[Chuter82]

@Darknizzle I think you may be taking this too literally. Does that happen a lot?

[ilovethemusic2009]

amazing

[theseanze]

Sometimes I wish they'd write more and experiment less...it comes off as self-satisfied sometimes

[NavinJohnson90]

@theseanze .....If you were Medeski Martin& Wood, how would you NOT be self-satisfied?

[theseanze]

@NavinJohnson90 -- Nobody has any reason to be self-satisfied. Kenny G is incredibly successful and flawless at what he does, but wouldn't you say he has reason to look himself in the mirror?

The simple answer is I'll never become self-satisfied as a musician, personally, because all of the figures who inspire me to do well pushed themselves. Miles Davis, Coltrane, Zappa...anyone with respect for integrity of music (and not just musicianship) continually pushes themselves to be more worthy

[giorgiakerr]

They are playing on the 29th of January, exactly a week from now. In Melbourne.

[Dupster1234]

fuck yeah when are these boys going to play a show down under

[KidATL9]

the dudes voice in this song is fred gwynne from the munsters.

[dunnright00]

Actually it's Col. Bruce Hampton (Ret.) of the Aquarium Rescue Unit

[ThrashMetal]

Groovy bass lines, man.

[jwalts37]

song is fucking genius.

[elizabethbirr]

GREAT VIDEO.

[Sweetking182]

hey, is Snake Anthony a small Japanese woman

[MrMrToke]

snake anthony is not a small japanese woman

[nevada2000]

you gonna have to have space...

This song still scares the shit out of me...

[jupiflupi1]

so cool!!!!

[thegrandwhale]

i think the song is about there experiences while toaring..it talks about them going from place to place so thats what im thinking

[mstern18]

didn't know they had any music videos done...

i doubt anyone fully understands the narration (if that is even possible). seeing the video doesnt really help. which is probably the point :)

[ijaOlaNulaOla]

HeY! Can anybody help me? What is the portable piano called? You can see it in the video at 3:09. Thnx!

[dbeckster]

melodica

[carlwinslo]

col bruce is great i have seen him live at warren haynes christmas jam he is a great writer and yes he was in slingblade saying very funny spoken word mmw fucking kicks ass

[mazter5150]

el dia q medeski se fumo un canio. Hay canciones tanto mejores, pero el video la lleva

[chalalaz]

Yo pensaba que se fumaba uno cada vez antes de sentarse frente a las teclas...

[Softhand30087]

Col. Bruce Hampton has been an Atlanta entertainer for decades. From the Hampton Grease Band in the 60's through many gyrations. Always had a knack for the musical fringes. GO SEE; LISTEN !

[unclejohn78]

very cool.

[theclaytonblues]

this is such a chill song. chris wood is amazing.

[Russellmeboy]

you can go to the west south you can to the east north, noone ever does, they just wanna go to phoenix.... lol i love this song its so underated.....uninvisible is still one of my fav albums of all time.....mmw is the shit.... thats about it....

[tlooknbill]

Wow! Knew it was just a matter of time MMW would be on YouTube. I've never seen any of their videos. Thanks for posting this.

Just FYI the vocal is from the character actor in the living room scene in "Sling Blade" who quotes obscure poetry lyrics like Medula Ablongata or something like that. The actor's name is Col. Bruce Hampton.

[theclaytonblues]

brilliant i didnt realize that until you said it. sling blade was killer.

[Vash397]

Oh man! I love this song, it's sooooo chill

[driedmonster]

They'll be at ALL GOOD 08!!!

[puldwnclaw]

ouch.

[Oladipo5]

lol, if thats the case, in reality, it's probably the only song you've heard from them.

[superchuds]

@ZachRhea this song was more about the lyrics, so it makes sense to have a video.

[jamlew12]

[BadSeedsFM]

[Annki]

Nice sound. 

Wood?.. could it be J...hmm?.. nah, nevermind
