Your first song...

[Bam_Bam]

What was the first Jacket song that you heard?

For me:
Wordless Chorus

But when i really HEARD them it was Off the Record.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Lowdown@Bonnaroo '03.

[tomEisenbraun]

The legendary Conan O'Brien performance of "One Big Holiday".

[whothrewthecake]

i listened to golden on headphones at waterloo records when i was thinking about buying it still moves. THE REST IS HISTORY.

[aMD]

I think it was it's about twilight now.  but the first one that really sank in was nasheville to kentucky from the This is NOT America documentary

[BH]

Mahgeetah was being played on Dark Side of the Radio.  It Still Moves was being ordered 3 minutes later.

[doughty]

whothrewthecake - you're an Austinite!

Waterloo had Chocolate & Ice at a listening station (heard 'em thru headphones the first time as well) - and that was it for me...

[Angry Ewok]

Their opening song at Sloss Furnace was Off The Record... I hadn't heard a chord of their word until seeing them live.

[dragonboy]

I ordered AD after reading an article about the band in Mojo.
I'd not heard anything until the CD arrived so my first song was At Dawn.

At Dawn...I was in love before the song was over.

[ManNamedTruth]

One Big Holiday on Conan. I would like to thank Conan personally if i ever got the chance.

[red]

Does anyone have a link to that Conan performance?  I'd love to see it again.

[TEO]

"OBH" on Conan, but really fell in Love with them while listening to "Lowdown".

[Jernigan]

"I will be there when you die" was mistakenly labled as
God speed you Black Emperor on a MP3 player I had. That was the very first song I've ever heard from the Jacket.

When I did the Godspeed search, I relaized it wasn't them.
So I figured it out, and the first album I purchased was "Z"
and I then started to procure each and every recording I could possibly find.

[Chills]

At Dawn

 :o

It was weird and different and  there was a magical creature singing to me from outer space.

Later, I found out that Jim James was actually a wise and talented earthling who happened to love reverb.

[Coltrane]

The Way That He Sings........


i was hooked. immediately. and forever.

[DuDess]

Mine was "I Will Be There When You Die" because a friend wrote this line down on my arm and I didn't know what it meant till I searched that line in Google. and there it was: My addiction to my morning jacket  began at that point :)

How cool is that?!!
See if I don't try my best to write MMJ lyrics on the arms of random persons I meet from this day fourth!
