    I thought emo was all about being sad?

    Thanks, I think I'm starting to get a better grasp

    No, no, no, this is not my sister. She is fairly preppy, runs around in ugg boots and 200 dollar jeans. Shes more into non threatening hunky guy acoustic rock than emo shit. I dont even think john mayer is very emo at all. Is he?

    I was just joking about the genre, not your sister. From my understanding, John Mayer not emo, Garden State sdtck very emo.

    And there's absolutely nothing wrong with sad white guys playing acoustic guitars...

    My sister has the same thing going on and last year I got her:

    Van Morrison-Astral Weeks
    Beta Band- Three EPs

    She was very happy with those selections. Good luck!

    My girl likes that Garden State ost too. I'd say as far as mellow acoustic stuff goes, the first Iron and Wine album is great.



    Also Devendra Banhart "nino rojo" might do the trick. Or either Kings of Convenience albums.

    I can't believe no one has suggested these guys yet, especially for a 19 year old college freshman:

    Big Cosign on the Devendra. 19 year olds eat it up. I've turned a few girls w/similar taste onto brazillian singer/songwriters. You'd be surprised.


    Moreno Veloso.

    I mean, what is the connection between those guys and John Mayer? That they are both lacking in sac? If so, allow me to recommend a recent compilation:

    Maybe if the thread was called "My Sister Still Wets the Bed."

    I love this record.



    I don't know any J Mayer songs - but from the other suggestions that have been posted - I would say Lou Bond. So beautiful.

    Just out of curiosity, have you heard their other record? As good, better, worse, different?

    While I'm biased cuz I personally can't stand him, lemme say that if your sister ONLY listens to Mayer she's not going to want anything to do with Davendra... FAR too tweaked out, lo-fi, and demented... I would absolutely recommend him to fans of Charles Manson though...

    overall worse. i have not listened to it in a long time - i remember maybe a song or two being OK, but I think that first record is not something that can be recreated, you know? it sounds like they tried with the second one and it just did not work.

    Yeah, you're probably right. Just trying to steer away from that John Mayer garbage and recommend some real schitt. haha
