My Morning Jacket Documentary Circa 2038

Back to the future with Jim James & Co. — down vests and DeLoreans optional.

By Fred Mills

My Morning Jacket has just released a "documentary" set 30 years in the future. WTF?!? That’s right – MMJ circa 2038, being followed around by an amateur filmmaker.

As the doc storyline goes, the would-be auteur tracks down each member of the band, now living their respective lives 30 years after the band called it quits. (Wait – the band is breaking up this year? What about all those advance tickets that have been sold!)  But soon there’s a renewed interest in the band and their music, so Jim James & Co. reunite and relive the year that was 2008. That, of course, would be the year of the band’s massive tour supporting the just-issued Evil Urges (ATO, which hit stores June 10).

The film — dig the screen shots here —can be viewed at My Morning Jacket’s imeem page. That’s where you can also stream the entire Evil Urges for free.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t add this additional plug for imeem:

• All of imeem's playlists (music, video and photos) are embeddable anywhere, so feel free to grab the embed code and put it on your blog. You can also make your own playlists so you can embed the music on your posts instead of just listing the songs.
