I've been hearing/reading all of the hype on the band My Morning Jacket for a long time now but never took the chance to listen to them until recently. I'm sure it wouldn't surprise you to learn I'm kind of judgmental and may or may not have been called a "b-word" more than once. The reason I didn't check out their music is really because I didn't like a picture of them that I saw on the cover of (I believe) CMJ a really long time ago. They looked like some long-haired hippies who probably hadn't showered since 1997 - not my jam. Of course, this has nothing to do with their musicality - which I have thankfully been able to experience. Check out their video for "Touch Me I'm Going to Scream" and delight in both a delicious bass line and some impressive visual artistry.
Also, check out this picture of My Morning Jacket's frontman Jim James performing at the Sasquatch festival. If I had known he rocked some hot moon boots I would've gotten into these guys a whole lot earlier.
