I'm sure this has been covered but bluesky and I couldn't remember when we saw the boys play a couple weeks ago: what's that sampler around Jim's neck during Victory Dance and what's it doing?

I thought it was a giant calculator with which he could keep a running tally of the ratio of glowsticks that hit band members to the number of phones being held up to record shitty video.

I thought he used it to calculate which audience members on the rail he has finger banged.

Being on the rail is about the only way to keep from getting depressed about all of those fucking phones in the air at shows.

Little know fact: Jim is a spreadsheet freak which explains why Crispy and BH nerd out so much about spreadsheets.  They only took up their spreadsheet in hobby once they discovered Jim was into them. Jim uses that box for computations that go directly into a spreadsheet housed in the secret part of their website.

DONT TELL THE NOOBS HOW TO FIND THE SECRET PART OF THE BAND S WEBSITE.

Here's the thread that started the "what's that thing around his neck?" discussion. 

http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,14787.msg262126.html#msg262126 (http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,14787.msg262126.html#msg262126)

This thread is also a classic heated debate around setlist diversity, elitism, how the forum used to be, etc. starring Tracy, Sticky, ewind, and more. Go back a few pages for that trip down memory lane.

Shut the fuck up,  Yac! I haven't seen my morning jacket play in two weeks!  Just shut the fuck up. You're such an elitist!  >:D



(read the link particularly around page 35 before you start yelling at me for being awful to Yac.)

STRIKE TWO!

I remember how great the forum was, before Fully soiled it with her potty mouth. What do you expect from a 40-something high school teacher with three daughters?

Oh, and Sec Walkin is my jam.

By the way,  that argument between MJK,  ewind,  ericm and Tracy was hilarious to read.

I like that the only thing I got involved with in that thread was a sangria recipe.
