Randomest place you heard a Jacket song?

[wellfleet]

Yo, I was at Lane Bryant trying to find a bra that  fits my otherwise not Lane Bryant-y body and I heard "Anytime" and shouted to my husband, "oh my god, it's the Jacket" and that was awesome...
Ever walk into Wal-Mart and hear Off the Record or something?

That's weeeeird, wellfleet.  Why just yesterday I was calling a place that manufactures cds, and I got the secretary, and I said "Hey, waaaaait a minute, that's Into the Woods!"  And she was like, "Um, yeah whatever, here's (so and so)"  So I'm talking to the dude, and then I heard Anytime, so I knew they were playing Z, and so I said "Hey, you guys are listening to My Morning Jacket!"  And then we started talking about how much we love them, and then I got a deal!!!!

Thank you My Morning Jacket!  Just for being.  :)

they played part of "Off the Record" on Best Week Ever on VH1

[SiOuxTribe]

Honestly, it was in a dream of mine.  It involved Rod Stewart shooting a pelican, a hunt for a shark, dead koi fish, kids using dryer sheets to smell nice, among other things.  I ended up at a casino and in the elevator Bermuda Highway was playing (ironically he was singing about silly dreams...) and in my dream I hadnt heard music in 5 years so I started to cry over the power of Jim's voice.  I woke up.

anyway, back to the topic at hand. Here at George Mason University, I went into the radio station ( a friend was touring me around in it) and i was about to ask if they had any MMJ to play.....before I even said anything the lady was putting in Z and I basically flipped out and then It Beats 4 U played in the hallway outside.  It rocked socks.

you have very trippy dreams!  :)

coming out of a guys car that drove past as i was walking down the street in san francisco.  golden was playing.  this was a couple of summers ago.

I saw the video for Off The Record on a Japanese music channel just after it was released.
Not that strange you might argue but I was very surprised at the time.

Slightly different, I was in HMV yesterday when I saw a Japanese girl with a copy of the Acoustic EP in her hand! I wanted to go over & talk to her about the Jacket but was worried she might have thought I was hitting on her so I didn't.
I really regret it now  :-[

[wellfleet]

i  :-* HMV...
well, coz i used to work there... but i really really really think it's awesome. i was sad to leave it before Z came out because i would have pushed the hell out of it.
aaawww... i miss work...  :o

Hey Wellfleet, long time no see!
I have to be honest, I prefer independent record stores but most of them over here are specialist shops like vinyl or hip-hop only etc.
I did find one very cool Heavy Metal CD store - my wife waits outside when I shop there  ;D

I heard Anytime at Old Navy at Christmas time.  That was funny.  

[SiOuxTribe]

you have very trippy dreams!  :)

Seriously! That has to be the strangest dream I have ever had...ever.  This one really shook me, I never have woken up from a dream feeling so odd!  I definately went to anthropology the next day just writing down the dream and drawing crude pictures really fast before I forgot any spicey details.

I heard it at Old Navy as well...  Must be on their playlist.

I heard it when I was showering.........

[aMillionDreams]

When I went home for Christmas to a small town in eastern Kentucky, I was drinking in a small ass bar and Off the Record came on.  I don't if they had it on the radio or the jukebox but it was a surreal moment for me.

[ali]

oddly enough i dreamed about mmj last night - it was really hot here last night so that might have had something to do with it.. really not that wacky a dream but here goes

i was sitting watching rage (a quality music video program) when all of a sudden a video for i will be there when you die comes on - mostly just jim sitting there, singing into the camera, but he had some weird bushy-moustache thing going on, and it was a new video (even though i distinctly remember thinking that the song was from tennessee fire, which is from quite a while ago)... weird how the subconscious mind works!!

[ben grimm]

Mentioned it last week but it's still wierd hearing Gideon advertising "new drama for Monday nights on Itv1".

[slappymcnoodles]

I heard "off le record" while walking past this hollister-esque store called Jimmy'z. then i passed it again a couple of days ago and heard Kissing the lipless" by the shins. then it was ruined by hearing this shitty screamo song right after it.

I heard it when I was showering.........

You are not alone.  47% of Canadians shower to At Dawn almost every morning.  Truth.

Only 3% of Albertans do so, hence the TERRIBLE election stats out there.

I heard "One Big Holiday" on the pilot episode of what seems to be a now defunct ABC show called "Injustice" on a DVD that my wife picked up from a colleague at her work.

Speaking of Juke Boxes, I have been away from the bar scene for awhile (two kids under the age of 4 will do that-I just get drunk at home now) So anyway two weekends ago we went to the wineries and then ended up at a little hole in the wall bar.  They had this digital jukebox that you could download songs on.  Well, it contained standard songs that cost about 50 cents each, but if you searched for off the wall stuff you had to pay about a buck for the song.  Well shit.  You know the first thing I did was type in My Morning Jacket and what do you know but the entire ISM, Z and Chocolate and Ice albums came up.  Of course my first thought was Cobra so I could get my money's worth but before you know it, I'm lining them up like there's no tommorow. This is not a good thing.  

Drunk+MMJ+Pocket Full of One Dollar Bills=Broke

About $20 later, the whole place was looking at me like I had a hole in my head.  "What is this music?" ,they thought.

Anyway, word of warning.  Stay away from the magic music box.  It's worse than a strip bar.
