well i watched his episode of “storytellers” this past weekend (or maybe it was friday) and that was what it took. i’ve always preferred john mayer live to john mayer on the album. probably because on the album he plays it safe, does what “they” want and live he takes those safe songs and plays them like they were meant to be played. with a little soul or heart or something. i don’t know.

anyway, i found myself singing along to almost every song, even the new battle studies ones that i didn’t really like. so i ended up listening to the album for the rest of the weekend and i’m really liking it. especially “assasin,” “half of my heart,” and “who says.” i like the lyrics to “perfectly lonely,” but i’m not partial to the arrangement on the album. it was a little better on “storytellers” but the music doesn’t really do the song justice.

anyway, i’m warming up to this album and can’t wait to see him again next month.

abrupt. end.
