It's a new year, we're glad to be here ... hopefully your hangover has subsided by now. I've seen some memorable NYE shows in NYC in recent years -- the Strokes/GBV, DB-T, CYHSY, Dirty Projectors -- but I don't remember any as fun as this Jacket show sounds (well, maybe the Strokes). Celebrating at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, Jim James and Co. brought Nicole Atkins, Will Johnson, ...

Here's a video of My Morning Jacket being joined by Nicole Atkins for their show at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve. Jim and Nicole do a cover of Marvin Gaye's "You're All I Need" that I would have loved to have seen.

*I Popped Marigold’s Cherry…*That’s right… you heard me correctly – or I guess I should say you READ me correctly. I had the great fortune on Monday night to meet up with Mike & his wife Heather in my hometown. It was his first MOGmeet… nearly a year to the day that he joined MOG actually !!! I am a well-seasoned MOGmeeter… it’s quickly become my favorite pastime… how could it

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 ...

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":http://mog.com/sonical/blog/156257 is.I'm listening to the band's...

My Morning Jacket have started Tuesday off with a little surprise - a 6 track live EP from a recent tour stop in viva Las Vegas dubbed Candles and Panties '08. Nah, they kid. That's just the alternate name honoring the band's front of house guy, Ryan Pickett. Part of the whole exclusive to iTunes live series "Live From Las Vegas At The Palms" includes songs from across MMJ's musical career and...

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...

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 ...

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 ...
