    I love the band and also hope they don't hit the mainstream.


    isnt playing SNL hitting the mainstream? i kind of know what you guys mean how nobody knows them really, but they have done some pretty big TV stuff, Austin City Limits, SNL and the like. i think they have had their chance to go big and will be safe staying in the not too big category so we are all good.

    Finally Finally going to see them live in CHicago Thursday. Missed out on 4 different shows where they opened for PJ (I wasn't in to them then) and had to cancel my plans to see them at Red Rocks this summer last minute.

    I can't remember the last time I've been this pumped to see a band live.

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    MMJ will be on Austin City Limits Nov 1!!! Saw them proper in Louisville this summer. That show is easily in my top 3 ever.

    What's everyone's favorite track off Evil Urges? I can't get enough of "Smokin From Shootin"!

    Either Two Halves or Remnants. Remnants for just being balls-out rock, Two Halves cos it's just so damn poppy and cool. :D

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    2006: Antwerp, Paris
    2007: Copenhagen, Werchter
    2009: Rotterdam, London
    2010: MSG, Arras, Werchter
    2012: Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin
    2014: Amsterdam, Stockholm

    I can't stop listening to Librarian since hearing it live the other night... The whole album is great though.

    wow--tough one. for me, it's a toss up between "highly suspicious" or "aluminum park".
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Did you have floor tickets? Where were you at? I was right in front of Jim making a fool of myself.

    Saw them again in Detroit the other night. Incredible show, great atmosphere. The band is just so talented. Long Extended jams, but so under control at the same time. These guys are pros and Jim writes fantastic songs.

    I just found out that they are opening for Neil in Australia for a few shows this year! I love seeing my favourite Pearl Jam artists get together on their own.


    Getting to see MMJ kinda makes the PJ withdrawal a bit more bearable!

    Someone, i want to think 'restless soul' took this picture, and I've been using it as my background.
