In the current issue, there were 4 mentions of Jim/MMJ throughout. There was a blip about Americanarama, a blip about the Super Soul Jam, their ranking as the #10 best live act out right now and then the mini interview with Jim James (I can post the text of that later) about what goes on in his head during a show.

4 mentions!!! That's awesome, seems like since Jim released his solo album, Rolling Stone mag has been talking about Jim/MMJ more.

Nice find right there, it always amazes me how no one has heard of this band even though they get good pub from most of the magazines out there.

I think this is a new pre-show article, but a lot of it seems familiar. His reference to how awful his Iowa City stage fall in 2008 was makes me wonder if he'll ever come back... face his demons. It's been five years. We shall see.

As a high school teacher, I love that Jim took the time to come visit those kids and talk to them. The acoustic A Mew Life is pretty awesome too! Thumbs up, Jim!

Now I can finally figure out the elusive chord changes at the end of each verse.  I've been looking for a good video of Jim playing TIWTCWY on the Omnichord for years!

Excellent! So now there's a chance I might get to hear you play TIWTCWY on Laser Harp sometime in the future?
