Woohoo! What energy!!! Matt was all over the place! there was the usual curse of blue cats with the sound messing up at one point (because matt is a wildman dancer knocking over everything in his path) Nice turnout with lots of out-of-towners.
quite an early show (9 pm) so I hope people didn't miss the show that tried to come.
Again, I will try to sort out in my head what songs I remember:

Circus
Walk you home
mosis ptosis (sp?) <--i hope the "(sp?)" is added to the title on the cd
Ttwimtb
million ways to sing the blues
GSRNR
darkroom
leave it all behind
exorcising demons
thursday

The usual opener and finisher are in the correct order, but I can't remember the middle.

posters everywhere said "9:30" and they NEVER start right on time. i arrived at 9:35 and i could hear them finishing thursday from outside the club. as much as i wanted to hear my morning jacket, i was so bummed that i didn't want to wait in line and pay the 10 bucks. i talked to matt as they were loading stuff up and he said that they started them early and they didn't know why. bluecats is on the bad list.

Man that sucks! I was afraid that would happen to someone. I don't know why they made them play so early. People started showing up at 7:30 and doors didn't open until 8, so blame it on the restless early birds.
I am sorry you didn't get to come, but I sang your signature during million ways to sing the blues! I was hoping you were there singing it, too.

Any My Morning Jacket thoughts?

we conferenced and came up with this as an almost accurate setlist (even the order):

circus
the way it's meant to be
me and the skirts
leave it all behind
walk you home
mosis ptosis
darkroom
demons
million ways
GSR'nR
thursday

the show was really good. i think i tried to make up for the absence of the usual home show crowd noise all by myself, because my throat hurts today. i thought the setlist was an excellent opening band setlist, especially to an audience that may not be familiar with them. the technical problems sucked (however, i don't know if you can call matt rocking out so hard that he knocks an entire amp to the floor a "technical problem"), but they recovered nicely. the new merch is nice, though i still don't really understand what exactly that is on the front of my t-shirt.

i found my morning jacket to be enjoyable. i guess i was expecting more. i probably would have enjoyed them 10x more if i could see more than the tips of their masses or hair flying around (i was on the balcony). someone else would certainly be better qualified to give an opinion on their set.

overall, well worth the drive. i'm all ready for thursday.

I would just like to point out my severe pride that everyone is using my spelling for Mosis Ptosis.

I just used the spelling for Ptosis because it was one of my favorite vocabulary words for a neuroanatomy class I took. It means "drooping caused by lack of muscle tone". It usually refers to droopy eyelids or mouths due to cranial nerve damage.

I'm sure everyone was dying to know that.

that definition could put a very different spin on the lyrics "you can do it mosis ptosis, you're a big girl now / you can do it mosis ptosis, you don't need me to show you how". hopefully a band member will read your spelling on the messagebaord and then they will adopt it. surely your pride would be heightened to even greater severity when it makes its way to an album cover. plus, i'm quite fond of the spelling, too.

i think this is my favorite out of the new batch of songs. it's followed closely by "love is golden." then "chemical head" and then "failed attempt" (which i doubt will ever be played again).

great show as always. the features were in fine form that night. the crowd seemed to enjoy them very much. i also felt the urge to scream my head off due to the lack of crowd participation. it felt so lonely when only 10 or so people knew to clap during TWIMTB.

my morning jacket sure do love to whail on the ole' geetar. not a big fan of them and their barefoot ways. however seeing the features definitely made it a worthwhile trip.

Great show, great setlist. I, too, tried to compensate for the lack of usual fans by screaming and clapping. I think I singlehandedly cheered enough for them to consider an encore...at least I tried.

My Morning Jacket was enjoyable. They earned my respect and I don't hate them. But after seeing the Features onslaught of 2 minute rock, My Morning Jacket's barrage of epics was jarring. Still, nice overall and cool that the Features opened for them. It was also humorous to watch Rollum play his Game Boy next to the stage during My Morning Jacket's set.

A very fun trip that resulted in a humorous parody song to TWIMTB, which may or may not be posted...

Does it have anything to do with urination?

If by urination you mean cannibalism, then yes.

If you are easily offended, don't read this post

So we were watching that sex show on the Oxygen channel last night, and we found out that unrine is completely clean and sterile until it touches something dirty outside of your body (i.e the floor, a toilet, Carl, etc). Quote of the night from Joel (sorry Joel)

"So that means if I drink urine straight out of a dick it won't hurt me?"

Didn't someone also say, "I'll drink your pee anytime" or something to that effect?

Actually, a survival tactic I was told, in a group situation, is to drink one another's urine when water becomes scarce. Apparently, you cannot drink your own because it is what your body has already decided to reject, but you can drink others' urine if you need to.

The veracity of the above has always been tenuous in my judgement, so don't try this at home kiddies (like you would have anyway).

How weird. On the way back from Memphis we talked about drinking urine for survival..not sure how it was brought up, though. Didn't that pilot that was stranded in the desert drink his own sweat and urine to survive? Shudder.

Probably.

The show was fantastic, well worth the trip. Matt was on fire, as was Rollum with what appeared to be a projectile drum stool. I was very pleased with the set's content and length. Very very nice show. I am extremely excited about Thursday.

I can do without My Morning Jacket. They were fine, just nothing I care to listen to in my spare time.

GOD DAMN IT! I came with Bowl of Fire, so I missed the show too. I heard there was new merchandise and I wanted a new shirt because I wear my old one so much its about to fall apart at the seams. shit.

Herman is "that guy."

i believe it is a viewfinder camera.

I greatly enjoyed the show on Sunday night. I was especailly impressed with Roger. His new moves are quite entertaining. He even made me take my eyes off of Parrish a few times.

The set was a great choice to play to a crowd who may not be too fimiliar with them. I was hoping to hear "Someway, Somehow" but I guess it's enough to know that it will be the b-side and is getting the recognition it deserves.

I actually liked My Morning Jacket quite a bit. During one song the members of the band left the stage one by one until only the drummer was left on stage. This really reminded me of the episode of Freaks and Geeks were Lindsey has to watch her boyfriend play drums and refill the dry ice. Hilarious.

from pitchfork:
"Guitarist Johnny Quaid, keyboardist Danny Cash quit My Morning Jacket".

my guess is that they were disillusioned after seeing matt and parrish rock out on sunday night.

They all seemed to be getting along just fine in the restaurant before the show. That's sad.

word on the street (which strangely, pitchfork apparently hasn't heard) is that the guys leaving have health problems and just can't do the rock thing/constant touring anymore. One has a severe case of asthma or something. Supposedly its an amicable split. I think the mysterious "you" might know more about it than me. But don't ask me how I know this because I quite despise My Morning Jacket and couldn't care less.
