Title: MMJ's New Album (Man Hands) makes SPIN's Top 30 of 2011
Post by: el_chode on Jan 24, 2011, 02:39 PM
I heard it's tentatively titled "Man Hands"
• MY MORNING JACKET (http://www.spin.com/articles/spins-30-must-hear-albums-2011?page=0%2C2)

The Louisville, Kentucky, rockers are going back to basics on their sixth record, producing the set themselves in their own recording space -- a converted gymnasium. "This time it's just the five of us; the control room is only separated by a curtain," bassist Tommy Blankenship told SPIN in October (http://www.spin.com/articles/my-morning-jacket-back-basics-new-album). "We're going back to a similar vibe that we had on the first three records. It's definitely more laid back than it's been in a while. [The album has] got that vibe to it where it sounds likes everybody is in the same room. Even if someone is only playing on half of a song, you can still feel their presence."

There is so much sad in this statement. So you don't know what "Master of your Domain" means or "not that there's anything wrong with that"

It gets worse. Here is a list of supposedly "you're unAmerican if you've never watched" shows I'll admit to never have seeing*:

*By never watched, I mean never willingly sat through and paid attention to an episode. I can't say that I've never been in a room where the show has been on or been subjected to like 10 minutes of it. Example: I've had to watch the parts of Saved by the Bell and Fresh Prince involving drugs for school, so I'm familiar with Carlton's dance.

i never really watched 'Friends'
also i think the 90120 should only apply to the seasons when Brenda was in it

Don't worry, chode. I've never watched a full episode of Friends or 90210 OR The Wire. I get some strange looks when people throw out a Friends joke and I have to say, "Never watched it."

I watched an episode of the Wire midway through. My brother, who is a devotee, said that was my mistake. Need to be in on the ground level to watch it because the arcs are so large.

In all seriousness, here are my two thoughts on the new album.

1) The worst song on the album will still be a stellar live performance
2) All I ask is that there's more reverb on this than EU. That was the first thing that jumped out at me on EU.

It seems like a lot of those who "leave" just throw a hissy and "return" a little later, while still lurking all the while.

Yeah, pretty much. Some people didn't come back. K is still gone, which is a shame, cause he's awesome. I'd pretty much guarantee its going to happen again, however severe it may be.

You def didnt give it enough of a chance if you only watched 3 and Id recommend revisiting it sometime. Hell, it took me the whole 1st season just to know every characters name (and you probably are only introduced to like 1/3 of the series show in the first season) and Im pretty sure it did take like 5-6 episodes just for them to hit the ground running with the Barksdale investigation in the first place. I know its not a show for everybody, but you gotta watch at least the 1st season before giving up on it.

More word on the street - there's a secret bonus track at the end of the album. It's a cover of george's answer machine message - "believe it or not, George isn't at home..."

It's apparantly very heavy on the reverb!

The album will be released by Vandelay Industries.

ralph....one of the first conversations I had with you in NYC was about your love of the show. You said when you landed you imagined everything in the city would be like a Seinfeld episode. Ha. That's when I knew you were cool and not some crazy Aussie...  ;)

P.S. Totally saw your twin today at the grocery store. You sure you didn't come back to the States?

I just dropped in for some milk and bread! I'm back home now though... You should have come over and said hi! (seriously though, a return trip in October is 99% likely now for Bridge benefit. Hoping that MMJ play so i can catch up with everyone again.)

It gets worse. Here is a list of supposedly "you're unAmerican if you've never watched" shows I'll admit to never have seeing*:


       
  • Saved by the bell
  • Fresh Prince
  • 90120
  • Friends
  • Seinfeld
  • The Wire
*By never watched, I mean never willingly sat through and paid attention to an episode. I can't say that I've never been in a room where the show has been on or been subjected to like 10 minutes of it. Example: I've had to watch the parts of Saved by the Bell and Fresh Prince involving drugs for school, so I'm familiar with Carlton's dance.
Don't wish to beat a dead horse, but regarding the Wire, there has never been anything like it. It makes Dexter, which I watch faithfully, look like a cartoon. You must watch it from episode one, sometimes using subtitles, and rewinding to make sure you got it. Is is comparable to the greatest movies ever made, only it is 65 hours long, so you REALLY enjoy it.
   As for the new album, sounds very promising.

rincon is spot on.  The Wire is the greatest show of all time.  Start with episode 1 of season 1 and go from there...... you have to pay attention to all of the dialouge in every scene.  It is so good, so real, and  well worth the time commitment.
And as far as the new album.... all these news items and photos from the studio should lead to a great spring.

I watched the first 3 episodes of the wire. SO BORING. I hear after the first half of season 1 it becomes an amazing ass show, but I just couldnt make it through the bore.

Hey, not to change the subject but...

Did you guys hear that the as-yet-untitled 6th MMJ album, due out this spring, is on the SPIN Top 30 list for 2011? 

Now, back to your discussion of The Wire.
