A Very 90’s Christmas

Since December 24 is here in a week, wow where did the time go? I decided to do an extended song of the week, or should I say songs of the week.

Christmas With Weezer

Not that long ago Weezer did a neat little project.

Weekly Wrap Up: AC/DC, Jane’s Addiction, Scott Weiland, Rivers Cuomo

I’m feeling a little hungover from a Guns N’ Roses binge this week, so let’s have a quick look at what else is going on in the music world.

Weezer Break Records With ‘Troublemaker’

Weezer’s second video from their most recent self-titled release, aka The Red Album, has broken five Guinness world records.

The video, which was shot on August 21, broke the records for the largest air guitar ensemble (233 members), largest game of dodgeball (two teams of 50 each), most people in a custard pie fight (120), most people riding on a skateboard (22) and the longest Guitar Hero World Tour marathon (10 hours, 12 minutes).

Weezer - Pinkerton

I’ve been revisiting this gem of an album lately and I seriously forgot how great it was.

FYI: Weezer

It’s a perfect time to do an FYI on Weezer, since they just released their sixth studio album this past Tuesday (June 3).

• The band was formed by Rivers Cuomo (vocals, guitar), Matt Sharp (bass), Patrick Wilson (drums) and Jason Cropper (guitars) in 1992, supposedly on Valentine’s Day.

New Music Tuesday: Weezer, Radiohead, Gavin Rossdale

It’s Tuesday, which means brand new music. This week will be an interesting one for 90’s alt. rock fans with releases from Weezer, Radiohead and Gavin Rossdale.

Weezer Songs Leaked, New Release Date For ‘Red’

The tracks include: “Troublemaker”, “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived”, “Pork & Beans”, “Heart Songs”, “Everybody Get Dangerous”, “Dreamin’”, “Thought I Knew” and “Cold Dark World”.
