by brittanybf and drewfontsLet's get it out of the way now: Weezer will never be better than Blue (or critic pick Pinkerton). Thirteen years ago, their sweaters came un-did, giving way to half-assed rap 'party' songs...Who saw that comin'? While parts of their latest album actually impressed us, that doesn't mean much. Prior to Raditude, it's been a good four albums of mediocrity from the band....

I posted up the AOL Sessions of this track a few days ago but now we have the actual track. I think Chamillionaire defintely did alot better than Weezy did. Check out the new remix.Weezer Feat. Chamillionaire – Can’t Stop Partying (Remix) [Very Hot]

Weezer are now writing nothing but unabashed pop songs, aiming for nothing but the top of the charts and hoping you'll come along for the ride to multi-platinum glory. Word of advice: don't.Let's just be honest for a moment: the Weezer of the 21st century has been perpetually dogged with a very simple (and alarmingly frequent) criticism -- that they aren't the same Weezer that emerged in 1994. ...

For $29.99, you too can be part of Weezer's promotional gimmick: Publicist: "The Snuggie blanket is more than a fun idea, impulse buy or kitschy TV ad; it is a truly innovative and ultimately functional product. It's made of lightweight, soft fleece that keeps people of all ages warm indoors and out, with large, roomy sleeves allowing for free movement. It answers a basic need shared by many - ...

After the late 90s fad of rap/rock groups that annoyed just about everyone, I think it's safe to say music fans are still a little skeptical of what happens when the genres decide to collaborate. The latest oddball couple ready to mash-up styles are Weezer and Lil Wayne, who have both accumiliated a bit of goodwill in their respective genres. Here's what Rivers Cuomo told MTV News:"Weezer is al...

By now most people have heard that Weezer's sixth album will be the band's third self-titled effort in it's history. Like the previous self-titled albums, which have taken to the color scheme (i.e. The Blue Album, The Green Album), this one will definitely be referred to as The Red Album, according to the band.Producers on the new album include Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself. With...

RADITUDE SNUGGIE © The new Weezer album Raditude is being offered in a combo with a special Weezer snuggie. I guess they ran the snuggie up the flag poll and it flew. Lets brainstorm and come up with ideas for more combos that would be simpatico for musicians and products. Throw some ideas against the wall and see if they have legs. Let's run them through the grinder and see who salutes.

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has got some serious explaining to do and we're sorry if that seems like a bit of a pushy statement but really, he does. Last years The Red Album was a huge let down and though it displayed a band moving on from their angrier past and embracing the tweenier, poppier 'now', it also showed a once great band loose most of their respect from their older fanbase.

I don't bash a lot of music on this blog. Which isn't always easy, because I get a lot of crap emailed to me that I would consider, well, crap. But knowing that most of the artists I get info from are trying to make their way and just looking for an ear or two to listen and maybe a post if you like what you hear I try only to post about bands or music that I enjoy and not give those other bands...
