Mayer Hawthorne

I got the new Mayer Hawthorne lp on Stones Throw. What the kids call "buzz" and "hype" was palatable around his 7" that dropped a few months ago (on a heart shaped 7") : a really pretty super, catchy jam "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out":



Good jam, right? So when Turntable Lab gave it a "Recommended", and a Captain Crawl search was fruitless, I decided to drop the $7.99 for it on iTunes.

Meh. That one jam is the best, and the "is it real or is it memorex?" soul grows tired. It's like Temptations, etc. vibe, but it isn't as endearing as that one jam. Save your money and just listen to that youtube clip above 100 times.
