I'm guessing airfare is not paid for? Good luck LA people!
this would be a good opportunity to host a Periscope or Meerkat feed. :)

I'll throw this out there...
I entered. If by chance I win my wife would be unavailable to attend. Anyone want to join forces and promise to be each other's +1?
registered! walterfredo i have a ticket-share pinky-swear with tubetop but if you win you are welcome to my couch! :thumbsup:
So, 2.5 hours to go. Not a lot of comment on this. Can I hope it is because there is limited interest, or potential for folks to go, or is everyone keeping it on the down low to increase the odds?
agreed, can't wait to see if i won. work is going to pissed when i take off for two days but i'm not missing a chance to talk and with JJ and Bo.
Anyone?
wow i need to read what i write before i post. haha
It is officially past midnight and i want instant gratification and or disappointment. but really the realist in me is saying that the announcement will happen at 10 am Eastern. or Pacific. but i am crossing my fingers for this one!
Still nothing. We were going to fly out from Detroit just for the event..... :cry:
just give it a few hours. 10 am i bet it will be announced.
I always picture listening parties as being really awkward. Like would you and 13 other people sit in a room with Jim, not talking...just listening? That being said, I hope I win.

14 Roll Call winners. Trust me they(me?) are not going to be the only ones there. I went to something similar with Patterson and Cooley from DBT, nothing awkward, just awesome. It is hosted by Jason Bently from KCRW. He has the best radio show around, Morning Becomes Eclectic, M-F 9-12. Listen online if you are not in So Cal. I'm sure this even will be played sometime this week.

Haha, I'm in the same boat! I am prepared to spend way too much to go!
a total of 325 entries submitted - so about a 2% chance of winning. better odds than the lottery!!!
I wonder when they will contact winners....I'm almost afraid to price those airline tickets......

I wonder how many of those entries are 100% they can make it if they get picked. I'm sure quite a few entered on a whim and would potentially back out...considering the cost of last minute airfare to LA.
Hate to be a dick, but realistically, with such short notice it should be restricted to a defined area. Maybe they screened out long distance folks, just for practical reasons.

Yeah it's a very cool contest but they need to let the winners know better than a day before. But glad they are doing something for the fans like that.
if they have announced winners, it's disappointing it's not someone from the forum because I was hoping for a report afterwards....

...details to come later. No live music played. First hour was just drinks and schmoozing, then Q&A from KRCW guy with Jim and Bo, first side of album played, then more Q&A then second side, then more Q&A followed by questions from the audience.

Ok, album was great, but still feel like I need to give it several more listens to really make an opinion. Can't say I'm completely in love with it quite yet.
I think Compound Fracture has some serious potential to go places live, and Jim commented that they had actually recorded the song in three very different formats and various speeds and that they couldn't decide which to put on the album, but he said he expects that the song will be played much more rawkn live than on the album.
Like a River is a very slow, melodic tune, Bo said the song just feels like Stinson Beach feels...the moist air, the ocean the stars, just totally reminds him of the whole feel of where they were holed up.
In It's Infancy (The Waterfall) I thought was so-so but others I think really loved it, some pretty cool lyrics, and Jim said that whenever he looks at a waterfall he wants to make it freeze in time and space and make the water just stop in place. He also said that during the recording period he became obsessed with all things waterfalls and started taking photos and buying every old, vintage photo of waterfalls he could find on ebay and elsewhere.
Get the Point is sort of the "Golden" of the album, slow acoustic tune, loved it.
I think among the living will destroy it live!
Tropics- all I could think about was Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive, but in a good way.
Only Memories Remain! Just wow. This song is fucking magic! They saved the best for last on this album, in my opinion. As witnessed in Mexico this song has legs and will be an amazing live staple. Hands down my favorite track and the audience was blown away by the song. Soooo good!
Other things...Jim apparently just worked on (produced?) an album for Ray Lamontagne (sp?)
One person asked "I heard a rumor MMJ will be playing Los Angeles for new years" and Bo immediately responded "No".
I asked..."well my first question, if I promise not to share it with anyone can I please have the test pressing we just listened to" and Jim immediately responds... "Sure" then the audience and myself get a little excited and he says "wait, did you say have? I thought you said hold, I'm gonna have to think about that" spoke to him for a bit after, I could tell he was really torn but said apologetically that he didn't think he could give it to me for leakage reasons. I didn't push it. Thought for a second though I had it!!
I spoke with Jason Bentley and he said the interview will not be aired on KRCW. The thing was filmed and one of the camera guys said it may be incorporated into an upcoming documentary about the band.
Crowd was interesting I'd say, probably around 50-70 people, almost entirely industry folk who were over chatty while the album was being played. Very easy to see who the roll call winners were! Good to see Danz and also meet a couple other hard core fans. Mostly the crowd was textbook Los Angelians.
Nice reporting Walter! So excited to have a listen myself! Bummer he didn't give it to you!
LA folks will be LA folks. (most anyway, obviously not me or Ms. Y or Tube Top.....lol)
EDIT: Jeeeeez! Where on earth will I be on NYE??????
Jim also said that murals of the album art are being painted at several cities around the country, keep your eyes open! They gave the location of the one in LA, Venice beach, I'm gonna go stop by it on my way out of town today.
Excellent report, Walter! And Danz was there! :thumbsup:

Ooooh, I bet there will be one here in PDX!!
Dean Warehem of Galaxie 500 was in attendance, as pointed out by Danz.
Very cool. You should have given Jim your address so he could send you the album after the release. I bet he'd do that. :cool:

The thought crossed my mind. He told me that had the album been coming out tomorrow or within a week he would have totally given it to me no problem, but since it's still more than a month out he didn't think it would be ok. I could tell he was really considering it though.
Any comment on "Believe (Nobody knows)"--It's the album opener correct?
Awesome story about the test pressing! Was it CD or vinyl?
Great reporting, thx for giving us the Lowdown. Nice effort on the test pressing....

I thought it was pretty good, could be great live. The interviewer asked them (and of course Jim answered most of the questions) which song on the album was the last to be actually recorded and Jim said that Believe was the last song recorded, so kinda interesting that it's the first track.
waltefredo.....you are ace, holmes! Thanks for the review. It means so much more coming from a fan than from a journalist or website. :thumbsup:
Walter, would you say sonically the album is more like Z or Evil Urges? Or is it on a different spectrum? Any style youd say fits the album more than another?
Great summary Walter. What a special way to first hear the album and then get to talk to Jim about it. Fantastic!
Much appreciated Walter, Awesome you where one of the chosen few in attendance.
Great report, Walt! Happy you and DanZ got to witness it.
Great report Walter, that must have been a surreal experience!
I'm curious does it generally take a few listens with MMJ albums for you to get into or are they all different like they are for me?
I was hoping the album version of "Only Memories Remain" would live up to the live version and it sounds as if it did!
Did you notice a lot of the same guitar sound Jim was using on the New Basement Tapes and at the end of "Spring Among the Living"?
CHIMMJFAN
Sorry a couple more quick questions.....Did Jim or Bo mention anything in terms of their shows this summer and how they went about do more multi shows per city.
And how is Carl/Jim's guitar work on the album....any true mind blowers?
CHIMMJFAN
Thanks for the updates, Walter!
Here's the mural in Venice, it's not all the way finished yet though...

Great to hear that Only Memories sounds fantastic on the album. Was wondering about that.
Jim James & Ray LaMontagne working on an album together? Seriously, Get the fuck out!!! That can only be awesome....
Wasn't there talk at one point about this being a double album? or is it (quite possible) my memory is made up of dead brain cells? Beer kills them, y'know.
If there was, I'm surprised no one mentioned this or if there were out takes that might make their way out eventually. Maybe a deluxe edition or something?

Not a double album they are releasing one this year and next year supposedly.
it's interesting because none of the four extra tracks that are on the deluxe addition came from that original batch of 24. so they will have at least 14 songs to work with for the second album. my guess would be that after they go through that process they will put one or two of the leftovers on the deluxe edition for that album and then throw out some kind of EP or something for Record Store Day.

What do we know about Hillside Song that implies itss not from these sessions? I realize two bonus tracks are alternate versions and that I Can't Wait is an older track, but do we know something about Hillside Song? I must have missed that.
I Can't Wait also could have been from those sessions as I don't think it was ever recorded.
re a few of the other questions...
no mention about summer tour dates, multi-city stuff, etc. Only discussion at all about shows was Bo quickly shooting down the question about NYE in L.A.
I don't think I would necessarily say the album has a Z sound to it, but I will say that it didn't remind my of Evil Urges in any way at all.
Don't think I can really comment on the carl/Jim guitar questions.
Yes, that is me next to Jim in the photo
A couple other things that were said during the Q&A (paraphrased from my memory!)...
Someone asked Jim if they were hoping to license (think they used a different word, can't recall what it was) any new tracks for things like TV shows, movies, commercials etc. And Jim responded in a jovial fashion..."we will sell our music to absolutely anybody, anytime, anywhere under any circumstance".
I also asked a question that I had intended to ask all day, I said that I can remember as a kid how odd it would sound to hear my voice on a recording, and how I thought it didn't sound like me. I asked them if it was a weird experience to hear themselves on a recording. Jim responded saying that he never listens to the recordings at all after they're done. He also said that he often hates the sound of his voice on older recordings, and on the rare occasion he has to relearn a song and go back and hear old recordings that he just really dislikes the experience and hearing his voice. In reality they somewhat answered my question with their actions before I could even ask it... the album was played in two sections with Q&A before and after each side was played, and as soon as they began to play the music, both Jim and Bo left the studio immediately. I was curious before the event if they would just sit there and listen with everyone else...they did not.
Jim reiterated something I've heard him say before, that he knows music is readily available for free on the internet, and he's not necessarily bothered by that. He basically said if you can't afford the album, please help yourself to it online for free, but for those that can afford it, please be responsible and buy the album, and if people aren't paying for it that really can, it will cause the whole process to stop.
Someone asked about the origin of the song Big Decisions, Jim explained how we all know people in our lives that can't or won't make important decisions for themselves, in a relationship they know is toxic but can't seem to break out of it, a job that they hate and want to leave buy are afraid to do so. And how we all see friends like this and feel like we should be making their decisions for them, since they obviously can't do it themselves, and how the band jokes that they should each make each others decisions for them so they don't have to make them for themselves.
So much more interesting stuff was said that I can't possibly recall it all, but if things pop back into my head I'll try to post them.

I could.not locate the quote if you asked me but someone in the band was asked about hillside song (not jim) and they said something alluding to the fact that they didnt know much about it other than that it is a jim song.
Thanks again, Walt!
Kind of sad to hear that Jim doesnt like his early voice. Personally thats my favorite voice of any voices ive ever heard. But maybe it has less to do with the sound and more to do with simply looking back on old mindsets.. Kind of how its hard sometimes to read your old letters or other things that you wrote and thought were really great at the time lol.
Good question, though. His answer says a lot.
I guess that ends the Big Decision debate. Pretty surface level compared to where some of us took it but thats the beauty of it all.
I wish you'd asked "is the band aware how bad their fan club is run?"
I wanted to add that Danz is hard core! He and his lady drove from SF at noon and arrived just before the event...and then turned around and drove back to SF after. Kudos!

I bet that was Kyle on Patrick's Twitter account, he's a total bully.
I'll include this... :wink:

He's a huge asshole.
Thanks for answering my questions Walter, I'm bummed too hearing Jim say he hates his old voice/older songs but I understand.
I have a feeling like this is a big reason "Come Closer" doesn't get played that much live.

I wish you'd asked "is the band aware how bad their fan club is run?"
Time.and.a.place.
Are you the same guy that word vomited all over patrick's twitter after he announced how excited he was for the upcoming tour? Sheesh.
It's a good time to be a Jacket fan, let's just enjoy this :beer:

Hey now, i put a smiley in my post doesnt that count for anything?
I read this board a lot but i do not know most of the poster's personalities. After the 20 page ground control gripe fest and some of the stuff that went on during that time i took magh33ta's suggestion to be sincere. Apologies to mahg33ta for my inaccurate perception.

yeah you could be on to something there. And the same might be said for other songs that don't get played very often especially those that are actually on full albums (picture of you, if all else fails, hopefully..). the other reason could very well be that some of those songs may not allow the rest of the band to participate quite as much.
No but seriously the fan club is run terribly

It's always been been so.
Something I find funny...
my friend that attended the event with me was joking that when it came to audience questions he was going to ask Jim (in his best Chris Farley show voice)... "Remember when you said that's it's a bad idea to go down to the pier by yourself after the dark? Is that true? Did something happen to you when you were a kid?"
If you never saw the Chris Farley show skits on SNL, youtube that shit!

It would have been cooler if he did. (said in my best McConaughey voice)
...and the album has officially been leaked. Good timing on the listening party.
