mayer

mayer

i know many musicians i'm friends with aren't a big fan of him, but i love john mayer. he's such a freakin' phenomenon in so many ways. it's crazy. but i do love his music. now. i used to hate him. i did. i didn't have a good reason. i did though.

but there's something about his continuum album that drew me in... it was actually music. and then i listened to his older stuff. music. i didn't realize that. i guess he dropped out of berkeley for a reason.

so he's got a new single out and it's pretty good. very catchy. great build. sounds capo'd but on the vid of him playing it, he's playing some stuff on the second fret... so maybe 2 guitar parts... or he's muting... but anyways. very well put together. i think he's finally arriving... maybe superbowl material in a few years?



olson and i were talking about that...
who is capable of playing next year at the superbowl?

-dave matthews band
-goo goo dolls
-cold play
-john mayer
-radiohead
-red hot chili peppers

i'm pretty sure none of them have played the superbowl. i'm kind of sick of it being all old men. petty was okay. he's old. prince was great, but they leveled the mix entirely wrong... but still... old. and i don't know why they chose someone like him over a janet jackson... even with a "wardrobe malfunction" a lot of his stuff is way more risque... albeit, better music.

anyways, enough with my rant. off to bed. so let me know who you think should play next year.
