MOG

My Morning Jacket have made it to the big-time. This Saturday, May 10th, 2008, will mark the band's debut performance on Saturday Night Live. If that wasn't enough news to tickle you nose then perhaps the news that the Kentucky alt-rockers will be going on an extensive tour of the U.S., following their summer escapade in Europe is.

I'm listening to the band's new album Evil Urges and am on track 2 "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Part 1," which doesn't really sound anything like My Morning Jacket. It sounds like a token Montreal indie rock ballad that would make the Arts & Crafts label drool, but despite the difference I LOVE IT! Very mellow and probably a minute too long. The rest of you suckers will have to wait till June 10th, to hear it.
