Friday, September 16, 2011 at 7:00AM by Kevin Hill Throwing all semblance of professionalism to the wind today with this one, but I promise, we'll keep it simple.
This is for my Dad...I think he would have dug it.
We'll return you to your regularly scheduled Daily Listen come Monday. Have a brilliant weekend everyone.

Friday, August 19, 2011 at 6:59AM by Kevin Hill Ok. So I said that the My Morning Jacket show last week might change you, and apparently it's changed us into raving fanboys. But we just can't seem to resist any cover that they're choosing to tackle right now...especially when you throw Neko Case AND Kelly Hogan up in the mix. It's a sort of sickness, but I'm not sure that we are looking for the cure.
Check out the video below to see the whole gang absolutely KILLING Tom Petty's classic "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". Then ask yourself why you haven't seen this tour yet and figure out how you're going to correct that problem.

In case you didn't know, My Morning Jacket absolutely DESTROYED Merriweather Post Pavilion last Friday. Giving a performance that could have been powered by the fires of hell itself, the band coalesced into nothing less than a hurricane of sound and fury...that loves you.
Lucky for you there were some upstanding individuals there to capture the evening. Actually, "upstanding" might not be the right word, because we can't seem to stop listening to the show. It's getting in the way of stuff dude. Actual stuff.
That aside we're pretty vocal about our support for the taping community here and this time is no different. The act of recording in a live setting like these individuals do is an art form in and of itself, but the fact that they make record of a performance and then spread it around is simply a gift.
In this case, that gift is "Holdin On To Black Metal". I've always considered it a deeply silly, sorta failed song, but then Friday happened. There's no real way to convey the power of all those people singing along to the chorus, but hopefully this will give you a little hint of what it was like.
My Morning Jacket - "Holdin On To Black Metal" (LIVE)
Leave you wanting more? Well then why don't you go ahead and download the ENTIRE set and get hooked just like we are. Whether you were there and want to relive it, or you want to see what you missed, this one is a keeper.
