Imagine Snoop, Dre & them doing that ish with their fans...  :o
We'd get the 213-reunion, NWA-reunion & maybe a Snoop+Dre-album...  :'(

Weezer is cool, Im listenin to their new album right now, not as amazing as their early stuff but its good, not bad. Maybe it'll get better after a few listens, this is just my first impression

It IS very pop, but there's a certain joke with Weezer music.  Buddy Holly is a good example.  The song is very very pop, but it's supposed to be, it's like a comment on how pop music can be good, but nobody makes it good.  It's a comment on how people say "oh it's pop" like you just did, for an excuse of why the song sucks.  In the video, they tipped their hand, they showed them dressing up on the Happy Days set, and showed everybody that it was a joke, and they were kind of making fun of pop music, but at the same time, perfecting it.

The new song is very similar, except Rivers has grown bigger balls by now.  The video is much less straight forward, it's hard to tell it's a joke, basically.  Sit back and think about the lyrics, the way Rivers looks when he sings the song, and the audacity of the video being shot at the Playboy mansion.  The bridge (where Rivers is just talking) is genius.

The truth is, I dont stand a chance.  its something that you're born into and I just dont belong





I love Make Believe, how about that We Are all On Drugs songto be an example like Beverly Hills and Buddy Holly

That's so brilliant, because he's saying it, like he means it, and he's sad about it.

In truth, the joke is he's making fun of people who GIVE A SHIT.  Rivers Cuomo would never give a FUCK about whether or not he's from Beverly Hills.  The song is like a comment on a comment.  It's hard to explain, I'm sure yall get it as well as I do, that's the best thing about them, it's unstated, and hard to put your finger on exactly where they're fucking around.  It's 10 times better than sarcasm, because they're saying something with sarcastic intentions, but no sarcasm.
