Introduction to MMJ mix

[subinai]

I have a few friends that have never heard My Morning Jacket. I was going to put together a mix of songs that span the dude's discography. I was going to include: wordless, dondante, steam engine from okonokos, HOTBM, o is the one, strangulation, going to hell etc.

what songs would you guys include on an intro mix?

Depends on your audience, I think.  I gave my principal, a guy in his mid-60s, a mix that is more mellow: The first 3 tracks of Circuital, Golden, Dondante, Steam Engine, Librarian, Just One Thing, etc.  He loves it!  I think if I'd included guitar jams (Lay Low, Run Thru, etc.) or hard rockers (Alum. Park, Anytime, Wonderful Man, Remnants, etc.) he'd have been turn off.

MMJ covers such a wide swath of styles, it can meet many needs and tastes if the mix is tailored properly.

No matter what you have to have Steam Engine on there....also wordless chorus

The Sweatbee's EP,especially if you have the Australian 9 track version,is a really good compilation of their earlier work.
