our time is short

[hope]

proofpudding made an absolutely adorable, glee-inducing samndean vid to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours".

I have been meaning to make a Mraz pimping post for a while, esp as his new album has just come out and I'll be seeing him again in August (zomg!).

As I was saying to tvm in the comments of her rec post for the above vid, as much as I love Mraz and that song, the version (from the new album) the vidder uses is probably my least favourite. Because the thing with Jason Mraz is that he tours a billion times more than he actually releases albums. And he encourages bootleggers and "illegal" distribution of his music. So basically, having listened to multiple live, acoustic and garage versions of those songs for years, the album sounds a bit too over-produced for me.

But that's ok. The album is 12 songs, and I have on average about 4 more awesome versions of each of those songs; plus it came with a bonus disc with even more live versions. So there is plenty of Mraz fabulousness to be gorged upon :D

So anyway, to share the Mraz love (as encouraged by the man himself), I will share my favourite version of the song: I'm Yours live at Montalvo Winery, Saratoga, California (2006).

I can seriously not listen to that song without getting a huge grin and overflowing with glee. ♥MRAZ♥


And now I go to bed. See, I went to go to bed before, but then I had to listen to that track on my ipod, so then I had to get up, upload it and make an LJ post.

Leaving unlocked because Mraz is all about the free love music. And is also a giant dork (anyone needing convincing of this can friend fresh_mraz).

I STILL HAVE NO MRAZ ICON.

Oh, perfect.

So, you don't know me, but I stumbled on this post via friendsfriends and it made me so happy, because I was just watching that vid and wondering if I could track down that song. So, yay! Awesome! Am downloading, thank you!

[hope]

Yaaay! Happy to share the Mraz love. Enjoy!!

I love Jason, I really do. He's damn funny - and has the greatest sense of humor and irony. See his latest blog entry. The bottle of hand lotion and the Kleenex are totally inaccidentally placed...

your new album came with a bonus disc???

[hope]

And the wall-splatter in the third pic! *guffaws*

Yep, I bought mine on iTunes, it was a few dollars extra for a "bonus disc" of live recordings. I can burn/upload for you?


i think I do not have a mraz icon because i am too fond of yours. There's no way I can better it!

I'm willing to share my Mraz-icon if you want.

and... upload, pretty please? *drools*

I still have to upload my Mraz-pics, btw.

[hope]

omg yes! Upload! I don't even try to take pics at gigs, it just stresses me out worrying if they're going to turn out, and feeling self-conscious at annoying people around me etc.

I have just stolen your mraz icon!!! <3333333

As I bought the album from itunes, I will have to burn it to cd then re-rip to upload a non-DRM version. I will get to it! Prod me if I haven't done it by the weekend?

and btw - that Sam and Dean vid is awesome, even though the song doesn't fit for me - too Reggae for the Winchesters. and well - you know how much I love that song.
