This guy was on Conan last night and it reminded me that I wanted to post this a while back.

Weezer is killing America

Yes Roscoe, I am up for the challenge.

Any right thinking person believes that Rivers Cuomo died in a plain crash shortly after the release of Pinkerton. Pinkerton, like Weezer (Blue Album) was awesome. There is not a bad song on either album. But it has all been down hill from there. There was a good song on the green album...maybe. The video for "Pork and Beans" was something. There is no other way to explain the general shittiness of Weezer.

I believe we can all agree on this point. But than this happened:



That is the cover for "Weezers" forthcoming album Hurley. I shit you not. From Spinner.com:

I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if we left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face

"Weezer" / Fake Rivers Cuomo I applaud your overwhelming bullshit. We know you have a lot of nerd cred. "In the Garage" alone ought to buy you a laugh time of passes. But 75% of Lost sucked. 15% of the good was watching Jorge Garcia Hurley around.* Now you have gone and made one of the few things that kept me watching that damned show terrible.

You are a cultural terrorist. This is like Michael Bay making Transformers. This is like The Simpsons's stupid Ke-dollar sign-ha intro.



*The remaining 10% is mostly Ben related.

Guster's new Single

Bad Bad World by guster

Apocalypitca - Heldon

Apocalyptica with Till Lindemann from Rammstein on vocals covering David Bowie's Heroes in german? Yes.

Battlestar Galactica v Beastie Boys

So, it turns out that Battlestar Galactica is nothing more than a 5 year attempt to remake the music video for Sabotage.

Lights, WoW, Yes

There is an interview with Lights up on wow.com: 15 Minutes of Fame: Lights, camera, Death Grip

Who is "Lights", you ask?

Why, Lights is the girl in this video:


Lights is yes.

She is also the girl in this vide:

"Saviour" Music Video


Again, Lights is yes.

Seether ruins Careless Whisper

I enjoy Wham! just as much as the next guy. So when I heard Seether's cover of 'Careless Whisper' I thought, "Hey, I like Wham! so I can appreciate this." That is, until I came to a shocking realization; Seether fans now like 'Careless Whisper'...and they think it is a Seether song. Which is not terrible...

Until you watch THIS.

Seether Fans
Throwing the Horns
To Careless Whisper

You don't fucking do that in civilized society, ok? You don't fucking...it's...christ, it's George Michael for fuck's sake. And this guy is never gonna dance again.

Ok? It's not that he might dance again. It's not as if there is a possibility that in the future he will dance again. No. He's never gonna dance again. His guilty feet have got NO rhythm. Not some rhythm, not an approximation of rhythm. No fucking rhythm. And, sure, it's easy to pretend. But he knows, he fucking knows, god damn it, that you're not a fool.

You don't fucking throw the horns to that. This man is baring his soul; he is never gonna dance again. Show some respect!

From Russia with [chat]

Yes, that is Hotel California, and yes it is real.

This is why we invented YouTube

Reminded why I hate pop music

I've been bored at work today, with a light task load so I decided to hit up cnn. To my horror this is what I found:

The most popular singles of the past 50 years

Looking through the top 10 displayed only 4 of those songs don't force me to cringe (The Twist, Smooth, Mack the Knife, and Hey Jude), and only two of those (Mack and Jude) do I actually enjoy. It reinforces my lack of faith in US society, not merely today but for the past 50 years.

I am a bit relieved that the top 3 didn't completely suck, though 6 of the next 7 were brutally awful.
