okay, so i'm listening to the vinyl of this album right, in all it's jello red glory. And i'm listening to By My Car. and damn. if you don't have this, buy it, because it is amazing. Seriously, you can't get this version of By My Car anywhere but on the vinyl issuing of this album. And it's RED vinyl. how awesome.

oh man. thank you Jim James.

I was wondering if anyone had ever transferred track 6 into MP3... cause I really want to hear it.

[tomEisenbraun]

hmmm...i'll have to see if my stereo will do that. my needle and stereo ain't so great though.

[dragonboy]

Man, I'd LOVE to hear that track!
Don't have a record player  :-/

[Angry Ewok]

If anyone can make it work, I'll be loving long time. It's one of the very few tracks that I've never-ever heard...

[tomEisenbraun]

so it's now round about 7:15am and i still haven't gone to sleep because i woke up yesterday around 4pm and i've decided that instead of trying to sleep after the sun is risen, i'll pull myself up by my boot straps and start today a little early.

I will hate life tonight.

But right now I've got At Dawn on and life is good because I'm playing this album as it was initially meant, and this makes me happy indeed.

Probably the wrong place to post that, but screw it.

[tomEisenbraun]

oh and ewok, I have a really old and somewhat fusted (yes "fusted". mark that as my invention of a word for today. fuzz + busted = fusted) needle, os the quality really ain't so great. Plus all the equipment is about twice as old as I am (my dad had it in college...probably predates me by about ten years, so we'll call it 28) so the fidelity is a bit lacking. ain't so sharp and a little fuzzy and i'm very wary about trying to clean 'er up because i don't know how to do it. if you'd like my somewhat lo-fi ripping of the song, i sure can do it though...you may have to wait a little while for someone else to post it.

[Angry Ewok]

Whatever it takes! I'm sure I speak for alot of people when I say I'd love to hear it, and I don't mind if the quality ain't so hot... afterall, it's My Morning Jacket. The fuzziness may add a little extra feel to it, heh.

Hey - it couldn't be anymore lo-fi than, say, some of the At Dawn Demos, right?

 :P

Speakings of... Why hasn't someone put up a little website offering the ultra-rarities of MMJ up for download or at least stream? The Conan O Brian performances? The Vinyl-only tracks converted to MP3? The best Lil' Billy performances? Some of the ultra-rare covers like Mother and Behind that Locked Door, Blue Moon and Girl From the North Country?

I guess there's lawsuits and all to worry about, though.

[tomEisenbraun]

surely you've seen Deanna's offerings, have you not? they would be more than formidable, i would think. and archive.org's got a shitload of stuff. i'll work on By My Car in a couple hours when my roomie wakes up.

[tomEisenbraun]

recording is in process

The vinyl sound is magic, as is the song, as is this band!

Hey Tom, thanks for the song. You might want to blow the dust off your needle there chief  ;)

BTW, you're sleeping till 4 PM and you're still awake at 11 AM? You sure you're not smoking a ton of weed and/or drinking? Those hours sound very familiar too me...

PS  Did you get my last e-mail about my work?

[Angry Ewok]

Beautiful song! So glad I got to hear this! The MP3 sounds great, too - I love the little spots of hiss and crackle from the vinyl...

You rock! Love you long time!

[tomEisenbraun]

Haha, nah, it's not booze or weed....just shitty planning on my part...

i think i jjust need a new needle, this one is probably as old as the record player.

i did get your email. i have no clue why i never responded.

[whothrewthecake]

thanks for posting that, tom. it's nice to have it on my comp.

[Chills]

Thanks Tom, it sounds real good.

[dragonboy]

Man that's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks very much Tom!  :)

[sweatboard]

Nice Work Tom.  I love having it on my computer, it will be making many apperances on mix cd's in the future now.

[tomEisenbraun]

i'm sorry the quality's not better. i wish i had a better needle. but i guess it's great for what it is, it just sucks that it breaks up toward the end.
