“Jim James (from My Morning Jacket) / Rolling Stone magazine, Australia. April 2012.
My portrait of Jim James—my tenth collaboration with Rolling Stone—is finally here. For this occasion I tried to evoke the aesthetics of some forgotten children’s activity book to depict My Morning Jacket’s lead man and the tunes, beats and rhythms that have influenced his work across time.

notes Knot comes looseB.B.B.B. can’t you see that I’m smiling?
Can’t you see -there’s a part of me that’s brand new?
Used to be was a part of me felt like hiding
But now it comes thru!
Deep in my heart - that’s where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart - I will remember you- Knot Comes Loose, My Morning Jacket (2005)
What a scene has got you sentimental
When the night comes
When the knot comes loose
All the things you put on your mantle
What a shame, what a shame
It’s old news- Ahead of the Curve, Monsters of Folk (2009)

notes"There are sensitive guys with guitars who are depressing, and then there are some, like our friend Mr. Oberst, who express their pain, and it feels sad, but it resonates so deeply with hope and passion that it grabs your heart. That’s what sets Conor apart." -

notes The Artist Formally Known as Yim YamesFrom now on, on all of Olliges/James/Yames’ projects where his hair length reaches between his shoulder and the bottom lobe of his right ear, he will be officially credited as #?^ In a statement, Yames explained that “#?^ feels just right to me—You are where you’re at and I am here. Yim Yames is just so stiff and formal. It lacked whimsy.” The Yim Yames moniker will still be utilized for corporate gigs and when Olliges flies business class. Meanwhile, #?^ plans to tour with members of NIN, GnR and others as part of a new super group the Arena-Size Acronyms.

With this, it was like, go ahead and screw around. Have fun." -

notes June, 2001Interviewer: What is your greatest fear? JimJames: Watching "American Beauty" by myself. When the ending comes on after he is shot, it's so beautiful it hurts. It feels good to have someone there. I've never had to watch it alone – that scares me. -

notes"There’s lots of harmony and lots of songs where we trade verses. It’s pretty fun for us to get in that beginner’s mind again. You can feel a lot of that energy on there, trying to keep the wheels from flying off the cart."Jim James, talking about Monsters of Folk
July 2009
