Catching Up...

So the thing I was most sad to miss while traveling abroad was My Morning Jacket ringing in the New Year at Madison Square Garden. I'd purchased my tickets for the show the moment they went on sale months ago. I was all set to stand in the pit and watch up close as these music idols rocked the world's most famous arena. I mean, what better way to kick off 2009?

Well, it wasn't to be. My plans changed and I was fortunate enough to spend those very hours taking in the beautiful weather of Panaji, Goa, India. Meanwhile, some guy from upstate New York was enjoying my tickets at the Garden.

I couldn't complain then and I certainly can't complain now, knowing that the show is very much available for me to download and enjoy, via the folks at archive.org. And if you want a taste of the show without downloading the whole thing, feel free to hang out here and listen:
