My students are wondering why I'm going to the 7:38 mark of IWSYS.  We listened to it.  I understand.  They are confused.

Yes! This was one of the moments that completely sold me when I started listening to MMJ, and part of what makes that song one of my top favorites. Strangely enough, it reminds me of Frank Zappa's Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up.

Also, that bit was chosen for the intro music for the It Still Moves show at T5, which I thought was absolutely perfect.

Ever have a moment from a song etch something permanently into your mind?

It was sometime in the fall of 2003 - one of those nights where the air is an entirely neutral temperature. A bunch of us were on the lawn of our first college apartment, in various states of mind after an evening of illegal BBQing (we had a charcoal grill on a 2nd floor enclosed porch), and I just remember feeling the grass between my toes and thinking as the "outro was on, "this is the right song for the moment". I'll never forget it.

Anyone know the chords or tabs for this part? I'm gonna sit at my keyboard today and try to figure it out.

from 7:28--> 8:25 It sounds like a spaceship full of soul is crashing towards the earth at unfathomably slow speeds, crashing its cymbals of panic and melodic beeps of warning and finally succumbs to spirit that mmj embodies, the brake lever is reared back with righteous joy, stopping the ship inches before impact, letting out all that potential energy into one deafening screech of splendor. only just an opinion of course :)
-my regards to the magic that is mmj

I just got married. We were going to do Lowdown but wanted to cut past the "cheating" part of the song but it proved to be a hard edit.

Instead, we used Golden, and I made a really good "wedding edit" of the song to cut it down to like 2.5 minutes instead, because we didn't want to bore the shit out of our guests by just watching us - plus my mom requested a 7 minute song so I had to negotiate for time

I love it!  It's been my ringtone for quite some time now.  Glad to see it get the recognition it deserves.

I really never will forget when this came on at T5. I had one of the biggest smiles on my face and I realized that at that moment in time I was exactly where I was supposed to be. It felt absolutely perfect
