Wonderful (The Way I Feel)

[dfay]

Ok so I saw MOF play in Boston last week and Jim played this song. I really liked it but I dont remember ever hearing it before. Does anyone know anything about it?

[Ghosts_on_TV]

It made it's debut right before evil urges came out. I believe Jim said he wrote it after he started feeling better from the pnemonia he had that cancelled the 05 Europe tour. People thought it was going to be on Evil Urges, then it wasn't. Then people thought is was going to be on the mof album, and it isn't. Now we all think it's going to be on jims solo album, which it better!  ;D Great tune, I personally love it.

It is unreleased. He played it for the first time 06.03.2007 at the Rudyard Kipling in Louisville, KY. He explained that he wrote the song after having been discharged from the hospital when he had pneumonia, which happened after the Louisville 05 show at the Palace 11.23.05.  He mostly performs it solo although the Jacket did a version of it when they played the Bridge School 10.27.07.

Do you think it'll be on the solo album?

[aMillionDreams]

No, I doubt it, but who knows?

[Ghosts_on_TV]

I do. It's too good to not be on anything.

I agree, it is better.  I think once he releases his solo album and then the next mmj album; people will start paying more attention to the rest of the band.  His solo album is going to be amazing, but if they progress to the band that they want to be on this next album; people will start to realize why they are the best band out there.

Judging by his reaction at the MOF last night, I think people are starting to get it. This is a very biased, stereotyping view, but there were a lot of people who, based solely on the way they dressed, look like they'd be more inclined to buy the next 50 Cent album and All American Rejects (read: douchey fratboys) who seemed to be there only for JJ. They also kept yelling One Big Holiday over and over and over, which got really f*cking annoying.

Still, I remember reading an interview after EU dropped, I think it was in Spin, and the band said there is a shit load of B-sides yet to be revealed and that a really hard part of releasing the album was decided what exactly to put on it.

I heard this guy. I wanted to kill him. Ahh, the perks of being in Guitar Hero.

I also had little wannbe Mrs. Oberst in the row behind me....

That's what I was gonna say...it's like, "hey, we know you just got Guitar Hero, but SHUT UP"

I read that.  I'm really excited to hear those songs if they are ever released.  I feel like Evil Urges needed to be made to.  That album is like a snake shedding it's skin.

I agree, and I think it's the same interview where Jim hinted at being somewhat dissatisfied or frustrated with the final product or the mixing of it. Something hinting towards the title track was actually cut, which makes me wonder what the song Evil Urges really is. And they need to embrace the final product regardless.

Okay, i get real sick of people lumping people who dress like "frat boys" in with the fratastics who act like douchers. I guess i dress like that too, but i get sick of the hipster asshole who stares at me when i am at ANY concert with this condesceding why are you here look. I love indie music as a whole, and MMJ has been top of my list since ISM. yes, there are other people out there that have known about MMJ that dont work at Good records. every scene has their douchers.

You invalidate your argument in that I look like a hipster. I look like a meathead jock.

But if you show up wearing your flat brimmed yankees hats and constantly yell "One Big Holiday" and "YEAH JIMMY" with no regard to your fellow concert goers, you might be a fratboy douchebag. And there is a history of this influx really getting to people, such as NYE moshpits and these assholes throwing glow sticks at the band during their set.

That was ridiculous on New Years Eve... C'mon, it's My Morning Jacket... save that shit for Metallica...

There was a group of people standing just to the right of me, so I couldn't see Jim at all, and when I stood up, people behind me were just like "sit the fuck down." fuck that, seriously.

its not what you look like but how you act. unfortunately how you look can sometimes get you associated with the assholes

didnt know you were a meathead jock. I was thrown off by your comments, which  sounded like they came from someone with an ironic t shirt and a fedora on. but i hear you, i dont like ANYONE acting like a spare and yelling that shit. but what do we expect when they play for 10Kk people? the days of having a small venue with 800 good MMJ fans may be over.

I'm not anything in particular, but I've been called that as well as a dirty jew (I'm really a hairy italian, but I can see the confusion). The point is that there are always outliers to a crowd, but by and large when a certain crowd acts a certain way they are going to get stereotyped, it is not unreasonable to be apprehensive of them.

Either way, popularity doesn't have to equal shitty fans. Plenty of big bands can hit arena-size and not be totally overrun. And it's not unreasonable to expect a certain level of decorum. Trash talking such people is a great way to feel like you're doing a lot even if you're accomplishing very little.

I think MMJ just has a strange mix because they pull from hippies, hipsters, some metalheads who get off on guitar riffs, and they've got the mainstream flow coming in now too.

Saying the old school fans should suck it up because a bunch of douchebags bought the latest guitar hero is symptomatic of the problem though, is it not? It's basically why people resent them to begin with: they come in, say "we're here now, deal with us" and then open a mosh pit during Bermuda Highway

So wuunnnnder fullllll.  Wonderful the way I feel.
