Master Box Set
Can we all agree that after Born and Raised that they should come out with a John Mayer Master Box Set that comes in some kind of awesome box with a t shirt, picks, and some kind of autographed photo? Please reblog this in hopes that it makes it back to the execs.
Aye! An anthology with both acoustic and electric versions of songs most definitely. I’d love to hear a clean acoustic version of Who Did You Think I Was for instance.
Oh Yeaaaaaaahhh!
Reblog if you <3 hearing John Mayer in stores and restaurants!
Yea, I messaged him that in 4 years of working for Jamba Juice, not once was a song of his on our monthly CD. We were such deprived employees.

Transcripts from the panel discussion are here. If you didn’t catch John’s introduction to the documentary, it was a moving ten minutes most definitely.

I just had a mini spasm when I saw acoustic. Yeah, it gets like that sometimes.
He played it one time this past summer so it could be recent. Isn’t this graphic by working girl adorable…
3 Pack
Just filled some orders for our 3 Pack, but we would still like to sell more! A 3 Pack gets you a sticker, wristband and dog tag for just 10 bucks!!! You should all go to www.jmwristbands.com and check it out in our SHOP. All proceeds go to NCIRE so you can get some cheap JM merch, and help a soldier at the same time. Sounds like a WIN WIN to me!!

“We’re not gonna give you a normal show cause you’re gonna be able to catch one of those or have already so, we’re gonna talk and we’re gonna hang out and try to remember songs that we may never play again and remember fully again. Harris and I have some huge history in this room and we’ll tell you about that and where the songs came from. A lot of the first songs that I wrote especially on the Inside Wants Out and Room for Squares album were written and worked out on this stage so we’ll go back to that in a little bit.”

“There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great - much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country (insert whatever genre you think fits) at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter Family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep.”
