i love how a string of hotel california lyrics has begun....

by the way, how many female mmj fans lurk here? i noticed doctorinthehouse. just wondering, since i first learned about the band through a male friend, and i try to get my girlfriends to listen to it and they don't have quite the same reactions. one of my friends thinks their music is too depressing! thoughts on that?

Hey I hadn't realised how few of us there were until you said that. Few but fabulous, that's us. There's EC, Elizanne, Lyricjunkie who hasn't been around for a while but will be back, Prazangel and a few more.

And now there's you  :D

From one Newbie to another, welcome aboard!

I cant believe one of your firends thinks MMJ are depressing. It's all so wonderfully uplifting.

I think only those in London might get what I am saying here but I think it speaks volumns about MMJ's music: I was travelling home on a number 6 bus the other week going along Oxford Street during rush hour. It was hell. The bus didn't move for ages, there were people arguing with each other about seats and the whole thing was generally terrible. Then Mahgeetah began to play on my walkman. That was follwed by Dancefloors, Golden and Masterplan. Suddenly everything was fine, and I was happy for people to push, shove and shout at each other as we crawled along Oxford Street. I didn't care. Then this grin spread across my face which even surprised me. I got some very odd looks on that bus...

I know that feeling EXACTLY. This music's just the job after a crappy day. The Way That He Sings does it best for me, but the ones you heard that night would be magic too.

[whothrewthecake]

yea for the girls! and yea for feeling the music. i don't know about you guys, but since i discovered this wonderful band, i have to have a daily fix. the other day, i had the band playing in my car instead of mmj, and my passengers were surprised at the change! it's just all so amazing. it makes me feel like no other music can.
