...I'm back to school again. After coming back from Florida and two trips to Pennsylvania, a lot has happened that I'm still not even caught up on. News has been scattered lately as everywhere I've stayed has had different T.V. channels, so I couldn't even keep consistent what kind of news I was watching. The politic-infested news we've been seeing is still completely engulfing the entire population of the U.S., but it's important we step back and look at what's going on outside the bloody world of politics and see what's going on music-wise. Going from Disney World and its princess love songs and the unforgettable, everlasting "It's a Small World" song OVER AND OVER again, back to sanity in the Blue Mountain Ski Lodge in Pennsylvania where the portable heaters were huddled around by resting ski instructors listening to Boston and Rush on their boom-boxes. The differences between the two places went way beyond temperature differences, as I saw how tailored music is to the audience it is playing for.
No matter how badly I wanted to travel on the "Mayercraft Carrier," a Carnival Cruise which sailed out of Miami, Fl. in the beginning of February, I checked out the setlists Mayer played and was glad of the variation between songs that he chose to play, with songs overplayed on the radio (but still great) and songs that have never touched a radiowave.
On another note, Arizona-based group The Format announced that they won't be making another album. Frontmen Sam Means and Nate Ruess didn't give an exact reason for the break-up, but more will follow if they post more on their MySpace (blog post by Nate, Feb. 4 - http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=2823645&blogID=354665121)
