Kick ass!   A great cause and a nice diverse group of tunes as well!  Can't wait to hear the Ministry.  I listened to Land of Rape and Honey the other day while riding my mountain bike and I think I almost caused my heart to explode.

Shoot!  I thought I had the scoop on this and was all excited to post it.  You only beat me by eight hours...lol.

So happy they decided to include Gideon and Just One Thing.  Two stellar versions of two stellar songs.  I was at the show and it's great to relive MMJ's awesome performance, even if it's just the two songs.

Also highly recommended are the two Trent Reznor (NIN Unplugged...If you can imagine that) tracks and the Tom Waits/Kronos Quartet tracks...they stole the show in '07 (along with MMJ, of course...;-).

I was at the Trent Reznor performance and even though I'm not a huge NIN fan it was amazing.
His day 2 set I actually got to watch from backstage which was really cool.
So much fun MMJ stuff lately - the Preservation Jazz Hall compilation, Bridge School, American Dad (can't wait for the iTunes EP) and apparently they have started work on their 6th album too.

Seconded on the One Big Holiday...such an awesome performance of that song.

The Norah Jones cover of Jesus, Etc. is labeled right on the iTunes store and the Bridge School website....not sure where this article got the title from.
