For me the week sucked and I totaled my car. So this my dear friends is the most perfect of endings. My favorites Adam Levine and his back up singers Maroon 5. Again, if you have seen Levine penetrate you already are holding close the aversion bucket (this is an American Horror Story reference btw) as am.
Levine is all over the place and the ladies LOVE this guy. I asked around and was shocked at how popular this dude is. I don't get it but then again I like men. The 'Moves Like Jagger' stuff has killed me since it was released. The notes hit are yodels gone bad but Maroon 5 is a great example of dumbed down mass produced generic and homogenized pop rock.
Together as Maroon 5 since 2005, these guys have earned their funds, now scram. And since there were no natural disasters this week I don't think SNL is going make me laugh- but the band will.
Iman continues: I was merrily watching the "Trash Wang" concert at Gramercy Theater when Helen texts me: "I'm sick, I'm going to bed". So I finished the show, grabbed a cab and rushed like hell home and missed Maroon 5, singing "All Night Long" (I'm guessing -9 weeks at the top of the Hot 100) but in time for song # 2, "Daylight".
I must admit to being a big fan of Maroon 5 even since they blew me away at MSG some four years ago and since then I've forgiven Adam Levine most of his sins against nature and tats, "The Voice" for instance, because I know he has what it takes to kill on stage. "Daylight" is the third song on and my bet the third song off Overexposed and it is a good ballad. Maroon 5, dressed in gray, give it a fine performance, just straighahead, no back up tapes, nothing. And despite my immense dislike of his haircut, Levine was restraint and poignant. A good song.
That makes Maroon 5's fourth appearance. Both Trash talk and Mellowhype are in town, whatever happened to SNL's reputation for being cutting edge. Belushi got Fear a gig back in the day, cmon guys, how about some adventurousness once again?
*Hey its Hel day late dollar short but yeah I searched out "One More Night" and the band dressed in monotone orange actually sounded ok. Levine's vocals at times verge on yodel and that pedo mustache thing (prostate cancer awareness participant?) he's growing is highly disturbing but this being said… it wasn't torture. I can see how this provides a happy go lucky pop sound for day to day life. Simple and toe tapping enough for the thickest of brains and with a catchy chorus to drown out the monotony of the simpletons world. Not torture- but not enjoyable. Just sorta there, like sprig of parsley on a buffet plate. Thanks for covering me Boss… I appreciate it.
