Title: EYES! Upgrade Your Circuital Experience
Post by: CC on Jun 06, 2011, 06:34 AM
For those that didn't get the different eye colors with their Circuital download,
you can grab the artwork here:
http://www.mymorningjacket.com/circuital/eyes/ (http://www.mymorningjacket.com/circuital/eyes/)

If you need help adding iTunes artwork:
Open iTunes and select the song for which you wish to change/add the artwork. Right-click, and select "Get Info," or choose it from the "File" menu. Click on the "Artwork" tab within the window that pops up. Click "Add" and select the photo from your computer, then click "OK."

I love this! Nice you guys got them up there for the folks that got them downloaded from the vinyl card. I downloaded from the email to get the colors and it looks awesome while transitioning from track to track. Bravo for one other little thing that makes MMJ, MMJ!

Hmm, have all the different colors load with the different tracks but artwork just stays on the color of the Victory dance track. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. What you have to do is when you're at the get info art section you have to click on the album cover, and then delete it so that the different colored ones will show up, and I had to do this for each song. Also thanks for the art work!

So did you delete all green ones and add colors?  I have the electronic download from the deluxe set in mpeg 4 and mp3 both have all the colored ones in "info" but only display in green.  Do I need to delete the colored ones individually?  I'm confused :-\

we talking in itunes? If so, could it be that your little artwork box is set to show selected and not "now playing"? just a guess...

Well I hope everyone can bear with me here...  I had my gardening botany class again tonight, and we were learning about night gardens/plants/insects...

And all I could think about for some of the slides my teacher showed..... was this board, and this thread, specifically hahah

I mean for instance, tell me you would not think of the Circuital eyes if you were in this class and saw a humongous projection of this on the screen:

And then the luna moth, of course!!

And one more thing he showed was a moth called a "European Death-Head Moth," which.... well.........

And I thought....

Ok, done with the moth rant... wasn't sure where else to put it all... the eye thread seemed most likely.  And my Circuital experience does indeed feel "upgraded" in a way  :-X

Sweet newt!!  Glad we're on a similar page!   ;D

I've been fantasizing about making MMJ posters for about a year now, but I REALLY wanna make one with these creature eyes included somehow...........

Whoa woody, when I saw that you mentioned the luna moth, I wondered how you made it to Wakarusa: during a break between songs, Jim mentioned the gigantic luna moth fluttering around him on stage and up in the lights, which we could see clearly. Later on during Steam Engine I think, that moth flew out over the crowd, and I got a good look at it. It was a moment.

Speaking of crazy eyes, check out the sympetrum:

Hahahahahahahah Crispy, YES!!!!!  *fistpump!* Thank you for letting me know about that Wakarusa experience!!  When I say I'm there "in Spirit," I MEAN IT FOLKS!!!   :o  But that is seriously intriguing to me, and confirms in just one more way (amongst the infinite ways already) that these guys are truly a force..... I tend to gravitate toward things that I find "connect the dots" of life, and to me that is just another strange instance of that type of manifestation... and unless someone else who was there heard that and shared it, I wouldn't have caught the quirky connection, so  :dankk2:!!!

"And then I found it-- or did it, find me??"

Hahahah and I think we're still right in check of upgrading our Circuital experience via EYES!!!  ;D  (Though maybe we could start another eye thread to house all these crazy pictures!!)
