Eleanor Roosevelt said,
“Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people.”
I want to have a great mind. But here I am discussing Eleanor Roosevelt already.

I believe there will soon come a day when everyone on the planet lives in an extreme make-over home, has a made-over hair-do, and drives a pimped ride and/or custom chopper.

I got stuck in Manila today. My flight was scheduled to leave this morning, but due to snow in Tokyo we are grounded for another 24 hours in the tropical Philippines.

My arm is remarkably better. I'm gaining more and more strength everyday. Today i visited my acupuncurist as well as a Qi-Master (pronounced chi). His work is based on the universal energy, the Qi, and it's his job to get the energy in our bodies circulating again so we can be in balance with the rest of the energy orbiting around us. In lamens terms, he "loved" my arm.

Song for a friend – This song was the last song of my set on the curbside tour and was always intended as the album’s grand unwinding finale. The way it bookends the project with Crane is so appropriate. I’d always wanted to start this album where Rocket left off and Crane does just that. This song I think captures the hope of the next record already as it features everyone, guests included, on the album, back for one last hoorah.

Please don’t tell her – this was the last song written for the album and I’m so glad it happened. After Steve left from his week with us in San Diego in pre-production he said he’d love to hear one song that really rocked and that I should put on my rock voice and write it. It only took about two hours to find it. I grabbed a few chord progressions that Eric and I had been playing about 5 years prior and finally added a story to the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1287 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 15:03:35 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1289/t/Mr-A-Z-sneak-peak-7.html
FUN FACTS!!!!

This is one of my favorites on the album and it features Rachael Yamagata on guest vocals. It’s an upbeat Queen styled duet about two people who can’t seem to get connected because their phone service has a strange delay in the message delivery. I wrote this song with Dan Wilson of Semisonic fame when I spent time in Minneapolis rehearsing for the curbside tour. I was experiencing traumatic cellular withdrawal at the time and he was... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1289 Wed, 08 Jun 2005 21:41:10 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1288/t/sneak-peak-nipples.html
Plane – I’ve always believed that “Track 8” on any record is the stand out track. It just so happened that Plane made it to this slot by natural selection. This song is massive and once again shows Lillywhite’s awesome influence in the studio. Eric Hinojosa gets tons of credit for taking a guitar-based demo and transforming it into something symphonic. Everything from grand pianos, strings, and the call of the Ewoks is featured in this track.

The Demo... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1288 Mon, 06 Jun 2005 16:41:35 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1320/t/Mr-A-Z-sneak-peak-5.html feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1320 Tue, 17 May 2005 23:39:42 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1318/t/Mr-A-Z-snack-pack-4.html feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1318 Tue, 10 May 2005 23:28:34 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1317/t/Mr-A-Z-sneak-peak-3.html
Wordplay – Here it is. This is the first single and is meant to sound exactly as so. It’s a straight satire on what a first single should sound like, full of tongue and cheek “I know what’s going on here” kind of attitude. It is my story after all. Once you get past the initial shock of the song’s pop velocity, you’ll find the soft center composed by a happy little boy making a masterful mockery of his own agenda, beating the average critic to the punch, if I do say... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1317 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 06:17:23 GMT http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1316/t/The-Prevalence-of-Humbug-04-13-05.html Possible Titles for today’s entry:

I went and saw U2 tonight in San Diego, which was a blast, but I got to hang with Steve Lillywhite again for a few minutes which was lovely, and that reminded me about this little sneak preview game on this thread. Steve also produced the newest U2 album in addition to all the other best U2 and Dave Matthews’ moments caught on tape. Steve is unconventional in his method of recording/producing. He goes into each album with no preconceptions whatsoever, and becomes a member... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mraz) http://rightkindofphrase.yuku.com/topic/1315 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 06:00:35 GMT
