While looking through Archive.org earlier today, I found that John Mayer has quite a few concerts up online, which I didn't expect, given how prominent of a musician he is. There's not a whole lot of recent ones, but there is a bunch of ones that date back to 2002 and a little earlier, and from those, I found a couple of cool covers.All of these covers are pretty faithful to the original, excep...
John Mayer makes sure music rises above tabloids NEW YORK - If you're engrossed in the tabloid Internet-gossip that has come to define the celebrity world, then John Mayer's latest CD, "Battle Studies," could provide enough fodder to fill at least a dozen Perez Hilton blog posts or at least one story in Us Weekly. The single, [...]
It must be nice to be John Mayer. He’s an unbelievable guitarist, a pretty funny amateur comedian, and even when he makes what may be one of his least memorable albums to date, it’s still pretty damn good.When listening to John Mayer’s previous work, its generally not hard to guess what he listens to for [...]

Who Says John Mayer gets stoned? he doesI'm going to do my best not to let my bias get me on this one, but I'm pretty sure it won't work.John Mayer's "Who Says"40+ seconds of nothing, then he leads with "Who says I can't get stoned?" I'm guessing Mayer's got a whole new crowd of potheads who may be lending an ear for the first time thanks to this song. I'm still not sold on him. I've always dra...
At bip-bip., we try to conserve most of our time and effort to covering bands that don't get air time on Ryan Seacrest's American's Top 40. Every now and then, however, there are newsworthy events.For starters, if you are a U2 fan, Bono and company will be streaming an entire show TONIGHT (10/25/2009) on Youtube. The show will be streaming from the Rose Bowl in California -- in front a of sell-...
In my humble opinion John Mayer totally sucks. I don't like his music, I don't like his attitude, I don't like his hair. Just look at him. Nice face. And what I find exceedingly irritating is that he's all over the web with his almost equally annoying lady friend who I don't have the energy to name. Nice tatoos. Anyway, I get it. The human brain is a highly complicated organ that is in constant...

Even more music comes [...]
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 e...

"You better know that in the endit's better to say too muchthan 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...
