They are all shit compared to anything good.
James Blunt
Saw him on SNL. I'd say that he is to David Gray or Damian Rice what Coldplay was to Radiohead . . . i.e. dumbed down/watered down version.
Ah, I see. And David Gray/Damien Rice certainly aren't anything to get too excited about.

Unlike most poster/experts here, I own the CD. It's excellent. Hilton Hotel's ad execs. believe so too since they purchased rights to several of his songs and are running them with their newest ad campaign targeting couples/weekend/honeymoon demographics right now. A couple of his songs are soft and romantic; "Jimmy" is downright nasty and mean…so what.
His song Beautiful is getting play on several new network tv shows; you brainiacs can look up which ones. I like his music when I'm in the mood for something soft and folky…
I'm sorry I didn't get a ticket this a.m., and I'm positive it will sell out tomorrow within minutes. There are many other assholes like me out there who like him too.
Flame away, bitches.

Didn't the Flame Away Bitches appear in Marvel comix at about the same time as the Fantastic Four?
HAHAHAH, I still like Blue Merle…and I've been to the opera lately and was at a recent DC9 street/hip hop show too. So what?
Were you at the opera that Sam Donaldson appeared in?

Btw, what's your problem?
How novel some ad agency bought up a bunch of one artists songs…. groundbreaking i tell ya… so when do his other songs start appearing in ads for perscription drugs, etc…

My prob. Chaz? I guess you think I have a "problem" because I won't join in with you slamming just about every group booked at the 930 Club.
Anyone who posts here is entitled to an opinion without your freekin' negative, intolerant and narrow-minded shit all the time.
Slamming a guy because he sells music for ads/tv shows/commercial applications? What rock have you been living under? Jealous much?
Finally, Kosmo, I'm sorry I've yet to appease you with any of my postings.
I thought you were supposed to be a "moderator"…moderating what? Condescending and rude retorts?
Obviously, I won't be seein' any of you out at shows in the next few days. Flame away, bitches.

That james blunt record is one of the best ive heard in a long long time.
"tears and rain" and "Billy" are amazing.
But yeah, i think he's best compared to damien rice, david gray, not to jason mraz.

If most of us here are such shit-bags then why not just buzz off? I know I know……you have just as much right to be here as anyone and shame shame shame on those useless mods for not swooping in to protect you when people are being mean to you.

I say stick around and post often…..you're brand of crazy is good for a laugh when I need one.
And for the record I never said a word about this blunt guy and hardly ever say anything bad about any bands that get tossed around up here. But I did see him on SNL and found his whisper-singing singer-songwriter schtick to be quite dull and unimpressive. Oh dear, so much for my pollyanna persona…
Best way to settle this is to send y'all to a site where you can listen to two tracks, including the big hit, "You're Beautiful." I'm in the camp of "his voice makes me wanna wretch," but I just got back from The Hold Steady and LOVED it, and that guy's voice is one you love or hate. It's what makes the world go 'round.

I wont apologize for posting on this forum first as a long time member and secondly as a moderator. It should be fairly obvious when I'm posting in the moderator roll, as it hasen't happened very often. I could certainly fully adopt an alter ego to make all the snarky comments I choose.
When you open up your comments for debate, it's a bit pointless to then get uppity when I (and my new alter ego BookerT :) ), point out that we thing it's lame to justify his existence by the fact some ad agency picked up some of his songs for use in an ad campaign. That comment should have not been considered me acting as a moderator in anyway.
The primary role of forum moderator has always been to move any topic that is looking for tickets to the ticket x-change forum. Prior to the addition of that forum, the main forum used to be littered with ticket request topics and now such requests that do land here can be moved. I also if it's caught in time move any topics that can be answered better in FAQ forum. Shadrach and thatguy were added as moderators in order that club's point of view be represented. I'm sure any number of people would put black x's on my hands and send me outside if they thought I was out of line as a moderator.

I hate about 90% of all music, including bands that play the 9:30 Club. And I'll continue to slam crappy music that I hate.
good point… something i meant to mention in my little rant. I'm probably only interested in 25% of the shows at the 9:30 club in any given year, because I'm either not interested, don't care, etc. Seeing as I already have more music then I'll ever need, I don't feel obligated to checkout every new artist that comes down the pike, nor be an expert about. There are a number of bands I'm passionate about and many I just wish would go away.
If someone wants to pay a bundle for me to sit around and listen to every Tom, Sufjan and James, in order to expertly discuss them here make your best offer. Otherwise, I'll call like as I see 'em. i.e. Linda Perry James's producer is often called the Song Writing hack to the stars.

I think it may have just sold out, I just tried to buy tickets and they were unavailable 4 minutes after they went on sale. Either it soldout or my computer doesnt like me.
Got 2 tickets. I just wanna see Boy Least Likely To…anything decent out of this Blunt guy is just gravy.
