You and I Both: Jason Mraz

(tags music, video, USA, San Diego)

Before purchasing that new monitor I was comparing it to the others. They were all showing a bunch of US music artist video clips, but one of them kept stealing my attention from the evaluation: Jason Mraz's "You and I Both" (swiped video). I wanted to watch that video again. There was just something about his voice that called me again. To me, it sounded "honest". Luckily the music video credits displayed and I wrote it. Got home, checked the Wikipedia page, which led to his official page, and some swiped clips. I did more random listening, and his live "Sleep All Day" at the House of Blues blew me away, while the "The Remedy" on the Caroline Rhea show was just powerful. (In fact I better stop now so I can finish this post.)

One thing I found interesting is that he won Artist of the Year multiple times at the my home town's San Diego Music Awards. Ah the things I miss.

Where has this guy been? Or, where I been? Actually Jason Mraz's CDs have been released in Japan already. So I made it a point to check out every CD shop in Nipponbashi while looking around for the normal otaku stuff. I finally found his first official album Waiting For My Rocket To Come at Disc Plaza. w00t! I kept humming that half remembered tune all the way back home. Tried to find something similiar but yeah, George O'Sullivan isn't close. Ripped that CD up and now I'm worried of over-playing it.
