The Six Best "Bad" Guitar Solos

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
The guitar solo has become an integral part of the rock and roll formula, either as a melodic counterpoint to a vocal line or an excuse for showing off. But there's a different kind of solo out ... Continue reading "The Six Best "Bad" Guitar Solos" >

FRIDAY VIDEO TIME: The Highly Subjective Totally Debatable List Of The Best Songs That Start With The Letter "E"

FRIDAY VIDEO TIME: The Highly Subjective Totally Debatable List Of The Best Songs That Start With The Letter "E" It's time again our weekly series where we honor the top songs over the last 50 years that start with a specific letter of the alphabet. This week we move on to the letter "E". Our list this week includes an "easy" song, an "evil" song, and a song that's "en fuego". And if you're smugly guessing "Eleanor Rigby" is on this list, guess again. Don't agree with us on our selections? That's okay. Just leave your comments below, and don't forget we'll be doing the letter "F" next Friday. So if there's a song you [...]

Concert Review: Dance Yourself To Death, SHEEZER, Gentleman Reg [Feb 17, Drake Underground]

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
(Toronto) This was the third of four Wednesday night performances by Gentleman Reg at the Drake in February. Opening up the night was Dance Yourself To Death . My theory about the word 'dance' is that if you use it as a song title or in your bands name, then your music needs to make me want to dance. The same theory applies to the words 'clap', 'shake', and 'party' as in Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, The Cajun Dance Party, Harlem Shakes and You Say Party! We Say Die! All of these bands [...]

SF supergroup venerates the =w= @ BotH Thursday

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
Nostalgic albums - they cause the ear to tingle upon the first note of the first song and once soundtracked every moment of a period of your life. Call them crazy, but a group of local talent had the valiant idea of giving Weezer's Pinkerton a public genuflect at Bottom of the Hill tomorrow night with two more Bay Area acts: Wendy Darling and The Definite Articles (9pm, $10). If half-Japanese girls are your thing or maybe you're just tired of sex altogether, there's at least one song for you. The headliners will perform [...]

John Michael Cassetta Entry #12

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
Sunday, June 8, 2008 With John and Noah on birthday duty, it looks like it's up to me to keep the ramblings going this weekend. Well, consider it done. I had promised something special today, but it looks like that something special won't be coming until next week. Stay tuned. Instead, here's a story about my once favorite rock band. This past week, I went to Best Buy and bought the new Weezer CD for $5.99 plus tax. [...]

Greatest Song At This Moment - Weezer's "El Scorcho"

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
Dedicated to those songs that I can't stop playing, humming, or thinking about; the 4+ minutes you fall head-over-heels in love with. Past instances have included Beck's "Truckdrivin' Neighbors," The Clash's "Guns on the Roof" and David Bowie's "Starman." In 1996, I was in college and working what turned out to be an ideal college job at a used-music and video rental store. Come to think of it, the place did sell new music as well, but once you get a taste of someone else's trash [...]

Rivers Cuomo - ALONE: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo (Geffen)

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
Since Weezer has been on a mini hiatus since their 2005 release " Make Believe" (their next album is due in Spring of 2008), lead singer Rivers Cuomo decided to release a personal collection of his home recordings. "ALONE: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo" is described by Cuomo as "eighteen tracks, spanning my demo-making career from 1992 to 2007". It includes a few covers, the original demo for " Buddy Holly ", and previously unreleased tracks from an abandoned album called " Songs from the Black Hole". [...]
