The only thing keeping this inventive wedding invitation from being perfect is the soundtrack, so feel free to mute it and substitute your own tune. Then sit back and marvel.
Come on, the soundtrack could be FAR WORSE than Vampire Weekend...
Like what? John Mayer?
Sure, for starters. Or Coldplay, a Dave Matthews ballad, or any of the Grey's Anatomy-type montage soundtracks, which is what I imagined when first reading "wedding invitation".
Point taken.
Makes me want to crash the wedding. Anyone up for a road trip to the 'nati?
These are incredibly creative. I saw a video wedding invite..wish I could find where it was, I'd post the link..just so fun!!
Also, I agree...that soundtrack wasn't so bad..(.and I was under the impression that John Mayer was a pretty respectable guitarist and rated highly among the guitar-world people. I've seen some video of him playing guitar and he was pretty awesome...it wasn't the bubblegum stuff of his that you hear on the radio
Well, I'll give John Mayer props for his sometime comedic skills, but my kudos ends there.
This is a real question...I'd really like to know...why do people hate John Mayer so much?
I read some of the stuff out there written about him and it cracks me up, I mean WHAT did this guy do...am I unaware of something?
Well he seems nice enough, I don't hate on him. Just don't care for his music.
I can't stand his music--god, I hate his songs (and his whole puppy dog aura)--but he is a very good musician.
John Mayer is musical valium. If I listen to a John Mayer song, I can't operate heavy machinery for 4 to 6 hours.
LOL....ok...nobody here likes John Mayer, I can understand that...but you're not explaining the hate for this guy.
I mean, I read stuff out on the interwebs about him and it's visceral the negativity! And I don't get it. It's fine not to care for someone's music...different strokes, right?
But where does this visceral reaction come from? Is it the puppy dog thing that matilda referenced? But even that wouldn't get the the heart of it. I just don't get it.
Insane jealousy, that's all.
Well there are other more talented rich guitarists to be jealous of. Maybe he's just kind of bad.
You're probably right.
Yeah, jealousy. That's it. My problem is that I want to run through the halls of my high school, but I've never had the chance.
Don't give up on your dreams!
It's hard for me to capture what, exactly, I hate about the harmonic bubble gum John Mayer calls music ... I don't think I'm enough of a music connesseiur to really get at what bothers me. I don't know the right terminology. But there's something about the bland, wispy voice and the emptiness of the songs and the poutiness of the lips and yeah, the whole puppy dog thing that drives me absolutely nuts. A song comes on the radio and I can't help but think, "That's not music. That's an aural vanilla wafer." I feel like his CDs should be packaged in a white box with black lettering in helvetica that says, simply, "Song."
Yeah, he's respectable in the way that some guys have the skills (not talent or creativity mind you) to knock out some Stevie Ray Vaughan type noodlin'. Taste is subjective though. Not my bag of already done better noise.
yeah...kinda bunk call on dissing Vampire Weekend there
The problem with John Mayer? Easy.
You can't be born with a suburban silver spoon in your mouth and sing/play the blues.
What's he got the blues about? Did the 'ball team lose the homecoming game?
I know, right! How could some white middle-class male ever experience sadness? Impossible, I say.
Wow. It's amazing how this thread got hijacked within 5 posts. My friend sitting next to me is amazed how this thread shows unified disdain of John Mayer (not that I'm a big fan either) Personally, I think it's a bit hilarious.
Now let's move on to Wayne Brady.
This is the second time in the past couple of days that Tankboy has linked to a really cool youtube vid (the other was the Sasquatch dancer) while taking pains to make sure we know that he is much too cool to enjoy the music in the vid. I point this out because it might be helpful to Tankboy, if he, like so many of us, is always on the lookout for ways to be less of a douchebag tomorrow than we were today.
Oh, I don't think that's possible.
