When I'm not soaking up DMB, I'm blasting John Mayer. It seems as though he's come from nowhere to become a big hit. But 3x5 strikes me as an intriguingly (is that even a word?:p) good song. Definitely one of my favorites in recent years.

Anyway, all of his music is just genuinely good from start to finish.

On a side note, is there any truth to the rumour that he is dating JLH?

Think of it as DMB minus the drinking or something like that. Sorta of a lighter tone than DMB but a similar sound.

Anyway, I'm going to the John Mayer concert in Cary, NC on Sept. 7th. Gotta score some tickets for me and my best friend's sister:p:p:p:p:p:)

I still remember the first time i heard him the first thing i thought was "dave?" Now i've been listening to room for squares quite a bit. 3x5 is pretty good but i think Why Georgia and My Stupid Mouth are my favorite tracks. He's definitely my favorite new band/singer

What kind of Music does Mayer play?
His voice is similar to Dave's but his music is really different, IMO. Try downloading "No Such Thing" or "Neon". They are probably his more populars song, especially the former.

Oh please GOD NO!!! No Such Thing is overplayed SOOOOOOOOO much. I skip right over it and go to Why Georgia Why when I play the CD:p

My Stupid Mouth is so typical of me :D

i actually heard of john mayer about 2 years before he became popular. He was mostly doing jazz fusion stuff, very good at it especially for his age back then. Too bad alot of the jazz stuffits has slowly been dropping out of his songs as he moved into a more poppy feel (but im not belittling it, its still good stuff). Try some of his old stuff, my favorites are Breakaway (the live acoustic version) very pretty, and i love "man on the side" for its jazzy feels.

John Mayer rocks... I've been a fan since last fall.... its a shame he is so big now. I miss the days when not everyone knew about him.... NST has been madly over played... but oh well... atleast it isnt britney being overplayed.

I'm gonna see him Sept 3rd in DC... its gonna be good...

Yup, Inside Wants Out is even Better.

Track #7 (Comfortable) is great along with Quiet (the last track on that CD).
