I can’t believe how self-degrading this band has become over the years. If I wasn’t completely convinced that Weezer is just surfing the huge geek trend and trying to cut some cash by releasing crap material year after year, last night shattered any doubt. It’s enough to see Rivers Cuomo dance around like a socially awkward middle aged man on Jay Leno’s Late Night stage to realize it’s ALL OVER. Some of you nostalgic, naive…
On their previous cover art for the dreadful “Raditude” Weezer went for a loldog icanhazcheezburger approach which was more or less quite funny for a second or two. Their latest album dubbed “Hurley” and due September 14 on Epitaph Records continues on the same internet meme territory with this preposterous literal rendition of the title. Yeah, that’s a photo of the ever jovial Jorge Garcia Hurley from Lost. Oh, and if you think, after four…
Hello, you handsome several. Has your week been so jam-packed with exciting chases and perilous thrills that you simply haven’t had a moment’s pause in which to consult the wireless ticker for the latest and greatest goings-on in the mile-a-minute maelstrom that is the music “biz”? Then hark: we have a very special guest on-board to provide you with all the info you need. Our guest commentator for this week’s “news” is this famous dead…
Hey ZME Universe, I’m sorry I’ve fallen a bit off the map in terms of my columns, but I’m excited about these end-of-decade lists. I’ve been preoccupied with my own list of best albums of songs. I love the lists that the ZME crew is putting together, but something tells me no one else on the staff would have the proper appreciation for the Portland, Maine power-pop trio The Leftovers. I can understand, though. While…

Weezerville is a peaceful little town, packed with really pleasant, although a bit loud, town’s folk. However, when a charming, beautiful woman enters the scenery things take a dramatic turn. That’s showing her, uh, guys?! This is how, in a nutshell, the latest Weezer video unfolds, soundtracked by the pure pop anthem (If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To. Oh, there’s a midget too, somewhere. You can never go wrong…
This is extremely funny as hell… in the first second, that is. After that it’s just ahhhhh, another lol cat, I mean lol dog or whatever. Considering the above captioned canine levitating through a living room will be the cover art for Weezer’s upcoming seventh album, titled “Raditude,” makes the down spiral slump the band’s been on for the last few album even more embarrassing. This album should better deliver something valuable and quick before…
Oh yeah, baby! We’ve got 14 of Weezer’s best hits listed right bellow, all available for download for free. You betcha there’s a catch. All of the songs, including Island in The Sun, Holiday or Buddy Holly, are in 8 bit format, which means all your favorite summer anthems now sound like they’re off the Space Invaders soundtrack. All of the 14 tracks have been mixed by an awesome crew of peeps going by the…
If you’ve been living in a cave for the last few weeks then the highly hyped Blink 182 reunion might come as a surprise. We really don’t have much time to explain what went on, so just follow the previous link if you want more details. What’s important though is that, what’s possibly, the most influential punk rock band of the last 15 years, Blink 182, will soon head out on a massssssive summer tour,…
At the beginning of the month, we announced that Rivers will be releasing a new follow-up to last year’s bootleg Alone, in the form of the upcoming November 25th release of lost, stuffed away Cuomo goodies, titled Alone II. You saw the funky yearbook haircut and had a first sample of Alone II, when we streamed I Want To Take You Home Tonight, now it’s time for a new song. Rivers Cuomo just posted a…
