Por Vinícius Cunha Fotos por Esper e Schlaepfer / I Hate Flash! Mayer Hawthorne tinha motivos de sobra para distribuir largos sorrisos em sua segunda passagem pelo Circo Voador, novamente financiada pelo Queremos. Um dia após completar seu 32º aniversário, comemorado na apresentação de São Paulo , o multi-instrumentista arrebatou um público maior do que no ano anterior provando ser ótimo entertainer , além de músico acima da média. Repleto de referências do soul da década de 80, Mayer [...]
As you've all seen by having spent any time on this blog… Mayer Hawthorne (aka the other Mayo(e)r) is one of my favorite current musicians/acts/producers/djs. Here's a really cool track from Dennis Coffey - the man behind more hip hop samples than many. This Detroit guitar hero is indirectly responsible for many hip hop beats. He recently brought together a bunch of artists to remix/reinterpret his music for a free album called, Dennis Coffey Re-Worked. It's banging and you can download it for free here . All Your Goodies Are Gone - Dennis [...]

Sobe ao palco um cara branco de paletó, calças curtas e óculos de aros grossos, e emparelha-se a uma mesa que entre os acessórios musicais destaca uma miniatura dele mesmo, uma espécie de fantasia nerd. É Mayer Hawthorne o anfitrião da festa, no dia do seu aniversário, que tentaria garantir o soul e os sorrisos nos rostos. Dizer que o público do Cine Jóia se identificava com artista do show pode parecer óbvio, mas tenha mentalmente em destaque o rótulo mais comum a Mayer Hawthorne – o cara [...]

Mayer Hawthorne Centro Cultural Amanda, Santiago Martes 31 enero de 2012 Mayer Hawthorne, el alter ego de Andrew Cohen, quiere por sobre todo complacer. Lo quiere tanto, que parece imposible que Hawthorne no sea más que un pseudónimo para un tipo algo flacuchento de Detroit. Hawthorne, el personaje y la banda, es una proyección de la argamasa de influencias soul que van desde el upbeat más cándido de los Four Tops, la vocación masiva y elegante de Hall & Oates y hasta pequeños guiños a Prince circa "1999." [...]

Some dismissed Mayer Hawthorne's debut, A Strange Arrangement as overly contrived. But the record was truly one of the great growers of 2009, helped in no small measure by Stones Throw Records and Hawthorne's vintage connoisseur taste. Not to mention, Hawthorne's rare knack for pleasantly deluding people into believing that they could do what he does with the right snappy retro suit. Soon, a bunch of major labels were trying to break down Hawthorne's door and sign him to lucrative deals. [...]

Como les habíamos contado , hoy es el esperado reencuentro del soulman Mayer Hawthorne con el público chileno. Tras tocar el año verano pasado en nuestro país (reseña aquí ), el de Los Angeles esta vez viene a presentar How do you do (2011), su nuevo trabajo discográfico, sucesor del exitoso A strange arrangement , publicado en 2009. Hawthorne está en plena gira de promoción de su nuevo álbum, que apenas concluido su show en Chile lo llevará a presentarse en Brasil (2 y 3 de febrero) y más tarde en Nueva Zelanda [...]

Por Vinícius Cunha Fotos: I Hate Flash! Nem mesmo a chuva deixou desanimar as 1.200 pessoas que compareceram ao Circo Voador na última sexta-feira, 27 de janeiro, para prestigiar a dobradinha The Rapture+Breakbot , em mais uma mobilização do Queremos . Liderado por Luke Jenner , o trio subiu ao palco com a proposta de mostrar que evoluiu desde a saída do baixista Matt Saffer , e, sobretudo, soube se reinventar desde o lançamento do segundo álbum Pieces Of [...]

O local: Rio Grande do Sul. Sendo mais específica: em um pequeno paraíso em um hotel fazenda a menos de 10 minutos da praia de Xangri-lá, próximo de Atlântida, a pouco mais de uma hora de Porto Alegre. O público: gente que curte boa música. O que: M/E/C/A/Festival. No lineup, os nomes Cansei de ser Sexy , The Rapture , Mayer Hawthorne , Breakbot , The Twelves , Penguin Prison e Wannabe Jalva . E se isso não fosse o suficiente, festas com dj sets pra ninguém que goste de indie [...]
Mayer Hawthorne vs Daryl Hall - I Can't Go For That If you don't like this, there's something so wrong about your view of the world. Daryl Hall invited our boy, Mayer to his home for this amazing session. Here's a gem from it. ***dedicated to KTW - who's bday is coming up. City Hall's got love to give.***

M83 had a pretty huge year. A fantastic album as well as a little bit of a bust into the limelight with their single "Midnight City", which is a feature part of this mash-up. The other half, Mayer Hawthorne , didn't have as great of a year, but he is making huge strides in his hike to the top. You'll probably hear him on the radio eventually, if you aren't already hearing him occasionally. The group that brought these two together, albeit only in the soundwave world... The Hood Internet . These boys have a knack for [...]
I loved this track so much this morning, i just couldn't resist posting the mp3

Mmm this song is delicious. One of my favorite remix/mashup artists ( The Hood Internet ) remixes one of my favorite new artists ( M83 ) and one of my favorite indie-pop artists ( Mayer Hawthorne ). So needless to say, it was hard for him to fail, but even so... this gem rocks my freaking socks off. I love it, almost as much as The White Panda's remix of M832s Midnight City with Kanye's "The Good Life." Check out this song and tell me what you think, and note the emphasized M83 sax solo. If you dig it, you [...]

The Hood Internet is everywhere right now. This Chicago based production duo makes some of the best mashups currently being released. Straight jams. Made up of Aaron Brink (aka ABX) and Steve Reidell (aka STV SLV - pronounced Steve Sleeve), these djs/producers have been doing music together as The Hood Internet since 2007. Check these new jammers. Deny Strings - The Hood Internet - Fabolous x Nate Dogg x Classixx - Right Click/Save Link As to download. One Midnight With You - The Hood Internet [...]

Ayer comenzó la venta de los tickets para el retorno a nuestro país del crooner blanco Mayer Hawthorne. El cantante nos visitó el verano pasado , en plena efervescencia de su exitoso A strange arrangement (Stones Throw, 2009), debut que lo llevó a lo más alto del revival soul. Hawthorne vuelve a Chile con un nuevo disco bajo el brazo: How do you do , otra muestra de soul y pop con claros guiños al pasado glorioso del soul, sin duda el género que le quita el sueño al de Detroit. El [...]

sekoser Just picked this up over at SSSSound , a real top edit of Mayer Hawthorne's You Got The Makings Of A Lover by San Francisco trio Pillow Talk. A nice get-home-from-work Friday song. Real smooooth.

Mayer Hawthorne , Fitz & The Tanturms , and Gnarls Barkley are among the pioneers in the neo-soul movement. Since I hate when bloggers write some word like "neo-soul" and expect the reader to know what they mean by it, I'll explain in a bit more detail. To me, neo-soul is a word I thought I made up just 5 seconds ago, but found out is a more commonly used word in the world of music; I can't say I'm surprised though... It refers to the revival of soul music from the Motown-era, maybe even a little afterwards. [...]
