why does he do this to me?
in a matter of one sentence, he can make me go from happy and all smiley to crying... good crying, but crying nonetheless.
---i edited out the parts about steven tyler and a few others. these are just the parts that slammed into me from out of nowhere. first bolded sentence is where i went from "yeaa!" to **slighty stunned crying with the thought of 'write a book, damn it!'** second bolded sentence(s) is when i went from crying to laughing with some squee.---
3.) John Mayer Trio... What is it? Is he ever going to release "pop" music again? Should I trust his intentions? Know this - John Mayer Trio is an idea. It will always be an idea. Even at the same time as it's a band, it's still an idea. It's a place to put my heart and soul when I feel like too many people have their hands on it. It's a way to check myself to make sure I'm not getting away with anything too easy. The comfort zone is gone with this band. My level of playing is in constant flux with the bar of what I know I can do. Sometimes I just inch over it, and sometimes it comes under. But it feels more vital than just hitting homeruns in a little league field. John Mayer Trio is more truthful to myself than I have ever been, and I'm going to take from it and graft it onto everything I ever do from now on. And as for Steve and Pino, I'm not worried that we'll be playing together for a long time to come. Some very, very cool music is going to happen with this band, even sooner than you think. I am in two bands now. Always.
4.) What now? I take a break for a minute, get my head (and upper respiratory system) together, and then the trio convenes in NYC for some more recording on the Continuum album, still slated for spring. That's the funny thing. My next studio album is actually JM3, but with a little extra "J". Wanna know what's next after that??? I'll tell you. Because why should you find out anywhere else? I'm going to record a solo acoustic album. Like SOLO. Just me and a little portable HD recorder, stereo mic, hotel rooms across america. Might schedule some mountain biking around it.
5.) To my fans - OUR fans: Thank you for loving the idea as much as I do. You should have moved on by now. You really should have. There's so much new music coming out all the time, I'm not sure why you're still on my side, but I thank you for it. And on behalf of Steve and Pino, thanks for making all of us feel like we've been doing this together since the late '70s.
It's only music now.
John Mayer
**hugs john from across the country** get better quick, but take some time off too. i don't know about everyone else, but i think you're worth the wait.
**opens and closes mouth a few times** i mean... there's nothing else i can said to that. do you realize how fucking *brilliant* you are?
and now i have officially (once again) lost my sanity. i'm talking to john mayer through my lj... **looks for a straight jacket**
if i were just half as talented with words as he is so naturally, i wouldn't be worrying so much about my future. but i'm not, so i am.
the orignal purpose of this post - a list of things i need to do (preferably tonight, but definitely by the time i leave town on friday):
- write my psuedoscience paper (i want 8 pages AT LEAST before i go to bed tonight **beats self with a whip**)
- email craig/scotty and studybreaks, politely quitting permenantly/taking myself out of the running for an internship
- email the woman from austin monthly just to see what she has to say
- look over my notes for english at least once
- write a really nasty letter to sony
- put my new metric cd on my ipod and attempt to get my fiona cd in some condition where it will PLAY IN MY CAR **restrains self from flying to nyc to do damage to the sony people**
- work on the matthew profile
- email matthew!!! **IMPORTANT DON'T FORGET!!**
i think that's all for now. off to work on the psuedoscience paper...
