New album that was given to me as a gift…
John Mayer Continuum – home grown Canadian boy breaks out with a bluesy funk record that delves into some deeper and more haunting themes. The R&B saturated grooves are hypnotizing and ‘clever’. Here’s a lyric I have not quite got my head around yet but I am sure it has something to do with a statement about how religion gets saddled with the global conflicts we see…

belief is a beautiful armor
but makes for the heaviest sword
like punching underwater
you never can hit who you're trying for
some need the exhibition
and some have to know they tried
it's the chemical weapon
for the war that's raging on inside
oh, everyone believes
from emptiness to everything
oh, everyone believes
and no one's going quietly

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for
