Not sure if this is "official"...
My Morning Jacket Channels "Evil Urges" and Sells Out RCMH
Fred Mills
January 25, 2008
My Morning Jacket sold out their June 20 show at NYC's Radio City Music Hall in 22 minutes—the kind of ticket sell-outs one usually associates with the likes of the Stones and U2, or Arcade Fire and Radiohead, and not a little ol' band from Kentucky. Meanwhile, as previously announced in this spot, the band will also be on the road this spring and summer, appearing at SXSW in March and Coachella in April.
And if you tune in to Current TV on Jan. 29 at 10pm you can view MMJ's special performance with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra at last year's Lollapalooza through the eyes of their fans during a one-of-a-kind "All Eyes On."
The band's fifth LP will be titled Evil Urges and is set for a June 10 release on ATO. It was co-produced by frontman Jim James and the multi-Grammy winning Joe Chiccarelli (Shins, White Stripes).

You know, if you rearrange the letters it spells Glee Virus.
I think I'm already infected!
cool name....I like it...although they could probably name it "poop" and i would like it.
Pitchfork confirmed it as well....although they also confirmed that Weezer's new album was called "tut ensemble" and that turned out to be bogus. Hopefully they checked their sources this time.
coooool name :D
Love that title!
It also spells "Evi Lurges" when rearranged. This CAN'T be by mistake.
I really do dig the name, though.
"Give Rules" ? :-?
It's both a request and an answer.
Evil Urges...does this mean they gave in and did a badass funk record? :D

It sounds like a Queens Of The Stone Age record.

I slightly doubt they went that path. ;)
How does this sound to you:
The Tennessee Fire
At Dawn
It Still Moves
Z
Evil Urges
In my book, it fits in perfectly. :)
Yeah, it kind of remindes me of what comes next after you start to fall asleep.
Subconscious?
Dreams about having sex with your mom and killing your dad...that sort of shit.
Yeah. It seems like each of the records evoked a time of day. TF in the middle of the night, At dawn in the morning, It Still Moves during midafternoon, Z in the evening.
So Evil Urges would start this series over again?
Exactly, and the eighth album will be the answer to all of our mortal questions.
I don't want to have to wait that long... :'(

Well, your are a lot younger than I am.
QuoteQuoteI don't want to have to wait that long... :'(
Well, your are a lot younger than I am.
And I am a restless teenager, which means that I will be a lot less patient about finding the answer to all my mortal problems. ;)
Don't worry these next three albums will help get you through it.
:)
I was thinking of waiting for the tour to be announced before I planned my trip to the states but if tickets are selling out in 22mins & people in the US can't get hold of them then there's little chance of me getting one.
Every time I think of the new album I think of this one by RATM. Not too sure why...probably because they both have the word Evil in the title? ;)

I think the problems with the RCMH show are kinda a one time deal. I've never seen any issues with any other show...except Hannah Montana.
Evil Urges... I like it. I'm really curious as to what the artwork will be.

That'd sell out in less than 22 minutes!

I hope it's something surreal, like Z. :o

Double word on that O--how's it hangin' man!
hmmm.
HMMMMMMMMM.
i can't decide if it's somebody with desires that they feel guilty about or somebody who's being led to the dark side...
sounds pretty christian rock to me.
There are about 60 anagrams for this word, but Glee Virus... very creepy.
I'm still hoping for the double album. What if they release another album at the same time called "Heavenly Thoughts"? Evil Urges will leak early, and everyone will sucumb to their "evil urges" and download it. Then, out of nowhere, the band drops "heavenly thoughts" on everyone. Boom!
(Someone help me come up with a better name than heavenly thoughts.)

that's an awesome "masterplan"....
Quote(Someone help me come up with a better name than heavenly thoughts.)
How about "Enlightened Actions"?

Or "Divine Intervention"
Excellent, now we're talkin'! Both of those are much better. ;D

Yes indeed! Sadly, the new album of my band will arrive around the time Evil Urges will, so I doubt anyone will be interested :)
I hope the title Evil Urges means we're gonna get get that stripped-down funk record full of Prince-style sex lyrics... Don't let me down, Jim!

Maybe you can get a support slot when they play Holland next time? No wait, they've forsaken The Netherlands, haven't they? Along with Japan, the UK, Australia...pretty much anywhere that doesn't belong in the USA ;)
Whatever happens be sure to post some information regarding your new album :)
