"Maroon 5 is band you're going to be hearing a lot of for many years to come!"

Je4nne....are you worried about a sinister underground cabal of priapically challenged men coming to silence you for mocking their ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION? They way you typed it reminded me of the habit of typing Tom Cruise's faith as Sc*ent*logy (for fear of being googled by tenacious church-members with a grudge).

OK, I'm just being an arse now.

xpost: Is that Blender interview online?

Don't know your tastes, Sundar, but if you like 70s soul music at all, go get Songs In the Key Of Life. It's a mind-blower.

yeah but they both hop around and sound like they're gonna start scatting at any second.

The exact same thing happened with that Keane single (dunno what it's called, goes "Oh sympathy, where have you gone? etc etc blah).

When was "Harder To Breathe" released? It feels like it's been around for ever.

Blender: Why should we leave our air-conditioned mansions and come see your band open for John Mayer this summer?

Adam Levine: Because you'll get the most passionate, sincere, blistering, sweaty, sexual show you've ever seen in your life. We never want to appear aloof onstage - otherwise, it's not worth the price of the ticket.

Blender: Have you ever gotten lucky on the beach?

Adam Levine: No. I consider myself a really sexual person, but I like a bed, man. There's no sexier place to be than a sea of sheets, space to do whatever we want and no sand going up our asses. Give me space, give me wine, and give me Al Green. No distractions from the point to have amazing, beautiful, nasty sex.

Blender: Do you put ice cubes down your pants to cool off, or is that just us?

Adam Levine: That's just you. I don't ever want it to cool off down there. I'll lose my fire.

He also refers to buying a 19-pound bag of pot in Amsterdam and admits that his biggest fear is being attacked by a shark.

what the fuck? That song is terrile, "This Love" is where it's at.

Semi-Charmed Life > How's It Gonna Be > Faded >> This Love >>> Harder To Breathe >>> that new Maroon 5 single = Graduate >>>>>> Jumper

See, this is why I said "I hate to say it." I don't like Five for Fighting; I don't even like any other Maroon 5 songs. But "She Will Be Loved" - until I see it in like a commercial for a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie or something, what can I say?

They're not boring, they're EVIL (and not in an interesting Aleister Crowley sorta way). Five for Fighting -- much like Maroon 5 -- are the sonic equivalent of Soylent Green. Soulless product.

Agreed.

"Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved" are both good, though. They really need to embrace their inner soft-rockers rather than fight them.

The correct answer would be Thicke.

AnyHOW, I like it Maroon 5 in a masochistic kinda way. I know as soon as the song has finished, it'll be in my head for the next five frigging days. Which either means it's got a good hook. Or a good hook.

Che ingenuo sono giusto fuori!
Trovarmi la parte migliore!
