Quote from page 69 of newest Spin magazine with Pearl Jam on the cover:
Spin: You're totally going to quit My Morning Jacket now, aren't you?
Oberest: Make the call.
James: Already did.
Spin: Let's get this straight, for the search engines: Jim James has left My Morning Jacket?
James: Yeah. It's already done. There were a lot of tears.
Is this for real? I will be heartbroken if true.
Rumors of MMJ's death have been greatly exaggerated.
In other words, no.
It's more serious.
Way more serious than that.
Play "His Masters Voice" backwards and you'll hear those creepy tones at the end really say
"Yim is dead. Yim is dead. Yim is dead"

It's a joke. Read the whole article.

it was a fun ride while it lasted.
all good things must come to an end.
saranara.
I believe we may need further press release, but I just finished reading the article last night. Uber-lack of sleep.
I saw them at Bonnaroo 2006 and again in Myrtle Beach. I had tickets to see them in Chicago but Jim fell off stage in Ohio which caused the my show to get moved to Christmas when unfortunately I can't ditch family.
Regardless, not sure what to do if my favorite band splits up right now. Not to say I won't at least purchase "Monsters of Folk" but what a lame name to trade My Morning Jacket for....
Hopefully we will see an open press release.
Yep, im pretty disappointed right now. After EU though, it might be for the best. ;)
I don't buy it. I've seen other interviews in the past that he said some things, but did it just to fuck with people... I think.
Come on folks this is just a joke. The best of MMJ has yet to come.
How can people not see that this is sarcasm? I mean seriously?

Well I posted the entire portion of the text that addressed Jim quitting.
If you can pick the sarcasm out of that, then I am sorry that I was so stupid and wasted everybody's time.
Youre not stupid, MMJ is done.
It was a nice 3 or 4 years while it lasted!
SARCASM!

I think he's being sarcastic.

I typically do not however Pearl Jam is on the cover this month. ;D
"Did you compromise your other projects by bringing in your songs and using them on this record?
JAMES: Not at all. When I wrote the songs that would end up being on this, I was also writing songs for My Morning Jacket. Songs just fall out, and I start putting them in categories. There are songs that come out where I'm instantly like, "This would be ideal for My Morning Jacket." And then there are other ones that are a question mark. Besides, the guys in My Morning Jacket are all really ego-less. We've made it a rule that we can all do whatever we want when we're not doing the band"
MMJ without Yim is like..well...a day without sunshine :'(

exactly- magic like that doesn't just end.
...im kinda glad they're over. The only shitty part is, now i need to find a new forum. I hear Kings Of Leon has a good one.

but in other parts of the interview he talks about writing songs for MMJ and how the band is supportive, etc. it shows a lot that you're concerned, but just read the whole article (and a few others) it'll put your mind at ease ;-) no one is meaning to be mean to ya.

even if the band is over, the forum will last forever. the band has already promised that in another interview.
It's Yoko's fault.
QuoteIt's Yoko's fault.
I KNEW IT.
when i read this article a few weeks back i laughed out loud at that part. not sure how you couldn't tell he's joking. they are all messing around the entire interview.
i should have went to that last show when i had the chance.
r.i.p. mmj.
they will be missed.
If you don't know this already, Hallahan said that it was a hiatus. They are not dead and will never be gone. They are the best band around and I will admit MOF is a great listen but it doesn't come close to the spine-bending shreds, soul-blasting percussion, and international funksmanship that MMJ is and will always be.
Quit bringing up the rumor that they are done because its false.
Man, some are definitely having a harder time with this than others. Learning to cope can be very trying...

it's not really a rumor when the leader of the band says it's over. it's just a question of it being a joke or not.
I seriously can't believe this is still being debated. Come on people.
Its still being debated because it is an astonishing, sudden, and tragic sequence of events :'(
It's all Juliette Lewis's fault. Bitch.

Oh shit, shes going to brainwash Jim with her scientologist mantrap!
Little do we know, this honestly could be the end of MMJ
