New Year's Eve plans set!

Me and my wife and her friend Miss J will be heading to her first My Morning Jacket show this New Year's Eve, one that will be my first show at Madison Square Garden (say, maybe the Rangers will have a game the night before?). Anyways, in order to indoctrinate her into the band that is just moving full speed ahead with new converts, even with a very risky new album that combines doo-wop, Prince funk and straight ahead, almost (gasp) Aerosmith-ish rock (the good, 70s Aerosmith, now, hear?), I made this mix, with the help of Archive.org:
1) One Big Holiday (from It Still Moves)
2) The Dark (1-29-2000, Antwerp, Belgium)
3) The Way That He Sings (from At Dawn)
4) I'm Amazed (from Evil Urges)
5) Bermuda highway (from At Dawn demo disc)
6) Off The Record (from 7-4-2006, Philadelphia)
7) Heartbreakin' Man (from 12-14-2000, Louisville)
8) What a Wonderful Man (from Z)
9) Cobra - my personal favorite (from 3-10-2007, Langerado Festival)
10) O Is the One That Is Real (5-28-2004)
11) Lay Low - another big favorite, as you can see in my first-ever entry (from Z)
12) Highly Suspicious (from Evil Urges)
13) Lowdown (from 12-1-2006, Philadelphia)
14) Golden (from It Still Moves)
15) Run Thru (from 9-26-2003)
16) They Ran (from 12-1-2006)

So, there it is, and I call it "MMJ for Beginners," giving a good cross-section of their nearly 10-year career through both live and studio recordings. You can make this mix, too, if you have their albums (or I-tunes, where you can get the studio stuff song-by-song), along with the great treasure trove on Archive.org's Live Music Archive. I was just listening to their 2008 Bonnaroo set the other day there - great stuff, especially "Steam Engine" (16 minutes long, including a drum solo by Pat Hallahan), and their second set-opening cover of James Brown's "Cold Sweat."
