this thread is a hate crime.

While it is pretty depressing, a lot of it is said in humor.  Tonight at the show Jay even laughed at some of his own lyrics.  I had a great time at the concert, and I am by no means a depressed emo guy.  Anyways, that's just my 2 cents.
 
 Btw, the crowd loved the show.

This artist, like Jack Johnson, reminds me of every douche bag back in college with an acoustic guitar.  They remind me of the retard on the staircase who gets his guitar smashed by Bluto in Animal House. Please America, don't buy.

wow, that's harsh.  don't get the jack johnson comparison at all.  rather subdued, melancholy guy with a guitar, i'd compare him to beth orton circa trailer park.
 
 maybe he has some crazy media overexposure that i'm unaware of, but it was a chill singer/songwriter show.
 
 for sure there are worse acts out there that are more deserving of your hate.  let this cat slide.
 
 btw way, pig, love the ref. thinking of giving my love a cherry with no stone...

He did a lot of sucking in Shortbus.

If you're gonna trash the guy, you could at least get the website correct.

 p.s. he's good to look at.
 
 also, not comparing him to Jack Johnson at all. I'd take Jack Johnson over him.

is this even serious?  is he talking about Moisturizing?  trade my guitar for a tractor?
 
  did jack black produce this?

I'll admit, I don't know jack about this guy's music, and I'm probably not even going to listen, but I have two questions:
 
 1) Is this the "gay-friendly" artist that people are all hot for?
 
 2) Does he really sing about the shit sonick mentioned below?
 
 Oof.

no, you have to listen.  listen to the first song on his myspace, "cant have it all"
 
  I suppose its really not bad of a song if it was a joke.  Sometimes music is tolerable until you see how seriously some people are taking it.
 
   surely no one that names their debut cd "Godamned" is taking themselves seriously?

I wonder if he wrote this verse standing in front of a mirror.
 
 "youâ??re a tease, youâ??re a cockblocker,
 youâ??re a loudmouth bitch, and a big talker,
 but thatâ??s okay
 youâ??ll grow up someday"

[kosmo vinyl]

so which one of his songs is likely to so show up on Grey's Anatomy?  seems like a whole cottage industry of "singer/songwriters" has developed with airy vocals, bland tunes, non challenging to the masses dreck.  the last paste magazine was overloaded with this crapola.

[azaghal1981]

Now that's funny.

I admit I know little about him.  I've only heard a few things from him.
 
 If he's not a serious artist, the joke's on me.
 
 I love Trailer Park.  Its a fairly innovative album (for 10 years ago, or whatever) by someone with unique vocals who writes great lyrics.  This guy just seemed, to me, like another douche bag with an acoustic guitar.  He just sounds like your typical acoustic guitar artist.  Maybe I'm missing something.
