    Best bonus ever! I DVRed Jimmy Fallon last week (I know, I know) because the Pixies were performing, and I just got around to turning it on now, and it turns out that Weezer had performed at the very end of Conan and it's almost entirely caught on my recording. Who would've thought Jimmy Fallon would bring such goodness??

    Also, Rivers Cuomo is adorable, and I gotta say, while I'm not nuts about the rest of the album, I do like the single.

    Not so adorable? The hideously unfunny Fallon. Oy.

    @DahlELama: I know!
    This reminds me of the full week! that Morrissey was the musical guest on Craig Kilborn's show. It didn't compute but Moz seemed fond of him.
    Also, current cds in queue right now in my ride:
    ~Pixies
    ~Morrissey
    ~Smiths
    ~New Order
    ~Siouxsie & The Banshees
    This is music for grown-ups now, right?

    @phlox✔: Absolutely! I've been ODing on the Pixies, Weezer, and the Decemberists lately, but I found someone in my office's iTunes network with a wonderful collection of 90s hard and alt rock that is providing fabulously nostalgic afternoons filled with Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Poe, and Stabbing Westward.

    BTW, congrats on your shoutout here! [remotecontrol.mtv.com]

    Also, play "The Sweater Song" and then play this. Just a warning: some things cannot be unheard.

    I love Rivers Cuomo, but lordy, he is so emotionally fragile that this is going to cause him to get a shack in the woods and start typing manifestos.

    I don't think there's any way for me to explain how much I love Weezer. This band got me through every goddamn break up since the 8th grade, and I swear to god one day Only In Dreams will be my wedding song. Get well soon, RC!

    @James Del: Jesus, dude. "Only in Dreams," really? You and my ex-girlfriend, both. She failed out of Tulane in two semesters and U of A in three, got addicted to blow somewhere between but definitely first semester/Tuscon, and I haven't seen her in four years. So: deal, broken. You're out of the running.

    Not feeling the last album, or the two before that, but the Blue Album, Pinkerton, and the Green Album make up for any sins--musical or otherwise--that Rivers Cuomo could ever hope to commit. Also, saw them live this summer and they were so, so much better than I'd dared to hope. Glad to hear the fam is OK and here's hoping he's back on his feet soon.

    Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that, no matter how bad Weezer's newer stuff may be, it's still impossible to not love Rivers Cuomo. We need somebody out there in the "rock world" cheesing out in music videos and writing songs with people via Youtube. That shit is important.

    Get better, Rivers!

    @skt.smth: The fact that they're likeable makes it an even more sad, dispiriting and existential experience when one of their new songs comes on. What the hell happened?

    @Benny: What can I say? After hating them for years, I've recently developed a new appreciation for them. I think of Rivers Cuomo as a sort of Weird Al figure who isn't directly parodying anything. What you realize after a while is that this is a guy who "just wants to rock" and basically gets to live out that dream in an increasingly flamboyant manner for the simple reason that Weezer albums continue to sell. The more self-indulgent Cuomo gets, the funnier and more ingratiating a figure he becomes. It's impossible to take Weezer's new stuff seriously, and while that pissed me off in the past (with the "Green Album," for example), I've come to accept it as their raison d'etre. Just think of him as somebody you're supposed to have a laugh with. It makes Weezer 1000x better.

    @skt.smth: Sure, but old Weezer are one of my favorite bands. The first two albums are classic. I get that they're having fun (maybe?) and collecting a paycheque or whatever... but... I'd rather they were still awesome. Cos they were once.

    @eatsshootsleaves: I always thought that line was 'shared the jello'. Could my performance of El Scorcho at the church concert when I was thirteen have been lyrically inaccurate?

    You know, I actually didn't know anything about T.I. until my gf made me watch an ep of "road to redemption" and he's actually a really stand-up kind of great guy. I mean, he talks a lot about making mistakes and how he's pretty content to serve his time for the things that he's done (weapons possession charge).


    I think he's a great model for hip hop. Just a dude who's got a lot of integrity. But integrity in the classical, great kind of way where you take responsibility for your actions.

    Great job on that Llama Song link. Thanks to the "More Videos" function I'll now have half an hour of incoherent tweeked-out cartoon synth-pop branded into my head for the next three days.

    Another reason Hulu sucks: You can't find versions on YouTube that edit out the unfunny parts, leaving only the mildly smirkworthy parts.

    Costa Rica? Sounds like Heidi & Spencer and their "supercelebritydom" weren't needed in LA, and they've wormed their way back to "I'm a Celebrity (term used loosely) Get me Out of Here" for the third time.


    Time to up my Netflix.
