My Morning Jacket: Live disc bonanza

Wise men from Kentucky, My Morning Jacket, are to release a double live album and a film of concert footage in September, report Pitchfork.

Okonokos: Double Live Album will be born unto the world on the 26th, with its visual twin following on Halloween.

A notably smug press release tried to explain to us in slow, clear tones that: "Okonokos is a creative concept conceived by Jim James, and it is as much a question as it is an answer. It is an enigma wrapped around a riddle. Okonokos is whatever you want it to be."

Hmm. What does an enigma wrapped around a riddle sound like? I'd venture this:

Disc One:
'Wordless Chorus'
'It Beats 4 U'
'Gideon'
'One Big Holiday'
'I Will Sing You Songs'
'Lowdown'
'The Way That He Sings'
'What a Wonderful Man'
'Off the Record'
'Golden'
'Lay Low'

Disc Two:
'Dondante'
'Run Thru'
'At Dawn'
'Xmas Curtain'
'O Is the One That Is Real'
'Hell'
'Steam'
'Dancefloors'
'Anytime'
'Mahgeeta'

Sounds like they're trying to be cryptic

For absolutely no reason
