Artist: Weezer

Every story has a beginning. Mine starts with an email from Sebadoh / Dinosaur Jr 's Lou Barlow that went something like: "They've asked us to be on the Weezer Cruise. Apparently Rivers is a big fan. They asked Dinosaur Jr, too, but I don't think J's into it." Over the next few months,  a dozen+ alt-rock bands get added to the bill, J Mascis miraculously agrees, and soon I'm booking my berth aboard the Bonkers Boat for the inaugural Weezer Cruise . Setting sail January 19-23 from Miami to Mexico, the theory was that [...]

We're not sure exactly what's behind the recent nail art explosion, but as long as it continues to produce amazing pop-culture tributes on a tiny, personal scale, it has our attention. Last week, we brought you the blood-flecked fingertips of a Dexter groupie and some Arrested Development Mr. Banana Grabber press-ons in our roundup of amazing TV-inspired nails . Before that, we went highbrow with literary nail art paying tribute to everyone from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Harry Potter. Now, nail art superfans, are you ready to rock 'n' roll? Today's haul of [...]

 Хорошая поп-песня всегда строится на контрасте, и никогда не узнаешь, какая из половинок используемой формулы сотрётся, а какая — пройдёт с тобой через долгие годы. Я не слышал эту песню Weezer ещё, наверное, со средней школы, и помню « Buddy Holly » бодрым поп-панк хитом, под который было круто отрываться, поставив песню на весь дом. Теперь, времена изменились, и Ольга Белл за три с лишним минуты не только показывает ту грустную нотку, на которую я бы никогда не обратил внимания раньше, но и делает это талантливо, с невероятной лёгкостью. Странно, но именно в таком виде я всегда и [...]

Being a misfit within the misfits, Owl Mag writer, Bernadette Harris, wriggled between '90s country and classic rock.

By Alex Brenner Although I must say 2012 has been pretty good musically so far, I always find myself digging up some older records. When I say older I'm talking about late 902s and up, not the classics. Talking with fellow A-Lister Rube, the other night we did a little reminiscing and it got me thinking about some great records of the past. The ones where you say "Oh man, I have not heard that in forever!" I do listen to tons of new music too, however, these are some you may have forgotten about or [...]

Este año la banda inglesa de synth pop Talk Talk cumple treinta años y recibe un tratamiento digno de la realeza. No sólo se está preparando un disco de covers, sino que se espera la salida de un libro. El ilustrador y responsable de las tapas de los discos de la banda, James Marsh ha coleccionado todo el trabajo artístico que ha hecho durante todos estos años para la banda y lo compiló en un libro de edición limitada llamado Spirit of Talk [...]

Los fans de Weezer están en fase de recuperación después de pasar un fin de semana en el cielo. Y es que Heaven es el nombre del crucero en el que Weezer y sus fanáticos zarparon desde Miami el 19 de enero llegando a Cozumel el 23 del mismo mes. Todavía no concluía el crucero y muchos de los asistentes ya hacían circular varios videos de las presentaciones  de los teloneros The Antlers y The Knocks, mostrando que además no podían faltar el karaoke, varios concursos, mesas de bingo, y múltiples apariciones de Weezer [...]

Weezer covered Frank Black's 'Los Angeles' during their cruise from Miami to Cozumel.

Last weekend, Backstage Rider 's Mikala Taylor hit the high seas for five days of distortion. She returned safely and unscathed, though we can't speak for her ears. We're pretty sure she had a blast, nonetheless, but we'll let the photos do the talking. We’re not sure when, exactly, the full surrealism of being on a boat sailing from Miami to Mexico as part of The Weezer Cruise actually hit. Was it when Weezer played “Hash Pipe” shortly after the ship’s horns sounded and we left Vice City? Or was it [...]

Tralasciando - ovviamente - tutte le possibili associazioni con fatti di cronaca ben più drammatici e gravi, vogliamo raccontarvi dell'ennesima idea che hanno avuto Rivers Cuomo e i suoi Weezer . Da sempre, il legame della band con i fan va ben oltre l'interazione durante i live: così il gruppo ha deciso di invitare i suoi più fervidi ammiratori per una... crociera. La Weezer Cruise 2012 è partita da Miami il 19 gennaio e ha raggiunto l'isola di Cozumel a largo del Golfo del Messico il 23 di questo mese. Live e [...]

Aunque su periodo de actividad se extendió a tan solo diez años, en 2012 Talk Talk celebraría su treina aniversario. Su influencia en el mundo del synth pop es tan grande que varios artistas han decidido unir fuerzas para crear un disco tributo a esta banda inglesa. Se llamará Spirit Of Talk Talk y se publicará el próximo 28 de mayo a través del sello inglés Fierce Panda . Todavía no se ha dado a conocer un listado de canciones definitivo, aunque sí sabemos que, por ejemplo, [...]

Tweet Cursive gets all sorts of early nineties quasi-punk garage-pop on their new track " The Sun And The Moon ." It's nothing new for Cursive to change sounds from album to album, in the sixteen years they've been in our lives it's something we've come to expect with hopeful anticipation. They've done just about everything from folk to angsty and everything in between, and still " The Sun And The Moon " caught me off guard a little.Thirty seconds in and I'm [...]
