OKONOKOS

I've got my OKONOKOS in the mail today. I'm listening to it right now and I looooooove it. It's amazing, brilliant, fantastic! The cover is so cool, and I especially adore the booklet inside. It's genious! Oh man, I'm in love with these guys, I will always be. They certainly have made it - again! ;D

what's the booklet like? i got the promo listening party copy, and it didn't come with any of the packaging.

It's like short story's of each of the guys as they just died mixed with different live photos kind of like the one on the front cover but on each one of them. The stories are really fun to read, too. And at the inside behind the cd's there's this very nice "old" photographs of the boys with old late 19th- early 20th century clothes. It's sooo sweet! :)

That does sound cool. I'll have to see ho much it costs to determine whether or not I'll buy it.

Anyway, wasn't Okonokos actually filmed almost a year ago? I ask this because in the KCRW interview from Nov. 2005, in the streams section of this website, Jim mentions about filming it at the Filmore, or at least how they wanted to film it with people dressed as goblins or early 20th Century people, etc.

Hopefully Record Theater has it! Along with the new Black Crowes as well.

I haven't listened to MMJ in FOREVER...Now it's fall, and the magic and majesty is back in the music for me.

"How Do You Know" is the album only bonus track from itunes.... from the 30 second sample it sounds great.

Why do I have a feeling its gonna be difficult to collect all the extra okonokos tracks floating around. So far "Strangulation", and "How Do You Know".

Did you notice the running joke in the bios? Hint: look at the description of MMJ in each one.

I don't think it'll be difficult to secure all of the bonus tracks, not even from the Vinyl... We're all friends here, afterall...

Hmm... I don't know. Will take a better look. This sounds cool..

Jim's story is funny considering he used to be a "sandwich artist" at subway before he got into music. Wasn't he actually working at subway when he read about Darla Records?

Exactly why downloading just the songs sucks! :) I can't wait to get home and tear mine open!

Why is everybody dead at 27? I'm 27.....I don't wanna die yet.

"Lowdown" and "I think I'm going to Hell" are great! SO is "Run Thru"....and the whole thing actually.

I've got it on for the first time right now. Gideon is cranking out of my stereo. I'm writing a review for it tonight for my "other" music website.

Sad but true - a lot of great ones died at 27: Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Cobain.
