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...

My Morning Jacket played their second Glastonbury festival over the weekend. Sure they might be trying to make their reverb heard round-the-world on their current Euro tour, but the Kentucky rockers' performance at Radio City Music Hall on June 20th is still ringing in my ear.When I first got MMJ's Evil Urges, I was nervous for the band. I didn't like. I thought it was weird - Jim James going ...

Looks like that Jim James benefit for Obama scheduled for tonight in Chicago won't be happening. The My Morning Jacket frontman slipped, fell and hit his head at last night's show in Iowa City. Injuries have forced James to not only cancel the Schubas gig tonight benefiting Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, but also to postpone the MMJ shows in Chicago later this week.A message f...

Next to the Kentucky Derby, the Brown Hotel, and the bourbon distilleries just outside of town another Louisville, KY staple is Ear-x-tasy - a smaller, more wholesome version of Cali's Amoeba's. Make it a sure stop on your next Lulville trip. MMJ did. Now the beloved band to many is releasing their in-store performance as a live EP. But in true MMJ form the band are leaving us guessing. In addi...

Duuuuude....I am sp psyched for tonight. It's the best start to a weekend! I've got fourteenth row to see My Morning Jacket at Radio City Music Hall. At first I didn't think it was a big deal. I've been following these guys since they played the dinky stage at Austin Music Festival in 2003. Then the show, announced months ago, sold out. Seeing MMJ at the monolith Radio City Music Hall is going ...
