SPEAKER_05

Alright, thank you for listening to the Greatest Not Hits. I'm Chris, and playing the uh second track on the Evil Urges album from My Morning Jacket. I'm going to scream part one. Is my co-host Tim. Um yeah, we're gonna be listening to Evil Urges by Morning Jacket, the fifth studio album from the band. It was released by ATO Records on June 10th of 2008. I found it interesting that it was runner-up for the best alternative music album uh for the Grammys. Um I ended up losing Radio Heads in Rainbows that year, but uh just to know that it was nominated for that is pretty uh I I didn't know that coming in, so I just read that from Wikipedia. Anyway, it's a good album. And we're gonna listen to all the songs, and at the end we're gonna rank them. Rank the top three non-hits, as we always do. And the the song that Tim's playing, uh Touch Me, I'm going to scream. But the second part of it, and I this is part one that he's playing. But part two comes at the end of the album, and it was actually released as a single, and then the song I'm Amazed was also uh a single as well. So I mean we could probably leave those out. We'll we'll play we'll play fast and loose with it. But nevertheless, we're gonna at the end we're gonna rank our top three non-hits, the ones that we uh we like the best. And there are a bunch of them. There are 14 tracks. Um The Bank is is is from Louisville. This uh lead singer is Jim James. Uh you heard uh Stan from Family Guy praise him. It was they they did a whole episode, My Morning Strait Jacket, and uh it was the name of that episode back in 2009. So anyway. Uh the whole episode was dedicated to the band, and uh he's completely enthralled by Jim James' voice, who's a co-founder. And uh on this album they kind of did like a shift change in uh members of the band. Um I think it's uh Jim James Vocals, uh Tom Blank and Shift Face, Patrick Hallahan, drums and percussion, Carl Romel, Ramel. I don't know. Guitar vocals and Vogaster, I believe. Or Vogaster, Vogaster. But anyway, um there were some other people running uh involved Joe Chicarelli, who was the producer, and then there's some other mixers, etc. Assistants and we don't really need to name all of them. But um This is this album, this band is known for you know, you can't put them in a box, you know, they planned a bunch of different things together. On this album, I think they wanted it to have more of an urban feel. Like there's the song Librarian kind of sounds like Fleet Fox's, you know, where this is really like bulky. But then you've got other songs like highly suspicious that has it's kind of rock, but it's also kind of street for lack of a better term. Anyway, these are really good songs, uh great album. And uh we're excited to to listen to all of it. Um wonder what else I can uh I mean there's there's there's a lot uh to this band. Tennessee Fire is their first album in 1999, and just recently in this year, 2025 when we were recording this, and early a few months ago, uh they released the the the album is, and so they're still active, so they've had a long career. It just seems like yesterday was in 1999, for me at least a bunch of years, and uh they're still going strong after this album. Before this album was the album, which was their the rake out album because it was good.

SPEAKER_02

Like a video game. Are they evil or are they good? I don't know. Are they the margarine?

SPEAKER_10

You're the gallery coke of ebour. Just one gallery.

SPEAKER_02

But it's then it's not a scale of of good and bad, it's more complex. Okay. And if there's religion, it's technical.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, they do have there are a lot of different subjects like uh religion and relationships, all that stuff, you know. I'm getting uh getting crazy.
