Title: This LONG silence means 1 thing. They've split up.
Post by: fortbethel on Nov 26, 2007, 09:38 PM
Sorry gang but I'm getting that vibe. Most bands give their fanbase updates on how the new record sessions r going but all we've heard 4 the past what 8 months is that Jim's making a cameo in that Dylan film. I love MMJ & don't want to offend but brace yourselves.  the silence is wierd.

Surely they didn't play the Bridge School Benefit only to impress Neil Young.  And what about those new song/songs - who needs 'em anyways?  

Yeah.  No.

There was no update during the recording of "Z" from what I remember. No big deal. Leave them be.

They deserve some downtime.

Amen to downtime!  They are humans with family and wives and girlfriends and friends and pets, just like the rest of us.  Give them space for the creative process.  And the space to be human.  They deserve a life too.

They will pop up soon I am sure.  Remember, ACL was supposed to be the last gig of the year.  And then Bridge School and I'm Not There concerts presented themselves.  No doubt, once the new album comes out, they will hit the road.

Corey, u r right on mate. I didn't think about just taking a year off to do whatever. They do work their asses off when they tour. I'm just frustrated 4 a new MMJ fix. No offense folks.

It's a good thing you're not a Tool fan...they take 4 years between records without updates.

If you were paying closer attention you'd know they are in the studio in New York right now working on the new album.

You are speaking to me on this one.  My two favorite bands (MMJ and TMV) have been out of commission for a little while.  Although 2008 is looking beautiful....The Bedlam in Goliath will be out in January from the Volta, and I'm feeling some Jacket coming on too.  Woohoo!

Patience is a virtue that I grasp a little better with each MMJ hiatus.  Hehe.

MMJ is broken up and Kiss is retired.  

Its hardly been 8 months.  They played ACL less than 3 months ago, Bridge School a month ago, and the I'm Not There show.  The band is featured in the fall issue of Magnet in which they say they've been recording a new album which is due in the Spring of 08.

I Know this isn't the place to discuss this shit but I have to say, download their new single Wax Simulcara from itunes you won/t regret.

The Mars Volta is playing the Bill Graham Civic (in SF)  on New Years Eve. We'll definitely see more of them in 2008...and I have no doubt that 2008 will be a monster year for My Morning Jacket.
