Loving this. I haven't heard the rest of the album, but this only amplifies my excitment for its release!

I would just like to say that whomever this person that Jim loves is, is a real goddamn hero, gang.  I bet they smell like Windsong and Honeydew, and can recite Ezra Pound while baking quiche and drinking bourbon. I hope at some point on the tour, we get to meet said individual and salute their obvious charm and wherewithal, while Jim gives them smooches to our salutes.

If I find said individual, I will buy them drinks and lather him/her with the finest Morrocan oil, and slice sheets of the finest tofurky gyros for their eating pleasure.

I love the Saturday Night Fever suit in the Instagram picture. A BIG improvement over the polyester brown pants and vest. He looks as lovely as the song sounds.

I dunno know about all that...what I do know is that this is what happens when you "BING" image search the term "Meat Mitts".

Bing is way hipper than google on account of its total lack of mathematical code, and therefore, more pleasurable random selection.

It would be amazing if Biffle turned out to be a band member, haha.  I know this is not the case, but an interesting thought.

Do you know who it is then Johnny?

Not liking this at all. I will give another 20 listens for sure, but I just don't get the sound on these two songs.

Actually, Tom and Bo work at large indoor children's playground facilities, under the names "Striker" and "Geoff". Pat is a volunteer pyromaniac.  Jim teaches waterless swimming lessons, and Carl just watches reruns of Judge Mathis while pruning fake plastic trees.

I feel like he teaches waterless swimming lessons year round sometimes.

how could you even see them? with all that fancy hair in your eyes??

mamaK-any female hands that touch Jim's hands on stage automatically get called man hands--it's like a right of passage for being a female MMJ fan..go ahead, drink the bitter, jealous kool-aid and become one of us..

If it's any consolation Christine, Val and I were at the bar after Asbury and I had the honor of buying Danny Clinch a beer, Nicole came up and couldn't have been nicer. She and Val have a mutual friend, in their conversation Nicole mentioned her "boyfriend". I think you are safe lol :)

I'm liking it more and more, particularly the arrangement that was performed on Jimmy Kimmel last night.
