Taking him and my wife to their first MMJ concert this summer and he asked me to burn a disc for a long drive he has today. It was SO difficult as what I, a lover of MMJ for a long time, likes is much deeper than what you originally hooks you.
I also wanted a handful of Circuital songs since he'll hear plenty of them at the show.
These first 4 songs are ones he already had on his iPhone so I didn't burn them:
Golden
OBH
IB4U
Librarian
So, here's what I burned him:
Circuital
Outta My System
Black Metal (he really liked System & Black Metal when he previewed on iTunes)
Lowdown
Phone Went West
Mahgeetah
Run Thru (I clicked on this and it started blaring through my speakers. He said, "ohh I like that)
Steam Engine
Bermuda Highway (Acoustic Citsouca)
Wordless Chorus
Off The Record
Gideon
I Will Sing You Songs
Smokin From Shootin (maybe an odd choice but I love it)
It's so fun getting people into bands you love!
A friend of mine kept me asking about MMJ ever since I was tweeting with the #amexcircuital tag and I promised him I'd make him a MMJ mix, and forgot about it. Thx!
I'll be more single-friendly because I *shrugs* haven't listened to all the discography yet. :-\
Glad I reminded you 8) .
My brother got back last night and said he listened to the cd 5 times (3 on the way down and 2 back)! He loved everything but really liked Lowdown, PWW, Run Thru, and I Will Sing You Songs.
MMJ has a new fan.
Hehehe nice job mate I've done that a couple of times :)
So far i've converted 5 people :D
I'm counting four converts off the top of my head: friend, roommate, 2 ex gf's. :beer:
Today my friend gave me his flashdrive and told me to put as much jacket on it for him as I want! I was surprised as usually my friends are telling me to stop showing them MMJ!
my mom, whos almost 60, has recently become a huge fan. its weird, cause shes not a fan of rock and roll at all (though she was when she was younger). shes becoming almost a bigger freak than I am or my brother is, its funny. Shes obsessed with Circuital (the album) and her favorite song is Victory Dance. I'm taking her to her first Jacket show in tuscaloosa in august. My brother made her a mix that I believe is all the rock-ier and more famous songs (OBH, Dondante, Gideon, Evil Urgers, etc..) and now I made her this album because I think its more up her alley... Gotta ease her into it...
