Would you like some cheese to go with that Iron & Wine ? If so, Joshua Radin will be more than happy to oblige. Arriving two years after his Zach Braff -endorsed debut We Were Here , the all-too-aptly titled Simple Times doesn’t appear to have moved too far away from wherever Here was. Like that album, it’s another inoffensive, uninspiring set of indistinguishable love songs that range from subtle to slight to saccharine. Maybe I’m being too hard on him. After all, there are more than [...]
Despite listening to him since his days at Java Joes, Friday night was my first experience seeing Jason Mraz live. I was not alone in my first experience as it was Mr. A-Z's first show at the legendary Radio City Music Hall, a that fact did not seem lost on him as he pulled out all the stops for what was one of the most entertaining and memorable shows I've attended in the last few years. The evening started with Irish chanteuse Lisa Hannigan . I was really only familiar with her in the context [...]

N ow and then I like to mix up how I run things 'round here, Pretty Much Amazing. If you've been here for a few months, you may have caught the blog in a phase where I liked to mash one day's worth of posts into one, extra-large post. I want to give that another crack. Why? I guess you can say I'm not a huge fan of the monotonous life. This blog started out as a fun hobby, I'll be damned before I let my hobby become monotonous. [...]

I've always been interested in the music charts - I keep tabs on the happenings of America's music charts via Idolator's fantastic column, 100 and Single written by chart guru Chris Monalphy . But much more interesting is the Global Track Chart , which monitors the top songs in the world. This week at the GTC, Katy Perry 's "I Kissed A Girl" takes the No. 1 spot for the 7th week running. As it turns out, Katy Perry 's bi-curious summer jam caught on late in Europe and Australia. [...]

Yine klasikleştirdiğim repliklerimden biri olarak bir hayli süredir dinleyip de yazamadığım biri diyerek lafa gireceğim. Ama cidden öyle. Yeminle. Şaka bir yana cidden Pop namına son dönemde en çok dinlediğim isim kesinlikle. 1977 doğumlu Jason Mraz aslında geçen sene bizleri memnun eden Mark Ronson benzeri bir yetenek. Bugüne kadar birçok sanatçıyla çalışmış kendisi. Sonunda da kendi albümüyle karşımızda. Aslında Mark Ronson'a göre tarz olarak biraz daha Pop'a yakın ve daha naif bir yapısı var Jason Mraz'ın. Bu albümü incelediğim Pazar akşamüstü moduna gayet uygun aslında. Ama sevmemin sebebi bu değil, her modda dinledim şu güne kadar. Last Fm'den [...]

The just-launched MySpace Music is all about making money for the labels , right? So it would behoove them to have songs that the people want to buy available for purchase on the service, no? Come with me as I try to buy the top 10 songs on this week's Hot Digital Tracks chart by using MySpace's widgetry: 1. Pink, "So What" Streamable from Pink's MySpace page ; not available for purchase via MySpace Music widget, despite presence on Amazon. 2. Kanye West, "Love Lockdown" [...]
I came across some interesting Jason Mraz covers earlier today, which helped clinch what I was going to do for the feature today. The first set up is a cover of one of Mraz's songs, I'm Yours , off of his latest album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things , by Shael Riley, a nerd-core artist out of New York City. This is an interesting cover, a little angsty sounding. It strays more into the pop-realm than I really like when it comes to songs, but it's not enough to dismiss out of hand. [...]

It was recently Michael Jackson's birthday. Rumor is, he was fifty. 50!! Christ, I'm getting old. Lots of these are mashups/remixes, because MJ makes dance music, so that's appropriate. Whatever controversy surrounds him, you can't deny Michael's skills. Happy birthday! And no zip this time, because I just can't be bothered with it. A is for ABC Easy Like ABC (blend)-Jackson 5, Tittsworth, and Green Velvet B is for beatboxing on a Billie Jean jam (Michael Jackson)-Spearhead. C is [...]

![Strummin' In The Girls' Room: Jason Mraz's Folksy Ditty Climbs The Charts [100 And Single]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1234894_lg.jpg)
Last fall and winter, chart fans noted the return to the radio of a style that, until recently, was pretty unfashionable on Billboard 's Hot 100 : pure-pop female singer-songwriters. Strummier and sunnier than their Lilith counterparts in the '90s and closer in kinship to California's post-Joni ladies of the '70s, two gals with hard-to-spell names led this '07 boomlet with a pair of Top Five smashes: Colbie Caillat, with "Bubbly," and Sara Bareilles, with "Love Song." The surprise success of American Idol 's Brooke White, who seemed every week to be channeling Carole [...]
