Weezer

Woo-ee-oo hip hip...

Weezer is one of the strangest rock stories of our time: Rivers Cuomo and his L.A. geek-punk band hit the MTV grunge jackpot in 1994, fizzled out after the flop 1996 concept album Pinkerton, and then began a second career as a shockingly successful cult phenomenon.

well, to answer your second question, i'd have to take a guess that "stro"/http://virb.com/stro
is running this... seeing as he created it??


to answer your first question, its easier to read that its the weezer group if the writing in the picture is made bigger.

Oh...my. I'm listening to Pinkerton for the first time in about six or seven years, and it is so much better than I remember. I always loved the album, don't get me wrong -- but I saw it as purely idiosyncratically charming, in the way that Cumo/Sharp so often are. Bullshit. The lyrics are terrific -- really quite perfect at times -- and manage to make Rivers' unique experiences completely recognizable. I'm a real dick for ever thinking this album was anything less than fantastic.

Pinkerton!

definitely Say it Ain't So. That song still gives me chills everytime I hear it. A few years ago I got to sing it live with a band I used to hang out with and it was the most amazing night ever!

My fave'd be My Name is Jonas because I still distinctly remember that the first 5 seconds of that song made me buy the blue album. I was at a record store in London and had heard Buddy Holly on MTV (you know, back when they actually played music). I wasn't quite sure, so I asked if I could listen to it. They put it on the 'store stereo' (small, small shop) and when I heard the opening riffs of Jonas I knew I wanted to buy it.

Say it Ain't So is my all time favorite because it is the song that inspired me to play guitar. I had been learning to play for a few months when I first heard the song, it sparked my interest beyond the other stuff I was learning and I began practicing 3-4 hours a day. Almost 13 years later I still love jammin' to that song.

My other favorites would be "Listen Up" from the BBC Sessions or "Across The Sea"

I pretty much want to love the person who invited me to this group.

I did a dance when I got the invitation.

According to my iTunes "Photograph" is my favorite Weezer song, but I just about die for "Only In Dreams"

"Suzanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child
Make me blush
Drive me wild
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted"

I LURVE that song.
