REUBEN'S ACCOMPLICE

jamming this one too

Guess I need to actually check out Weezer's discog now. I've really only ever spent time with their "hits"


Oh and I'm super late on this, but seriously, go listen to The Front Bottoms now

I was first introduced to Weezer back when my parents bought a Packard-Bell PC with Windows 95 on it. The video for 'Buddy Holly' (arguably one of the best music videos ever made) was preloaded on the machine. Ever since then Weezer has been a favorite.

That said, I haven't really liked any of their albums post Maladroit (an underrated album which hopefully anytime now will gain a cult following, similar to the way Pinkerton did years after it was released). There are a few jams here and there on Make Believe and the rest that I dig... particularly the video edit of the song 'Perfect Situation.'

Can never get over how underrated Make Believe it, haha.

People seem to really hate that album, but, off the top of my head, Perfect Situation and Hold Me are really good Weezer songs. I don't think any of the other songs on there are super terrible for what they are. They don't really compare to any of the first couple of albums, but I've made my peace with it.

And my recommendation is watching women's handball in the Olympics and rooting for Norway.

Haha, I totally had that Windows Backup CD-ROM with that video and the game Hover. Great stuff.

If anyone hasn't heard the entirety of Weezer's first album, please get on that shit. It's perfection.

Skinny Puppy (RIYL: Bands that have ripped off Skinny Puppy like Nine Inch Nails)

Pinkerton is such a great album.

Joshua Radin - Underwater
Passion Pit - Gossamer
Fang Island - S/T

Make Believe has some terrible lyrics.

Anchor & Braille - The Quiet Life
Cat Power - Sun
Desaparecidos - "MariKKKopa" / "Backsell"
The Fresh & Onlys - Long Slow Dance
Ice Choir - Afar
Jens Lekman - I Know What Love Isn't
Mount Eerie - Ocean Roar
Paper Route - The Peace of Wild Things
Yeasayer - Fragrant World

Leaks this week were amazing.

Raditude and Make Believe and underrated horribley. While The Blue Album and Pinkerton are their best albums these two are in the second tier of great albums. I never cared for The Red Album or Hurley too much though
