Besides Rivers’ vocals, there isn’t much difference between this Weezer cover of Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” and the original (which, as pointed out repeatedly in the comments, is not one of my Top 10 Radiohead Songs). Actually would have preferred a Weezified 4 chord rendition. It’s mostly just amusing/shocking, and strangely familiar to hear Rivers sing [...]

OK.
I promise this is not going to turn into a rant.
I will not be seeing Weezer on their upcoming Blue/Pinkerton BlinkerTour. Why? Because I don’t care anymore. Rivers, I just don’t care. But yes, yes Rivers, Weezer, as it refers to the Weezer that existed pre-My Chemical Romance duets and album titles as clothing line [...]

“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 left it without that title, so we just called it ‘Hurley.’ No words are on the cover [...]

Why bother? It’s gonna hurt me.
Yup, it’s Weezer and Weezy, but even Lil Wayne can’t save the Polow da Don produced Raditude track, “Can’t Stop Partying.” Raditude. Worst. Dwayne Carter could freestyle over microwave buzz and still kill it hard, but even his mediocre verse is wasted on this boring, poorly written embarrassment of a [...]

I know this already happened 2 blog days ago, but I felt the need to announce Weezer’s My Poproks Award for the Worst Album Name/Cover of All Time. I’d love to say the music was going to make up for it, but so far I can only sort of promise that.
Congratulations Raditude.
The
absolute
worst.

Yes, the 8-Bit video game music uprising continues.
Pterodactyl Squad is an online label for music inspired by video games that releases everything for free. About their latest download, Weezer’s 8-Bit Album, the site says:
“Do you remember that dream you had, where the sound chips from the beloved games consoles of your youth all got together [...]

Before I head out for a long weekend in LA (that may or may not include any updates), I give you another classic from the boys of Hood Internet; a mash-up of Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” and Weezer’s “El Scorcho.” The result is way better than Drake’s $2 million banger, IMNSHO.
The [...]

While The Red Album sort of retired on my iPod after one listen, I’ll admit that both “Pork and Beans” and “Troublemaker” are fun singles. The fun does not stop in Weezer’s new video, which breaks Guinness world records for most people in a custard pie fight, biggest game of Dodgeball, and the largest air [...]

So Weezer posted the above video on their Youtube channel, hinting at the cities they were going to stop in on their upcoming Red Album Tour. Then they announced their tour.
Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club will support. Dates below.
September 23 – Boston, MA @ Tsongas Arena
September 24 – New York, NY @ Madison [...]

It’s been a busy weekend. I’ve spent the last 4 days asking people if they’ve seen the new Weezer video, followed by a showing on Youtube. Which is funny, because this video is about youtube. It’s not really that funny. Anyway, I’m late on this but it’s just so lovable – I had to post [...]
