Has anyone else here seen this page?

It has a new bio for the band talking about the new album.  The new album cover, and some cool Large size band pics.  MMJ must have a new PR firm or something.
Maybe this is old news but I thought it was cool so worth posting again if it is.

Oh wow.  That just made me all chilly and teary.  The new album cover is soooo awesome.

And this
Quote'Dondante' is like a series of clouds above a requiem."
Oh my.

I fucking love how they talk about music in their bio, and what they want it to do to you, and how they feel about it.  And I love how everybody has a quote in there.

I believe that is the drummer.  I think his name is Patrick or something.  ;)

(His hair looks very good in that picture, I think.)

Guess no one has seen this.
It would be hard to find i guess.  I was looking for a band pic to use as desktop wallpaper and stumbled upon it that way.
Seems strange that a site called girlieaction.com would have MMJ on it but there yah go.
And now i have a bunch of cool pictures to use a wallpaper.

You're so right!  How great!

(totally drifting, but is Food Lion a southern thing, or is it an all-over US thing?)

I don't know if you could call is "southern". They had em when I lived in Northern Virginia and in West Virginia. Not particularly northern, but I don't think that it's realllt super-southern. Maybe middle-eastern. America, that is.

Patrick is a great guy and an ausome drummer, i talked to him for the longest time after the palace show.

The cover art for Z is amazing, i can't wait until the day comes where i can see the cd on racks at our local record shop  and tell everyone to check this band out.

When you see those pictures, wow, I wish I was in that band.  It has some magic over it, you just can't describe.

I can feel a certain atmosphere when looking at it.  It makes me feel they're standing on the eve of something very important to happen. A lot bigger than the new album coming out.  It's like they are already writing history.

Artwork is underestimated a lot but for me it's essential for an LP.  And they did a great job. I love it. Can't wait to buy it.

Don't care about no stinking photos, but I can say that they are about the only band I can think of that when they're on stage cranking the crowd up, it does seem like it would be pure bliss to be in that band at that moment.

Kinda like The Joshua Tree, eh? That's what those pictures remind me of, for some strange reason.

Hurry for psychedelia! That photo where all their heads are mixed up looks a lot like the cover for The Doors' first album. And that album cover looks groovy, but a little creepy, I think. Cutting up birds...   :'(

I've always wanted to get backstage and take a couple of intimate portraits of the band, so I can't help but be pretty fucking jealous of whoever the photographer is.

I think the shot of the guys at the mirror of the strip club is really, really good. The band members each reflecting on whatever it is they're thinking about... Great stuff.

Awesome site.

The album art is pretty weird. Which is good.
