New My Morning Jacket - "El Caporal"
MMJ's Dark Was The Night contribution is a light, airy, horn-lined dose of easy listening complete with a schmaltzy backup chorus and playful lyrics ("El Caporal, you're money is no good here") filled with dogs, dumpsters, kisses on el captain's sweet, confused face, and sways in dances/games in pantses. Jim James also asks the important questions: "Have we played all the chords we can finger?" Get mellow and derive meaning at MySpace.

Great song. More reminiscent of "Z" than of Evil Urges.
Can't wait to see them live again. Best show I've ever seen.
Score = 0
naturally, it is the highlight of the compilation.
also, if you google "el caporal" it's a mexican restaurant in louisville.
i. love. these. guys.
Score = 1
How did I know from just seeing the title of this post that you would have commented already?
P.S. Jim James is the only bad part of "I'm Not There." Find a new favorite singer.
Score = -11
1) of course i already posted here. pretend it's a radiohead post and you will be able to relate. :)
2) are you sure you saw "i'm not there"? there were lots of bad parts. none of which involved Jim James taking a meh Bob Dylan song and making it *mindblowing*.
3) i am fairly certain you have no soul. cerebral, sure. but no soul.
Score = 3
this is good in a joke kind of way. this is not good in a serious kind of way.
Score = -4
*you're* money?? oh brandon.
