"Hash Pipe" was actually from 2001… But it's a forgivable mistake because it's a later hit by a 90's band (and one could argue that song sounds more typically "mid-90's" than what Weezer were actually doing in the mid-90s).
The followup will be recorded in England and titled Mazh.
I've just started my yearly tradition of watching a horror movie a day in October. My selections this weekend were:
I feel like Ben Bridwell just picked his band's name by texting himself his own last name with auto-correct on. Or it was a derogatory nickname he picked up in second grade.
Well, a "sit-fart" would have sounded too much like when you bend to sit down and accidentally let one rip in the process.
As with "Work Bitch", this song's title lacks necessary punctuation. In the context of their respective lyrics, Britney and Aaron are clearly addressing you, the listener, as "bitch", and ordering you to work/dance. However, without a comma, "work" and "dance" can be read as adjectives describing the noun "bitch" -…
Would that make them fifteencentsback?
It was terrible artwork for an album, but pretty good artwork for an early 90's video game created to cash in on the popularity of Sonic The Hedgehog.
What's so bad about "hi sandal"?
Shampine for my real friends, real pine for my sham friends.
I love the bit in "The Stallion, Part 2" where Gene recites most of the alphabet, only to switch to spelling "stallion" once he gets to "S-T". The All Request Live version goes even further with that - ""A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-A-L-L-I am the stallion, mang!"
"Big Fat Fuck" is great because the music actually sounds like a big ol' obese guy waddling around.
I'm going to say "Mutilated Lips" if only because that was the song that made me stop dismissing them as a "joke band". My then-favorite rock station had started playing it, and the only other song I knew was of course "Push Th' Little Daisies". That and a performance on Viva Variety where they did "The Golden Eel"…
There actually was a band called Loudermilk, but sadly they were more emo-tinged hard rock than metal. I mainly remember them for being one of the openers when I saw Weezer in 2003, and for lame jokes we made about their relative loudness or quietness in relation to milk.
I'm now imagining that the main symptom of having a Vandella invade your dreams is inexplicably waking up with "Dancing In The Street" stuck in your head.
I've got a new wave compilation that includes "Shiny Shiny" (Living In Oblivion Volume 1) , which is the only place I've heard it. If I had to hear that song (let alone a whole album) on a regular basis, I'm sure I'd be annoyed, but because it's just the last track on some CD I occasionally dust off and play, I can…
My copy of that album has an outtake called "I Dig Go-Go Girls" as one of the bonus tracks, and that might be the weirdest song they ever did:
I have a cousin who started picking up bad language right around the same time he also figured out how to use the answering machine on his own. Long story short, one day my aunt and uncle left him in the care of a neighbor and took a ferry ride somewhere, and when they returned and checked their messages, one was a…
My college roommate was a huge Pogues fan, or at very least, they seemed to be his official "drinking music" band, so it seemed like every weekend he'd fire up his napster library and play every Pogues song he had (which I'm pretty sure was Rum Sodomy And The Lash in it's entirety and many other miscellaneous songs) .…
