songs. Aaaaaand, there's still 6 more we haven't heard.

"I Will Be There When You Die," just destroys me. Jim's voice is just perfect on that one. One of these days I'll see him solo.
