Ever since the show was announced way back in early-June, our loyal and fearless friend and and co-editor Aaron Fortin has been relentless in his pursuit of trying to get My Morning Jacket to play their obscure Roll Call-only release “Octoplasm,” an amorphous, Dead-leaning tune that sounds more like “Dark Star” than “The Dark.” So, for Aaron’s 30th birthday (tonight at midnight but technically at 9 p.m. PST since he’s from Baaahston), please My Morning Jacket, here the man’s call and inject the set with some “Octoplasm.” Party like only a twenty-something can tonight Aaron, it’s all downhill from here!

@magheetahmeohmy has coined the term OCTOgasm in case we all have one when you debut octoPLASM! Make it rain @mymorningjacket! #mmjwiltern3

@chillwig Octoplasm, a jam track released last year as part of @mmjrollcall. Would be epic @ #mmjwiltern3 http://t.co/makidmuG #octoGASM

@chillwig it's never been played live. I've been wanting it ever since I first heard it. #mmjwiltern3 #JAM @mymorningjacket cc: @jimjames
