lol at the race bait too. I imagine The marketing guy saying 'ok, so we need to show that Maroon 5 is not a white man's band, let's appeal to everyone, we need to show asian people, black people all vibing to maroon 5.' Surprised there's no gay wedding or mexican wedding, maybe the mkt guy thought that was a bit too much.

Just heard this quote on VH1 by some stooge from Entertainment Weekly in regards to their video, "This Love". Now, while I'm sure they're perfectly nice guys, doesn't the notion that Maroon 5 have a long, successful career in front of them seem positively laughable? I mean, Maroon 5 are just this year's Third Eye Blind. Or am I missing something, and they really are the fuckin' second coming?

A bit weird that they still bother with the pretense of being a band when their last three albums have all been heavily produced by Benny Blanco and Max Martin and Adam Levine is the only member of the band who contributes to the songwriting. I just would've expected him to have completely elbowed them out by now given that he's pretty much the only person ever focused on in their videos, performances, etc.

I like how they brought in a sixth guy but didn't change the name to maroon six. Maybe it keeps the rest on their toes.

Also can't believe any pop-rock act older than these guys have managed to maintain any top 40 viability by hook or by crook. Even monsters like train and nickelback fell short this year. Rod Stewart stuck around for more than 20 years! Can't any alt act show an Aerosmith like urge to serenade children?

matchbox had a song hit #40 in 2012, thomas' highest charting song with or without them this decade
― da croupier, Saturday, 17 January 2015 23:20 (nine years ago) link
Thomas and the 'box quietly shifted to the adult contemporary zone right around the millennium, basically right after their original heyday, which seems to have been a smart move given the chart fates of most 90s rock acts. Their chart performance belies their ubiquity in mall soundtracks, etc.; "Unwell" and "Little Wonders" probably get more recurrent play than anything from Yourself or Someone Like You.

Last summer I asked a certain Pitchforker who lives in L.A. if Levine doesn't represent the industry's ideal pop star, i.e. they want him collaborating with everybody, writing songs for everyone, gets invited to all the parties. "You have no idea," he said.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 18 January 2015 14:38 (nine years ago) link
I'd happily read an Adam Levine Pitchfork column.

I finally figured out that that song I like on the radio that sounds a bit like Bruno Mars is these guys. It took me a while because I couldn't remember any of the lyrics except for "Sho' 'nough" which is kind of hard to search for.

they're fully terrible now and have always been at least halfway so, but if someone with taste (/disregard for band egos and label imperatives) were behind their eventual "best of" that shit would be timeless
― soyrev, Monday, 27 April 2015 04:57 (nine years ago) link
Yes, I misheard the title - due to the high pitch and weird stress on the second syllable, I think. I think I liked it better before I understood the lyrics, which are kind of whatever.

Saw a funny Neko Case post about last night. Something like "fuck all of you for making such a big deal about half of Janet Jackson's nipple when that greased pig was allowed to perform on TV."

The other funny thing I saw was someone saying Adam Levine looked like he was starring in a remake of Memento if all of his tattoos were reminders of where he left his Juul.

He's like the singer from Buckcherry with a better manager and, I assume, a worse falsetto.
