Totally stumbled on to this tonight on spotify. Im surprised it took until the last post, but this reminds me a lot of sort of a combo of MOF and JJ's solo album, with a little MMJ kick I guess mostly because of the solo.

I definitely like it, dont love it, but hard to say what it brings for the future. While there are a few notable covers on the Dallas Buyers Club soundtrack - Portugal The Man doing T.Rex's Main Man, Capital Cities covering Stayin Alive - the majority of the songs from other relevant bands are originals and not released on previous albums - Manchester Orchestra, AWOLNATION, Cold War Kids, Airbourne Toxic Event, The Naked and Famous, to name a few.

Maybe this is a MMJ track that has been shelved for awhile, but based on the other bands contributing mostly new songs, I wouldnt be surprised if Ready To Be Called On was a recently written song by MMJ.

it's been around for a bit, not from the recent sessions

Oh, I didnt think it was recorded so recently it wouldve been a part of what theyre doing for their next album, but I doubt its been around for more than a few years, right?

I absolutely LOVE this song!!  Its catchy.  Im on my 10th listen, and I don't see any stopping anytime soon.  :tongue:  Gotta love Jim's scream  :cheesy:  I'll definitely be buying this soundtrack soon.

Listening to the sample, it really does remind me of I'm Amazed...but goes a somewhat (somewhat) psychedelic twist..

:drum: :thumbsup:

For all the calls for a return to the pre-2008 vibe, I respect MMJ for making music to satisfy themselves. We can come along for the ride or get off at the next stop. We may never see another Steam Engine, Lay Low, or War Begun, but I love the journey thus far... and the great thing is, we have amazing documentation of live material, and future shows, to sustain us!

Amen

Do you know where to buy that vinyl...? It'd be a lot cooler if you did...

I concur!

Alright, alright, alright... Would be a lot cooler if they did play this down ol' Mexico way...

The middle of that tune is set up for them to go off into a jam of "McConaughey'vian" proportions!

Just one guys opinion :thumbsup:

The soundtrack is on spotify for free...and I had the song on a few MMJ playlist for awhile but then it was made unavailable. You can't listen to it. It's a great song, my only guess as to why they removed is bc it's probably on the new album.

Not necissarily, sometimes I have noticed certain songs, and even albums, become unavailable from time to time. The only reason I don't think it'll be on the new album is that it was an older song dug up for the sound track (IIRC) and that doesn't seem to fit with how they do things. I personally love the song and would kill to hear it live.

Have they ever played this live? And is there anyway I can buy this song without buying the entire damn soundtrack? Was so bummed when they pulled it from Spotify. Love this song. Brilliant.

I think this song is fantastic as well.  I also seriously doubt a song already released on another album will be on the new album.  True, stuff sometimes disappears and then reappears mysteriously from Spotify.  I bet it will be back again.

Ready To Be Called On is available through the Pono Music Store. It has been there for a few months now. I also didn't want to have to purchase the entire album (too many songs and bands I have never heard of). I used to listen to it on Spotify as well. After seeing it offered in the Pono Music Store as a $1.99 single song download, I jumped on it! Here is the link to all the Pono Music Store has to offer at present of MMJ music (I know it's not much...yet...they are still hammering out negotiations (contacts and deals) with the various record companies.

If you decide to purchase the 44.1kHz/16 bit (CD quality) version of this song, you will have to start up an account. After you have paid for it, you will get a prompt telling you that you need to download the Pono Music World application. Once you have that, your download will automatically begin after opening it up.

Umm... Is anyone else seeing something else MMJ at this site? As in, a song called "Big Decisions" dated today?!?
