Two nights ago I scored myself a $30 ticket ($10 under face value) 2 minutes before My Morning Jacket took the stage at the Chicago Theater. It was very last minute and due the monsoon-ing winter rain the place wasn't packed despite being stamped sold out two months ago. The atmosphere was relaxed, with security not even budging me from my guerrilla spot in the aisle, next to the fourth row, bu...

So... as some of you may already know... I am a MOGbassador & have enjoyed immensely my share of MOGmeets over the last year+. This past Friday I finally got to meet the fantabulous "*jameson*":http://mog.com/jameson & his sister & fiancee (both named Jess) ;) We all met up at Festival Pier in Philadelphia to see My Morning Jacket. Once again - it was the people who thrilled me more than the ...

GO TO MY PAGE TO READ THE ENTIRE POST... as happens here from time to time, it cut off quite a large chunk of it...OK, so here's the deal kiddies. *I miss my MOGtiply-ily !!!* I miss them something fierce. I keep going over the astounding music we saw this past weekend in the desert of Indio California with palm trees & mountains as a most beautiful backdrop for 3 out of 5 stages. What I fi...

Last year, at Lollapalooza I was faced with the age old festival dilemma; 2 bands overlapped, both good, both "must see's" at least in your book. Modest Mouse on one side of Grant Park, My Morning Jacket on the other.I went with Modest Mouse. I knew their music better and besides, they were from Issaquah, WA, a town only 10 miles from my house. MMJ I only knew of, although I had heard they w...

Enough hair to shake a Motley Crue reunion at, enough volume to make my ears ring.... this collection is missing absolutely nada.You've got to check out MMJ's 2006 concert DVD Okonokos [which is free on Concert.tv On Demand this month by-the-way]. Rarely will music DVD's hold my attention for more than a couple of tracks, but with some elaborate set designs and intriguing [not annoying] camera...

I love this band. I was reading a piece about MMJ a year or so ago and the writer dubbed the band the 'American Radiohead'...I think that totally fits! I can't think of two other bands that play THEIR OWN kind of music so well, regardless of what every one else in the musical world is doing...Wilco may fall in to that category for me too...just an opinion...one of the beautiful things about mus...

Cue 2003, late fall. It was during the period I call "the Pre-breakup". My girlfriend and I were miserable after 4 years together and 2 of those sharing an apartment, but we were complacent and evasive of our problems.I began spending a lot of time with my friends and generally being destructive like a good 25 year old should. One in particular, he had his own place and I remember that one caus...

We attended the annual Thanksgiving Homecoming of Louisville's own My Morning Jacket at the Louisville Gardens. They blew the doors off that historic venue and gave everyone something for which to be thankful. From the start of One Big Holiday to the final note 2 hours later, MMJ showed they are truly one of the best live bands in music today. Although, I must say that when Jim James hits that ...
