Ever Heard of James Blunt?
I hadn't, before last night. He was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live (the host was Dane Cook -- I just know I'm gonna blow a beverage out my nose one day watching him, he's so funny!). Anyway, I often fast forward through the musical guest if I don't like who it is or don't know who it is and am not drawn in by the first 30 seconds or so of the song. I've already watched his set a few times now. I don't know what it is, but I can't get those songs out of my head. I think I need to find his CD! It's called Back to Bedlam, and all I know about him is it's his debut CD and I believe he's British. So yeah -- I think I need to go find the James Blunt CD and a Dane Cook comedy CD. He has a site, and I found this pic posted on the message boards on his site by someone who saw him perform, I think, on Friday:
The songs he played were "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover." Loved 'em.
As for Dane Cook, his opening monologue was straight stand-up. I laughed my ass off -- and he topped it off w/a bit about launching a cashew off what he called his "lead singer." If you didn't see it, you should find it. SO funny! I can't wait 'til he comes through town:
Music and comedy are the best. Other than that and lip gloss, I really don't think I need much else!

What type of music does he sing? I've never heard of him, but I hardly know the singers they have on that show anymore. Besides, I'm usually sleeping when SNL comes on. Oh, I'm getting so old and lame.
I'm no music critic, so it's hard for me to even make that designation unless it's completely obvious -- but I'd say the songs I've heard constitute mellow, melodic and pop-like. Two comparisons I've seen are Elton John and Norah Jones.
P.S. Sometimes I'm up for it, but I generally Tivo SNL!
