Hi, didn't see any intro threads (didn't made a full search tho).
Just wanted to say hi, I signed up to find luck for the Boston show, still no luck.
I'm a beginner fan, don't own any records, but have downloaded a fistful of songs since "It Still Moves", and own Okonokos. Looking to get the whole discog starting with Circuital.
I got into them -I think- because Dave Grohl once mentioned them, recommended them, or maybe MMJ opened for Foos? Not sure, but I know it was Foo induced for me.
Yeah, I'm an intense Foo fan and... well that's it, just wanted to say hi. Oh, and I'm from Mexico
Welcome! :thumbsup:
Try to get some bootleg shows from this fantastic blog: http://www.thesteamengine.net/ (http://www.thesteamengine.net/)
Heya foomex, welcome, and I think the thread you were looking for was this one: http://www.mymorningjacket.com/forum/index.php?topic=1634.msg261628#new (http://www.mymorningjacket.com/forum/index.php?topic=1634.msg261628#new)
I can thank Dave Grohl for introducing me to MMJ too -- here's my entry in that thread poking a little fun about it:

I first discovered Y.Y from "I'm not there yet". The emotions that his voice struck in me where incomparable to anything before, I was blown away. I immediately left the theater and walked into Virgin to by the soundtrack... From that point on it was history; I became a huge fan of MMG and of course of the man (Yim Yames). I might have a small crush on Yim Yames...OK maybe a big one.
I first heard about My Morning Gasket when I was thumbing through the latest issue of Gearboy back in 2004, and read a remark from Dave Grill in a poll of famous mechanics about new parts they had been enjoying lately. He said something like "My Morning Gasket makes some really great seals for when you're hungover," and I was intrigued. So I checked out some of their stuff that I found on the internet like The Tennessee Tire, Chocolate and Grease, It Still Drives, and I was hooked. It wasn't long before everything I could find at Napa was in my own grimy paws.
So glad I finally found this thread!
::) ;) ::)
Hey there kydiddle and crispy.
I found what PERHAPS made me look into them. Back from 2002, last question on the first page. (http://www.mtv.com/bands/g/grohl_david/news_feature_101002/)

Loder: What band have you seen recently, maybe live, that you thought, well, maybe they'll be all right and they knocked you out?
Grohl: My Morning Jacket. ... I think they're from Tennessee or something like that. It's a great record.
:D
Jaimoe from's Mexico too...Upper Mexico. Sorry. No, I really am - I kid because I love. Go Cannucks?
