Stolen as the war begun, this time your soul is my one.

I don't know If anyone else has heard the studio version of smoking' but it doesn't have near the emotion or electricity as the NPR recording. Does anyone else think its missing energy?

If by "energy" you mean reverb, then yes.

Quotemy current favourite eu track is probably the one that runs between the netherlands and belgium.  it's hard to pick, though.

Priceless!!!

From day one since hearing the SXSW cast, Thank You Too is still my favorite.
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

Good Intentions!!!! :P

Second Place - Touch Me Pt. 2

Third Place - Smokin From Shootin!

Runners up who may soon crack the top: Evil Urges, The Librarian(I would do anything to shoot the video for that, more like a short film!)
Don't let your silly dreams,
fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.

I don't think I have a favorite yet.   But The Librarian is quite interesting to me because it reminds me of 70's sugar pop like Bread or America.   When I saw MMJ on the Z tour here in Atlanta they played a Bread song as an encore so I think perhaps they have a thing for the genre.

Does anyone know what Bread song they played?

Huh, I just listened to this again and noticed the line mentioning "Karen of the Carpenters" which falls right into my 70's sugar pop reference.

I think this is a very common gripe people have about studio versions of songs of which they've first heard the live version.  How often does a recorded version of a song have as much energy as a live version?  I'd say more often than not, live versions definitely win out on the energy front.  That said, I just listened to the studio verje of Smokin' and it rocked me balls.

I'm not crazy about the laughing and the backing vocals.

Was it "Make it with You"?

Jim played an amazing acoustic solo of this song along with "Off the Record".  
There's a great interview to go along with it.

To the OP, my favorite song ... it's a toss up between Librarian and Touch Me Part 2.
