A video of people in the 60s doing the Twist to this would be perfect.

Listening to the latest of their seasonal ep's (Winter), and, yup, it's Weezer doing Weezer songs. They are the epitome of an okay band.

I listened to all four of the eps. There's a solid album in there. He did get a bit more interesting on the last two eps, throwing in time signature and key changes. I really do enjoy that over their self aware, self referential attempts at modernity. Also, it feels more like a Rivers solo project. I couldn't even make out if Brian was doing the harmony vocals. So it lacked a little of that Weezer touch of the rest of the band. Or that was all in my head.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That's...a lot of albums.

Just the one with the original lineup. Beyond that it gets messy. Even Heston's favorite Never Say Die isn't very good.

I'm bothered that either one of us is covertly writing for it or we're being spied upon.
