Title: Jim James is What???
Post by: ImagesAndSound on Jan 09, 2007, 10:53 PM
I might sound like an idiot asking this, I never really look into a band's background. But just as I was reading in the OKONOKOS booklet, I saw that it says he's dead.

Is it true? I can't find any articles on it on the internet.

That was a joke right?!!

If not, at only 42 posts Images&Sounds probably best to just make a new identity for yourself, don't tell anyone that it's you & forget you ever asked this question.

I'm going to make a request that we delete this thread and pretend it never happened.  I understand the mistake I just don't like reading "Jim James is Dead?"  everytime I open this section.....It Freaks Me Out!!!!!!  I start having flashbacks to the day I found out Kurt Cobain shot himself.

I really hope you're joking... and I hope most of your post have been jokes as well. I'm all for a good laugh but how can you think the band is still touring if they are all dead?

While I'm at it, quit asking questions like "what tracks are on sweatbees?" (search google, or the music tab above for that matter) or here's another winner from you... "at the end of wonderful man, does Jim say "a place to suck your nuts"?...

come on.

I could, but I'm not like that. Sometimes I overlook things. This was just a huge overlook.

So you overlooked the fact that OKONOKOS has been out for several months and yet we have been talking about the band's shows in 75% of the posts on this forum during those several months.  Riiiiiiighhhhht.

I've said it before , most naive poster ever. Don't you think this board would be littered with discussions if he was dead? Do you think they'd still be playing shows if the whole band was dead?

But you pretty girls don't NEED to count, which makes your attempts, IMHO, so admirable... You could have just twirled a locke of hair around your finger and typed something to the effect of...

"leik, JIM JAMES IS ALIVE STOOPID ASS"

woah.  I agree with dragonboy.  Start with a new identity and try not to ask such dumb questions next time.  I try my best to make newbies feel welcome and answer their questions, but seriously dude, this should be END GAME for you!

Post by: realdeal on Jan 10, 2007, 03:29 PM
so, exactly how did Jim come up with the name My Morning Jacket?

Does anyone know why both Jim and Patrick's hair is brown?

I think some people call it a "F.A.Q." or something like that, ours will just be called "Jim James is What???"

I second this idea.

There's no such thing as a stupid question...

...but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

Speaking of FAQs, I was going to try to spearhead this idea back before Christmas and I completely forgot about it. Maybe I'll start a new thread for that.

Title: Re: Jim James is What???
Post by: sweatboard on Jan 10, 2007, 05:05 PM
This will be our first bullet.

- Q.  I was thinking about asking a question about "My Morning Jacket" but I was afraid it might be "Stupid", are there such things as stupid questions?

-A.  I might sound like an idiot asking this, I never really look into a band's background. But just as I was reading in the OKONOKOS booklet, I saw that it says Jim James is dead.  Is this true?  


or we could use that stuff that Angry Ewok was talking about as the "answer" part.  Either way.

Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Brian Jones, Robert Johnson, Pigpen, and now JJ? So who the Hell was the imposter I saw at Clowes on 11/25? Or is that a dumb question?  ;)

Didn't you hear? Jim is dead! He died in a car crash. They gave some random guy plastic surgery to make him look like Jim. If you look really close in some of the Z pictures you can see the scar. Also if you play It Beats 4 U bacwards you can hear him saying "Jim Is dead, man, miss him" ;)

Hmm. I seem to vaguely remember something very similar, if not exactly like this being done before, somewhere in time. Hmmmmmmm.

i don't like jokin' about jim being dead.  it makes me feel creeeeeepy.

i thought this thread was going to be a fill in the blanks kind of thing, like...

jim james is [wicked]
or
jim james is [a bearded man]
or
jim james is [a man with the same name as his first and last]

etc....
