when you're on a holiday...

Why would I reference an overplayed Green Album song? The new Weezer album, due out in May, is going to be called Make Believe. Good name for a Monkees record or a PBS kids show, but a Weezer album? The prospect of another piece of shit Green Album or subpar Maladroit are seriously frightening. I've been holding out since Pinkerton in the hopes that Rivers would eventually come to his senses and quit pandering to teenagers who want to hear more "Hashpipe," but this has me worried. My only ray of sunshine in this ordeal is Rick Rubin, and a lovely, bearded and bear-like ray of sunshine he is. Let's check the record: Cash's American Recordings, De-loused In The Comatorium, "99 Problems," Raising Hell, Reign In Blood, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back, Toxicity...the man is incapable of producing a bad record (let's forget about the Andrew Dice Clay, alright?) So, we'll see...only two months to wait.

Meta-blog music experiment: if you play "The Closet" by Teenage Jesus & the Jerks at 45 rpm, it sounds exactly like a Locust song. Then sync it up to Snow White and blow your mind! Or play it backwards to hear Lydia Lunch predict the outcome of the 2004 election! Really, only the first one is true.

Shit. I can't post about Weezer without rockin' the =w=.
