cre618 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Three songs now available on iTunes....well, two new ones, and one we already got for free. Scored a great seat for LA and Santa Barbara in today's presale...but yeah, the prices made me puke. Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it does remind me of a lot of EU. I was lukewarm at first, but after two more listens, I really like it. It adds to the tongue-in-cheek aspect of their name. I'm glad they aren't just releasing a straight up album of "folk" songs. If there are a few tracks like Dear God thrown in, I'll be pleased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouisvilleGreg Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 There's a very lengthy interview/ feature on Jim in today's Louisville Courier-Journal. It touches on MMJ's history, Louisville, Jim's new projects and more. Very good read.

okp greg Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A great gateway into M.

cre618 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Listening to this now. I love all of them individually, but on first listen, I wasn't so sure. Second listen, maybe a bit better. We'll see if this one sticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 noted! just saw a print add for this tour that now states the MoF shows will be similar to the 2004 shows: songs from m. ward, mmj and bright eyes along with the collaborative material. WOOOOOOO!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 album is pretty good... i was hoping for something mindblowing, but it turned out sorta what you'd expect it to be i suppose.still can't help feel like these are throwaway/b-side material from their own projects brought in to collaborate a little on though. that said, Matt's tracks are def the highlight for me. i've heard the shows will be 2.5-3+ hours, which for the $60-65 after fees, it better be . still a little bummed i have to miss the Mpls show, but oh well.
