My my thinking is that the songs on that 7" were the songs intended for the Muppets... but I could be way off.

I'm in agreement.  FA and OMS were originally written for the Muppet project, not rejected for the current Muppet movie, as every article today is inaccurately stating.

[subinai]

see what you're saying. you're right

I'm thinking this could be anything since the put it as "gift."  Why bother with the quotation marks...... maybe it's like a gift.

Before Jason Segel convinced Disney to make the current movie "The Muppets", My Morning Jacket were in the early stages of developing a Gorillaz-style experience, where MMJ would play live, "behind the curtain", to the Electric Mayhem band, as puppets, playing on stage or on screen to the audience.  The Disney executive with whom they were working got axed and the project fell apart. 

I only know for certain of two songs written, in one form or another, for that project - Friends Again and Outta My System.  Wonderful (The Way I Feel) may have also been orignally destined for this project.

Jim speaks about it during the interview included in the iTunes session Xmas EP that just came out.

got it

i just noticed the dude from Flight of the Conchords did the music in the movie.

   It really is a great example of how great ideas start out with this amazing potential and then fizzle out into some drivel at the hands of execs.  It seems like Jason Segal's heart was in the right place, I guess playing with house money leaves little room for wiggle.

But Jason Segal's idea had nothing to do with the project that MMJ was potentially involved with! 

[sweatboard]

Ok, I was thinking that Jason Segal wrote the script and wanted mmj and then a Disney exec got fired and the person that took his place decided that the mmj/electric mayhem band idea was a no go.  It's all so confusing. 

[sweatboard]

I'll put myself down to buy one copy of the indie version 

[gardenparty]

basically, it just looks like folks are trying to bank on the muppet name any way possible.  i kid of course

sweatboard, excellent avatar!  I watch that special every xmas so it was cool to hear Jim say the same

[robb]

so now that we know that the friends again 7" comes with a digital download, what could this possibly be?

[Nicholas Yames]

everyone is thinking it... nobody is saying it...

Potential for some T-5 Magic? Earlier than everyone else?

On the other hand... Jim (Yim) did mention January as a possible release date for his debut LP as a solo artist. Maybe a free taste of that?

[e_wind]

There are like 9 threads about this, but that's been suggested. And what I'm hoping for. Maybe a 12 song LP length taste or something.
