[mp3] My Morning Jacket: “Holdin On to Black Metal”
May 11th, 2011 by Matt
If KEXP is giving away the MP3 then I figure it must be fair game to post at this point.
MP3: My Morning Jacket – Holdin On To Black Metal
I don’t know why it surprises me, but My Morning Jacket’s R&B-by-the-way-of-classic-rock track “Holdin On to Black Metal” is just fantastic. It’s less about black metal and more about the trappings of youth which often refuse to let go once they’ve taken hold. And though Jim — or at least our narrator — sees Black Metal as a sign of youth and arrested development, I know a lot of guys who come in the record store who seem pretty grown up to me. Still, it’s hard to argue with a point when it’s made with such all-around solid instrumentals. I mean seriously, every instrument in this song is playing a memorable riff.
Circuital is out May 31. It is awesome.

I think I’m missing something here. Forgive me if I am wrong, but this is streaming rather than “downloading.”

Right-click and save it instead of playing it.

MMJ is the effing ruler of it all. I’ve never seen a better band in my entire life. After I saw them on Austin City Limits it was all over. They’re the best, EVER.

@Bruce go poke yourself in the eye with a fork. If you can’t figure it out you should ski yourself off a snowpark tubing terrain area with a seatbelt and grab for the branches you’re such a weenie
