John Mayer

It's not often I come across a major musical artists' web site and find that I can say to myself - "these guys got it right." Today I visited John Mayers site and although I'm not a fan of his music the site is a great example of how to get the message across simply and elegantly while giving his fans the ability to interact on many levels. The tie-in with Blackberry is genius too. The Blackberry micro-site just spreads the Meyer messaging and interactivity far and wide... MORE

I'm laying in my London hotel room in one of my least favorite scenarios: the job is done today but the plane takes off tomorrow. The European tour was an absolute blast and I think I speak for the band and crew when I say that all sights are set firmly on the US tour and making it the best ever. As a 30-year old with an eight-year mainstream professional music career, I couldn't be happier (and more thankful) to still have a gig. All I can think about when I'm on sta... MORE

As I said in my previous post............"......I'm a little behind schedule here.  It was a crazy weekend, and the reasons for it will be explained in the coming weeks.  Anyway, I am playing a little catch-up from the weekend and posting my "countdown" from Saturday and Sunday today.  Not that you would care, I figured I would just clarify in case you did.  Screw you for judging me."  Moving along.... 4 days to go.  I can almost smell the cow shit that we will most ...

Go back into the annals of beloved '80s films, and you'd be hard pressed to find a movie closer to the hearts of thirty-somethings than The Goonies.  I'll spare you the synopsis, as you most likely already know it, but if you don't, no need to worry - you've seen 20 other movies like it in its time. The template: nerdy but affable underdog(s) suffer unrelenting ridicule by jocks in varsity letter jackets but ultimately have their comeuppance, usually stealing a smoking hot... MORE

  Thought it might be cool to start sharing some photos I've taken by way of desktop pictures. Optimized for a 15" MacBook Pro. Number 1 - road case... (make sure to "save picture as") Enjoy.   JM    

Watch/listen to the following video & let me know what you think.  I'm not sure that anyone has followed John Mayer's career from day one to the present with such exuberance as I have, but I'm not entirely sure what to think of this.  Generally, I like it; it's quiet, calm and extremely intimate.  I just don't know if it cuts it for me. It's only forty seconds, and I know you can't judge an entire song on a clip.  The fact this is only a rough version is altogethe... MORE

love him or hate him, you gotta admit he's got a sense of humor.
Makin' Music with John Mayer on FunnyOrDie.com

While I've got a couple of his other albums, they really dont compare to his latest, Continuum. It's the ideal Sunday afternoon, kick back album. It starts off with one of the singles, Waiting On The World To Change, which most people have heard at one time or another on the radio or tv. Personally I dont see it as being the strongest starter track, though I'll admit that its upbeat feel makes my opinions sway. But thats just one track, shall we move on? The 2nd track, I D... MORE

John Mayer's "Belief" I guess one way and another we are given our tasks, and coming to terms with violence seems to be one of mine, the thing I must continually break my head against, to say nothing of my heart. And even more maddening is the close affinity religion seems to have, seems to have almost always had, with violence, an affinity which, to any rational mind, would seem to contradict every beautiful and fine thing at the heart of most world religions. W... MORE

It takes balls to cover Jimi. John Mayer doesn't care if you like him. But i still do :)

Another summer, another new festival. Throw a dart at the board, see where it lands and viola! let's call in the tour buses. This time the dart fell three hours northwest of Detroit in Rothbury, Michigan. The jamband friendly Rothbury Festival, scheduled for 4th of July weekend (July 3rd-6th), will feature headliners Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic and Phil Leash and Friends. Also playing will be John Mayer, Snoop Dogg, Mars Volta, 311 and Modest Mouse. Rothbury,... MORE

"You better know that in the end it's better to say too much than never to say what you need to say again..." Good point John. I think I'll take that advice with me and perhaps, share that to everybody else. It's gonna enlighten a lot of people and maybe change their points of view. That's a very fine song, John. Too bad I can't let other people listen to it here. The least I can do for them is to link them to your blog. :) http://www.johnmayer.com/blog/john/200711#1... MORE
