Fans Report In - Something Corporate

[Jared Kaufman]

Something Corporate (http://www.somethingcorporate.com) played "Konstontine" tonight at the Clutch Cargos show in Pontiac, MI. During it, though, Andrew started singing Weezer (www.weezer.com)'s "Only In Dreams". He sang the chorus and it lasted about a minute while not too many people at the show even seemed to notice.

Damn, thats the closest thing to a Weezer performance in a while. I remember reading about Album #5 like two years ago in AP. I really dont even care about a new album, just release some B Sides, god knows there are about 500. And then just go on a nice big tour to promote it. Then I'll be happy.

[wheresweezer]

this is where i step in... WHERE THE FUCK IS WEEZER!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! ...and it's totally sad that 12 year old girls at the SoCo concert didn't notice that andrew was singing "only in dreams" ... my hat goes off for something corporate and their efforts, but a damn shame no one notticed

[SomethingBrian]

I wish I had been there. Grrrr.

[HoboAdam]

weezer was the first emo band ever












before i get ripped on by everybody and there mothers that was sarcastic, now let the bashing begin

[SuckerLD41]

they did that at the Chicago too... and again, there were lots of people who did not know that it was weezer.

[BlueSkiesDiner]

So...this means:

a) Something Corporate's current fanbase doesn't know enough of Konstantine to realize he was singing something different, even though it's been a favorite for years

and b) Something Corporate's current fanbase doesn't know Weezer well enough to recognize "Only In Dreams" in the middle of a different song.

This is sad.

You stole my user name! Well kind of, its the thought that counts.

weezer rules, but they weren't the first emo band. fourfa.com. go there.

[CorporateFish]

I had to miss the show because of the stupid snow storms..
Soco's fanbase is 3/4 young girls just there for the hell of it and 1/4 true fans..it figures nobody knew weezer..

[johnarc]

this is heartbreaking, because weezer is one of the greatest bands of all time, and the thought of kids not knowing who they are when they should, blah.

then again, there are people on here that didn't know about coheed until in keeping secrets was released on atlantic. what the fuck is wrong with you people?

[Jenn23]

He did that on the first night of tour at the HOB in Chicago, too. But he didn't just sing the chorus, he sang the whole first verse and the chorus. And later in the song, he inserted another "She's in your bones" and "Only in dreams" or two in there, as well. It was good.

And no, not a lot of people seemed to have a clue what he was singing. But is that really a surprise? The song is almost older than half the people in the crowd, or at least most of them were probably under the age of five when it was released. I feel old. I remember buying that CD for my friend for Christmas in 1994. Time flies.

[Basketcase]

Weezer are fucking rock gods!!!!! SoCo is cool. it's fucking sad that no one at the damn show even knew it was a Weezer song they were playing. goes to show how the majority of the fanbase are nothing but stupid little girls.

[blinkredstar]

he did it in omaha as well.

[Drew Beringer]

"Only In Dreams" is such an awesome song...

[yc_mest]

wow michigan soco fans are horrible

[DooDooBird]

i work with people who don't even know who Weezer is!!!!!!

that shit pisses me off. and these people are ages 18-23!!!! what the fuck!!!!

[jcmoney]

One thing I just realized is that whenever I mention the awesomeness of Konstantine, I always compare it to Only In Dreams. Just these long songs they just have an effect on me and I love it.

[FourStarters]

Wow, SoCo fans who don't know a 10 year old obscure Weezer song? I'm so shocked...

[thewk]

that's sad shit.

[rickisarealboy]

Konstantine is one of the most lyrically sound songs ever written. Who really cares if they sang weezer in thr break down... tbs sang justin timberlake in the breakdown of bike scene at one of the shows i saw... lets not get all bent out of shape.. its nice to see ppl mixing up the songs that they sing too much... blink did it... tbs did it.. soco is doing it.. live with it.

[yanggoh]

only in dreams is my favourite bassline of all time. of ALL TIME.

[oxfordqueef]

played it in milwaukee too. i was going nuts. my favorite soco song mixed with my favorite weezer song. how cool is that.

[sweetfootaction]

wow michigan soco fans are horrible

i'm from MI and i agree with you. i've been to a SoCo concert when they played at a college and there were nothing but retards there that thought it would be cool to go to a concert. they did a cover and nobody knew what it was. it was definitely sad

[superman4699]

i wouldn't exactly call it obscure.. that album went platinum multiple times. that said... weezer still owns.

my favorite band of all time. oh.. and for everyone else wondering about a 5th album.. i submitted news (that never got posted) about how weezer is releasing a new single off of the fifth upcoming album in late march/early april. album five is almsot done and will be out before the end of summer. (by the way.. all of this news is off of their official site... weezer.com)

[DenverHarbor22]

The Blue Album is one of Andrew's favorites.

[BlueSkiesDiner]

Maybe they were all listening to Rush.

You're acting as if people were pissed that he interrupted his own song with a cover...I haven't seen one person complain about that. Rather, people are more surprised at the fans for not knowing the song.

But then again, it has been pointed out that the song is older than some of the fans...

[XPrettyXWasteX]

that kinda reminds me of the last time I saw Midtown and in the middle of one of their songs they started playing the Pixies (Where Is My Mind) and only about 5 other people noticed..

[winnertakeall]

Who the hell is something corporate..............

No one bought that album based on "Only In Dreams". People bought the album for "Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Aint So". I've never even heard the song, so apparently I must be one of the kids who didn't buy the album.

It's still an obscure song outside of Weezer fans, which apparently, didn't populate the Something Corporate show...possibly because Weezer wasn't on the bill. Just a guess.

[reveriecowboy]

i wish i was there, soco covering weezer sounds amazing

but this sounds like when midtown sang a lyric of the pixies of "where is my mind?" at the my chemical romance k-rock show, but none of the kids knew what it was, it was sad...

also, when dashboard sang brand new, further seems forever, and say anything, same thing

Is anybody surprised that a bunch of screaming 12 year old girls wouldn't know a great Weezer song when they heard it?

Midtown did that a bunch of times during "Become What You Hate" when I saw with them. One at Knitting Factory, and the other at The Downtown. I love Midtown, and when they put in The Pixies, I nearly orgasmed.

[Bennet]

wow i would have loved to hear that......that is got to be one of the best songs ever written by weezer.....i stumbled upon this band the other day www.purevolume.com/thedupes

calm down there, i wasn't taking a stab at you... eesh

[00spool]

How do you know that "nobody seemed to notice"? What does it look like when someone notices that a cover song is being played. I've seen this posted on all of the So-Co fan sites so it must have been noticed.

This isn't exactly news.

First of all, that news was posted. I remember reading it here. Second, when he sings it (at least in Milwaukee he did this), he changes the melody of Only In Dreams to fit Konstantine, so if you don't recognize the words, it's hard to pick up. That being said, I don't even like SoCo and I thought that show was amazing.

[AdamIsARealBoy]

That was pretty sweet. All these little girls around me singing the lyrics to Konstantine like they knew them and then Andrew started up 'Only In Dreams' and me and my friend started singing that while everyone else was just so perplexed. I am a moderate Something Corporate fan and like alot of people i absolutely loved that show. And the weezer cover just topped it off for me.

[steve-0]

"heartbreaking"? good lord, could you be any more melodramatic.

I wouldnt know that it was a Weezer song because I think Weezer is incredibly overrated. if playing 4 power chords over a mid-tempo 4/4 beat makes them "one of the greatest bands of all time", then lots of bands should have that title.

dude i had to tell you what song that was. dont play me like that homie.

[BIGDeVriendt]

Yay, i never thought this would make it on! andrew singing only in dreams was one of the best things ive ever seen in a concert though hands down loved it. And why didnt I get credit for this!? i put my name???

[absolutecrunk]

oh my bad rich. yeah good call on the weezer. bonus scene points for pointing it out.

[BIGDeVriendt]

damn, im at -5 points...........and i sumbmitted somethign even. thats lame.

Have you ever heard of Pinkerton?

[rocksolidgurl]

Now I'm kind of upset that I didn't buy tix for this tour. Any chance anyone has audio? They probably would have said something already if they did...

[MidniteVulture]

I adore those first two Weezer albums, but holy shit if I have to hear "Only In Dreams" one more time I'm pulling a Van Gogh...

This isn't exactly news.Well no it's not at all, but what do you expect from this website.

[thebestkylever]

yeah at the house of blues in chicago he incorporated "you can't avoid her...she's in your bones..." lines and it was beautiful. i actually kinda like that fact that me and my friend were the only 2 within ear shot singin along. we felt so much cooler than everyone else.

[westsidas2000]

i don't think that means anything becuase weezer is more popular than so co and more people listen to them. plus, most people who listen to "current emo" listened to weezer at some point.

[steve-0]

Have you ever heard of Pinkerton?
unfortunately i have. and yes, i know that album is different from what i described up above.

[Jenn23]

Now I'm kind of upset that I didn't buy tix for this tour. Any chance anyone has audio? They probably would have said something already if they did...
I would have if the HOB allowed cameras. And I didn't make it to the Metro show (who couldn't care less what you take in) because of the damn snowstorm.

[Darren McLeod]

My buddy really loves that song Jamie by Dashboard Confessional.

I heard Weezer does a cover of it.

[bigal00004]

Also worth noting:
I hummed the tune of The Best Happiness Money Can Buy today.

Everyone should be a weezer fan if you like rock music. period.
