John Mayer

In case you’ve been in a bubble and are in dire need of decent music, I highly recommend John Mayer. There’s a few songs from him below. If you happen to be a singer/songwriter, check out John’s web site blog @ http://www.johnmayer.com/battlestudies/. A recent post called “Conscious Composition” is very cool. Good Stuff. So what album is his best? Well I like Continuum, but probably just because it’s his latest studio album. I have seriously enjoyed every album to date. Frankly you can’t go wrong with John. One album that never had big press that I enjoy is, “Inside Wants Out". Check him out! The song, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room”, is in my humble opinion is a masterpiece: “Belief” is another great tune from John…

Howie Day @ The Bluebird

Stuart was gracious in surprising me with a Howie Day ticket tonight. Man my bro can be a cool cat. At the venue Stuart ran around taking some great pics of Howie live. Highly recommended if you like phenomenal guitar and smart songwriter lyrics. Pics are @ www.skfunphoto.com. Below are a few video’s of Howie doing his thing. His talent is in the way he can play guitar, and in using loopback devices construct a vibrant full sound – live! During the BlueBird concert he took the song below, played it, and before he ended the whole thing decided to double up the speed and start a whole techno vibe with it. Truly makes a regular DJ look like a pud. Beyond his obvious playing talent his lyrics are great too. Try him out!

Flobots Rock

My Bro-man Stuart turned me on to a local band called the Flobots a while ago and I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear intelligent lyrics again. It took a while for me to warm up to them, but now Debi and I like to rock to them on a regular basis. We really do it up too - Turn it up on the little pocket radio and slowly move our rocking chairs. Kick ass! Seriously - the’yre good. For starters, try Handlebars or Rise - Give them a try, and support local music!
