One Big Holiday for me!

So last night at work I was thinking about picking up the My Morning Jacket Okonokos cd. I've been getting into them lately after hearing Evil Urges and various other songs. Only problem is my money is tight at the moment, so I kept going back and forth rather to get it or not. But ultimately I decided I would wait till my next pay check in a couple of weeks.

So low and behold I log onto emusic this morning, and what do I see......the ENTIRE My Morning Jacket catalog newly available!

I still have enough downloads to get Okonokos, but I might have to spring for some more to get Z as well.

Thanks MMJ! I wish more big bands had their stuff on emusic.

*edit* it also looks like they will have Evil Urges album on June 10.

    Okonosos has a lot of the songs from Z on it.

    I think sooner or later (like that my morning jacket song referencethere :) ) you should get Z but if money is tight Okonosos would get you many of hte songs on Z.

    They are a great band. ive never checked out emusic. i've always used itunes. What is the difference?

    I believe if you can find a DL version of the epic 3 day show in SF new years eve special, you should have every song in their catalog, im pretty sure - but correct me if im wrong.

    Okonokos CD and DVD have diff tracks - Acoustic Chorale DVD has 4 more songs NOT on the Okonokos DVD, these were given away free with the first buyers at the MMJ website, now you can find AC DVD on the bay for around $20 - great deal if you ask me, even if its only 4 more songs.

    But definitely go and get Okonokos!

    The first time I heard of it was on this board, just like MMJ.

    The main difference is that you pay a subscribition fee each month and get a certain number of downloads. For instance, I was charged 14.99 this month and received 50 downloads. The only downside is the catalog is not as vast as itunes...there's a lot of independent stuff.

    It's a great deal if you can find bands you're interested in. With my 50 downloads I got a Black Keys, Ryan Adams, and Okonokos album. If I would have bought that on itunes it would have been close to 40 bucks.

    Emusic has a two week free trial where you get a bunch of free downloads....definitely check it out.

    Very cool.

    Which Adams album did you get. I am a big fan of his too.

    I got Heartbreaker. Unfortunately, it's the only album of his available on the site.

    I haven't listened to it yet, but I've heard good things.

    Heartbreaker is the classic Ryan Adams album. I'm sure you'll like it.:)

    I've been thinking about buying an MMJ album on emusic since I joined last fall, but I never get around to it. I love Z and the Okonokos DVD, but I'm not a fan of the studio versions of the songs on It Still Moves, so I'm hesitant to buy another studio album.

    I love all the live versions I've heard. I guess it's the production on the album that I don't like? It's not like I never listen to the album. It was just a let down for me after hearing live recordings.

    I was just kidding anyways.:p It's my favourite album of theirs - I love the reverb, and, obviously, the amazing songs they wrote for it. Rollin' Back is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard.

    Heartbreaker has some great songs on it. Come Pick Me Up is a really cool song.

    Some of my favs by him are
    Heartbreaker
    Cold Roses
    Love is Hell
    Easy Tiger
    Gold


    the others are good to. My least favorites are 29 and rock and roll, but like neil young every album has at least a few really good songs on it.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I have the other albums you mentioned, but still need to pick up Cold Roses.
