To celebrate the release of his latest CD Battle Studies, John Mayer hooked up with FUSE TV and broadcasted his entire album debut concert from Beacon Theater in New York City.
The video above is the first in a series of over 15 YouTube videos that TryMJ has posted of the entire concert (split into different clips because of YouTube video restrictions). Head on over to TryMJ to watch all of the videos.

John Mayer’s upcoming album is supposed to hit shelves on November 17th, but it looks like some anxious fans (or not) have leaked his album just over a week before its release date.
It’s pretty classic Mayer stuff, which means it’s good, so you can either hear it now (you know what to do above) or wait until November 17th to buy it

This is the music video to John Mayer’s second single off of his upcoming album Battle Studies which gets released on October 27th November 17th. This is shaping up to seem like a pretty solid release based on this single and the previous one.

Here’s the music video to the first single off of John Mayer’s upcoming album, Battle Studies. It’s not a particularly great video, but I like the song. [via]

On Tuesday’s memorial to Michael Jackson, John Mayer was one of the musicians to perform a tribute song to the late singer. John Mayer did a rendition of “Human Nature” on his guitar which ended up being my favorite tribute song during the ceremony because it had very little singing at all (none, in fact, from John Mayer).
Anyway, if you like the song above, you can download John Mayer’s “Human Nature” mp3 here: Mediafire.

In Time Magazine’s special commemorative issue on Michael Jackson, they interviewed John Mayer on the topic of Michael Jackson and this particular paragraph struck me as sincere and true:
Michael Jackson proves, in a really sort of perverse way, that maybe we’re not as offended by behavior as we are entranced by music. And think about that. Think about what level of quality you must have to attain to have somebody say, “I know that you’re accused of having molested children, but I can’t hate you for that as much as I love you for your music.” I’m not saying that’s right or wrong; I’m saying that it’s fascinating. That somebody could be that great. That somebody could have that much of a marriage with your emotions just through music.
Despite all of the horrible things said about Michael Jackson, the fact remains that he made great music that transcends any doubt about his character. It’s this characteristic that made Michael continue to succeed despite harsh criticism.
In this day and age, I can only compare him to Chris Brown whose career is scarred forever because of his altercation with Rihanna. You don’t see Chris Brown bouncing back as popular do you? No, no you don’t, and that’s because he’s no Michael Jackson. Not even close.
