Title: Help me out...
Post by: jocelyn on Jun 01, 2006, 08:02 PM
Okay...new fan here (thanks Pearl Jam for making this the most awesome opening band ever!)

Can someone explain to me why "One Big Holiday" is the most awesome live song I've heard in a long time?

Seriously, the opening drums reminds me (this is obscure) of "Candy's Room" by Bruce.

Shit....this band is awesome.  I wish I could thank them.

Hey Jocelyn,
You're not the first person to mention One Big Holiday after seeing MMJ support PJ.
It's one hell of a track isn't it?
Do you have any MMJ albums?

Welcome aboard  :)

I now have "z" and a few tracks off of "It Still Moves" and "Split".  I'm also really getting into "Gideon" and "Run Thru".

Nice.

Jocelyn,

you'll need It Still Moves in all its glory. It would be tragic to miss out on what may turn out to be MMJ's seminal release. 8)

Then there's At Dawn and The Tennessee Fire. You've got so much to look forward to discovering ::)

Hi Jocelyn  :)

Loper's right - you're at an exciting stage in your MMJ journey. Enjoy!

I agree with the speakers above. You won't be dissappointed when you get into more of MMJ's stuff.
In my opinion, My Morning Jacket is the best thing ever happened to the music industry/world (and mankind). Of course am I right, folks?

So yeah, Enjoy! ;D

heya, welcome aboard.  I concur, check out anything you can get your hands on.

actually, it was Mahgeetah that was on the beer commercial....Coors Beer, as I recall.

it was actually Aspen Edge beer, which probably isn't made anymore. It was a low-carb light beer that was low on taste.

Thanks for the warm reception!  

 I'll take your advice and get the full albums...seriously, there is nothing cooler than finding a band you're starting to really love that already has a pretty sizable catalog.  

Can't wait to see them again tomorrow night!  (last time this leg of the tour :(
