Did you see Conan last night? That Anne Hathaway is delightful. Did you know she used to be in a college a cappella group? My Morning Jacket were on too, and they did “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream (Part 2).” I’m sure Anne Hathaway enjoyed it. Conan definitely did; he likes all the cool bands. Earlier in the show, Conan invited MMJ’s biggest fan (Scott from Alabama) to come backstage and meet the band. LOL ensued.
The belly dancer at the far urinal is James Lipton of Inside The Actors Studio. Yes I just typed that sentence.
Here’s the performance, thrilling as always. Give Jim James a cape and an omnichord and a stuffed bear in a Mexican poncho and he will give you Must See TV.
And while I’m at it, some clips from MMJ’s marathon Bonnaroo performance finally surfaced on YouTube. “One Big Holiday” with Kirk Hammett of Metallica…
And “Home Sweet Home” (Mötley Crüe tune) with Zach Galifianakis as Little Orphan Annie:
That was so Raven.

Was that St. Vincent as one of the backing vocalists w/ MMJ last night?
that was st. vincent, nicole atkins and ambrosia parsley from shivaree
That first minute of the “One Big Holiday” clip reignites my goosepimples. So much classic.
Scott from Alabama looks like Mick Foley. Not totally sure, but I think Cactus Jack could be a fan too. Or maybe Dude Love, or Mr. Socko. Man, those were the days.
The Forkcast of this was hilariously apathetic.
MMJ > P4K
I think that was St. Vincent.
i love that you can turn on closed captioning for the live video.
I thought so too. MMJ, now the band with “a lot of people onstage.”
“Scott” is Scott Register, of Reg’s Coffeehouse. Reg has a nationally-syndicated show, was instrumental in getting MMJ airplay, and is close friends with the Jim James, so it wasn’t exactly a random meet, but funny nonetheless.
Reg is one of the the best things to happen to radio and independent music (especially in Alabama) in a very long time. Great guy.

Scott from Alabama is Scott Register of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores. Cool guy with a radio show called Reg’s Coffeehouse.
Not sure about St. Vincent, but I got a promo email stating that Nicole Adkins was going to be with MMJ. Can’t tell though.
I’m 100% positive it was Nicole Atkins. My roomie’s kickin it with her this weekend. Looked like St. Vincent too. And i’m delighted to hear the 3rd was Shivaree!
FUSE played I’m Amazed and One Big Holiday and i’m waiting and checking every 2 minutes for it to be on Youtube. Someone put it up
i am so excited about tonight’s MMJ show @ Radio City that i might barf.
I wonder when that MGMT band is gonna claim MMJ aped their caped idea for late night TV.

“that was so typical of the behavior i’ve come to expect from Raven”
