Rivers Cuomo is either really into infomercials or is a huge fan of Sky-Mall (and who isn't?!). One product in particular has apparently piqued his interest. He and the rest of the Weezer gang have become the #1 advocate for Snuggies. They like the snugglie blankie so much so, Cuomo recently performed in a custom leopard-print Snuggie in CA and now they have decided to put their own fleecie product out there dubbed the " Wuggie . " As Rivers puts it, "A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer [...]
I'm going to start this blog entry out by saying that (a) previous to reviewing Weezer's new album, 'Raditude', I had (b) a very minimal knowledge of the band's back catalog, and that (c) my view of the band was luke-warm at best. Keeping this in mind, I'm writing this review as a person who previously didn't like Weezer that much, listened to 'Raditude' and became a fan because of it.

Given the fact that neither Raditude nor Halloween was half as bad as we expected it to be, we've been trying to limit the anti- Rivers Cuomo puns as of late. The following video makes this especially hard, what with it being a three-minute video featuring the Weezer frontman getting interviewed by Sidney, the dog, yes the dog, from Raditude 's cover. So, we'll just leave it at that and let you make your own judgments from this point on...
Filed under: News , New Music Art-punk pranksters Les Savy Fav have premiered their first new material since 2008's digital-only live album 'After the Balls Drop' on kids' TV show 'Yo Gabba Gabba.' A one-minute, 15-second celebration of the joy of having new footwear, the song 'Shoes' provides the soundtrack to a short animation on the hyperactive Nickelodeon show. You can watch it after the jump. Featuring the lyrics, "Shiny and clean, they're my favourite colour green, my new pair of shoes," the song is something [...]
Before I go into any specifics about the album, I have a quick disclaimer: If the only Weezer you will listen to is Pinkerton and The Blue Album , stay far, far away from Raditude . Case in point: Lil' Wayne contributes a verse on one song. So, if Weezer's lean toward the mainstream sickens you, steer clear, because they don't even pretend to be anything less than a pop band on Raditude . With the disclaimer out of the way, I can now safely say that Raditude [...]
The new Weezer album is practically unlistenable. I did some searching around the blogs and I am not the only one to feel this way. What happened to this once favorite band of ours? Ever since Pinkerton, I've tried to convince myself the subsequent albums were good. They haven't been. They do have some great singles off the "Green" and "Red" albums, but in this day in age you need to come with a great album else we will just buy your singles off Amazon or iTunes. If you are ok with making sales a $1 [...]
Weezer Raditude Geffen Records 02 November 2009 by Luke Morton It was only last year when that Weezer released their sixth studio- and third eponymous album (dubbed The Red Album by fans and critics alike), but now they're back with Raditude , the album Rivers Cuomo should never have written. Maybe Weezer are trying to maintain their resurgent popularity (thanks the kids [...]

I know no ever reads this stuff...but I'm hoping today I'm wrong. What I've posted today is disc one of a 2-disc compilation. In order to get disc 2...I need all my readers to go out and support the artists. As much as I love blogging...it's not free. It's costly to host the files and have my own domain....just turn on all you audiofiles to great new music. So below is a link to a bunch of
Andrew Bird is keeping busy, or so reports the BBC 6. All whilst on a lengthy tour, Bird is finding time to score a film, create an art installation, and cover Kermit the Frog's "It's Not Easy Being Green." The film in question is titled Norman. It's a high school drama starring Adam Goldberg and is the first legit full-length feature Bird has scored. The art project is harder to explain. According to Bird, "I've been collaborating with this sculptor in Chicago who makes these horns that I play through - they are like speakers - to create [...]
Says unreleased Weezer song is going to be like "You Know You're Right" for Pinkerton fans. Oh really?

Eccoci all'appuntamento con la classifica settimanale degli album più venduti al mondo stilata Mediatraffic . Altre cinque nuove entrate in top10 questa settimana e due (l'inutile " Raditude " dei Weezer e il nuovo disco degli Slayer ) appena fuori dai primi dieci, alla undici e alla dodici. Alla 10 rimangono i Black Eyed Peas che questa settimana superano i 3 milioni di copie vendute del loro The E.N.D., alla 9 la soundtrack di New Moon in netto calo (probabile che risalirà appena esce il film). Sting scende [...]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me two more additional times and I take that as you feeling up my mother. How dare you think of what you have produced as acceptable? I'll spare you the common argument of the Blue album being [...]
