Starbucks can take a lot of the blame for that.... Ron Sexsmith says it well in his song "Jazz at the Bookstore" |

Horrible is the nicest word I can I can associate with her "performance". One of the few disappointing concerts that I have seen. I saw Herbie Hancock at The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1994 and he BLEW! |

Interesting twist of phrase. |

Michael Franks! That's it! I've been hearing someone else in his voice for years and you hit it. |

The reason why this one rocks, though (or perhaps I should say "swings") is because of Herbie Hancock, not because of John Mayer. You should check out his live album, "Try!". He's been touring as the John Mayer Trio (Steve Jordan on drums, Pino Palladino on bass) and trying to establish himself as a serious musician. It's mostly hard-driving blues and rock, and it's a pretty cool album IMHO. Of course, I think he's a great musician across the board; you just have to get past the fact that he ended up being a top-40 heartthrob. That's not his fault - could happen to anyone.  |

I hate this sentiment. Just because a song get airplay does not make it bad. It can become annoying because of overplay. Plus Radio Paradise isn't "No 'mainstream music' internet radio". It is eclectic, which to be eclectic would probably have to have some mainstream AC/DCish songs for it to be truly eclectic. |
| toker (the overcast golden state) | Posted: Mar 28, 2006 - 10:30 Thats kind of mellow and jazzy...I like it. |

| Johnski333 (Bloomingdale, NJ) | Posted: Mar 15, 2006 - 08:18 John Mayer? Wow - that's a surprise he sounds awesome!! I thought it was Jamie Cullum - maybe because of the great Hancock track behind Mayer. |
