FF+MMJ or FF+Wilco?

so the reverb isn't for everyone. Me, this was the first song I ever heard by these guys. I've liked some of their other stuff but this remains a fave. Someone earlier mentioned Fleet Foxes. There is an excellent version somewhere out there of FF and MMJ covering "I shall Be Released"

Always been my favorite MMJ tune.  Always in the mood to hear this song.

For as mediocre as everyone says this song is, I would assume it is also referencing the entire group.  And if thats the case, why do I hear this band every morning? 
I have heard worse, I have heard better. 
 
I don't know though, it's kind of growing on me (both this song and the band).

If i had a voice as off key and mediocre as this guy's I'd be whispering instead of bellowing.

A comparison that could only be made if you hang at a lot of transvestite burlesque shows. Hey, if that's your thing...

This sucks...this what you do when you have Jumping Jack Flash stuck in your head and your guitar buddys are at the house sucking down beers, then you all start jamming, making it up as you go. The end result, something that sound like Mahgeetah. I have heard this a few times on RP and I have not grown to like it much.
 

You forgot the drugs man, the only way this stuff would sound good.

I will give this song a "1" every time it is played. I know it won't count, but I feel it necessary to ease my pain!

12:24 pm - My Morning Jacket - Mahgeetah
12:20 pm - Michelle Shocked - Secret to a Long Life
12:17 pm - Grant-Lee Phillips - Fountain Of Youth
12:07 pm - Mudcrutch - Crystal River

I really hope a good song comes along soon to bail out this crappy set.

Because taste is obviously subjective. I like Michelle as well, but Jim James has far more talent. Chill on the emoticons too, will ya?

is this song's name a play on the lead singer's inability to enunciate the words "my guitar"?

I love reading the comments when MMJ play. Some people vehemently hate them. Too bad. Jim James is an amazing talent and you don't know what you're missing.
