OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

So are you snobby douchewobbles gonna fling poo at me for saying that their one single that I've been hearing lately reminds me of the Moody Blues and that that's not a bad thing? 

Nothing remotely wrong with that.

So you hate them so much you've seen them multiple times on their current tour?
Lots of bands play the same setlist every night. Lots of bands aren't really that interesting, they have an image, that's it,
so having things choreographed makes it easy for them, and they can get hammered/drugged up to get through their set.
That being said, I don't see such bands more than once on any given tour. 
I wish the regrets were able to sell out. Beats my current job with Huey's brother.

MMJ, on the other hand, is the best mainstream live band out there.


Here's a site that has mp3s of 50 MMJ cover tunes.

That looks like fun.

And, a site that has 198 My Morning jacket shows.  I feel like I've posted this before, though.

Found a band that have a similar sound to Fleet Foxes, and are really extraordinary, even if they are Canadian.

Start with the song "your rocky spine" by the Great Lake Swimmers, and their album Lost Channels.

Also, in a similar style, if you like acoustic folk type music (think iron and wine), check out william fitzsimmons.
Great guitar, vocal and lyrical work.
