My friend Meredith from Boston was kinda enough to walk me through the new Weezer record over AIM. If you’d like to follow along you can pick up a copy here.
[15:57] MeredithFromBoston: 1st song, pretty good. i dig it.
[15:57] MeredithFromBoston: 2nd song, don’t like intro, it’s annoying. just heard a bad lyric.
[15:57] MeredithFromBoston: something about underwear.
[15:57] MeredithFromBoston: this may be a rap song. oh good god
[15:58] MeredithFromBoston: ok, falsetto, not liking this song.
[15:58] MeredithFromBoston: i may have to forward this one.
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: ok, super falsetto at the end, like the super falsetto
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: but i don’t agree with any song that has “underwear” in the lyrics.
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: unless it’s by Ratt
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: or something like Ratt.
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: ok, song 3 is the single.
[15:59] MeredithFromBoston: he name checks Timbaland who i love so i think it’s funny
[16:00] LA Snark: you love Timbaland?
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: yup. love that overproduced shit.
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: giant overproduced hook filled pop crap
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: love it
[16:00] LA Snark: i like the overproduced songs on Britney’s latest album. like Radar
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: love that fucking record
[16:00] LA Snark: yeah
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: break the ice
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: sweet.
[16:00] LA Snark: haha
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: ok i have moved onto the next song
[16:00] MeredithFromBoston: a mellow jam, seems
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh no
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh no
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: he just name checked “eddie rabbit”
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh no.
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh no
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: he said “hungry heart”
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh fuck.
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh wait, it’s a song about his “heart songs”
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: his favorite songs.
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: GAY
[16:01] MeredithFromBoston: oh for fuck’s sake this dude might need to hang it up
[16:02] LA Snark: hahahaha
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: he just said “he taught me how to shred”.
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: can’t do it, must forward.
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: “michael jackson’s, man in the mirror”
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: oh god no
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: no no nononononnononnoooooooooooooooo
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: no
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: oh god this is fucking AWFUL
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: awful awful awful awful
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: chorus: “these are my heart songs, they never feel wrong”.
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: i want my money back.
[16:02] MeredithFromBoston: FUCK YOU WEEZER
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: FUCK YOU
[16:03] LA Snark: this is the best review ever
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: OH GOD OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: OH MY GOD IT JUST GOT WAY WAY WAY WAY WORSE
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: HOLY FUCKING SHIT DOWNLOAD THIS SONG STAT.
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: no. no don’t pay.
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: steal it.
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: steal this fucking song.
[16:03] MeredithFromBoston: HE IS TALKING ABOUT “NEVERMIND”
[16:03] LA Snark: oh man
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: “I WAS BORED BACK IN 92, UNTIL A FRIEND SHOWED ME A RECORD WITH A NAKED BABY ON THE FRONT”
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: AM I BEING PUNKED?
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: this is a joke.
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: it just has to be.
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: oh no.
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: ok, next song.
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: “everybody get dangerous”
[16:04] MeredithFromBoston: starts with a bad sound effect of a window breaking.
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: oh no.
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: oh no
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: oh fuck no
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: he just used that bad sound effect like it’s thru a loudspeaker.
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: the worst.
[16:05] MeredithFromBoston: ok just download the single, fuck the rest of this.
[16:06] MeredithFromBoston: i might have to forward this one.
[16:06] MeredithFromBoston: holy fucking fucking fuck
[16:06] MeredithFromBoston: the backround lyrics
[16:06] MeredithFromBoston: “BOOYA”
[16:06] MeredithFromBoston: i am not joking
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: “let’s get dangerous”…”booya” “booya”
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: OH FUCK
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: well, he knows he’s lost it.
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: that’s the theme of “pork and beans”, the single
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: like, “it’s over for me, i suck”.
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: so, he should have just put that song out with a statement.
[16:07] MeredithFromBoston: which of course had to happen at some point, it always does.
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: OH GOD THE BOOYA IS KILLING ME
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: BOOYA?
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: FUCKING BOOYA?
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: FOR REAL BOOYA.
[16:08] LA Snark: that is pretty rough
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: pretty rough?
[16:08] LA Snark: he’s like an actual nerd
[16:08] LA Snark: not even an ironic nerd
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: hahahahahahaha
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: haha.
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: yes, he is “an actual nerd.”
[16:08] MeredithFromBoston: ahahaha that is the most perfect thing ever said my friend…..booya.
[16:09] MeredithFromBoston: ok moving on to “dreamin’”
[16:09] MeredithFromBoston: dreamin’.
[16:09] MeredithFromBoston: not dreaming.
[16:09] MeredithFromBoston: dreamin’.
[16:09] MeredithFromBoston: oof.
[16:14] MeredithFromBoston: ok, next song
[16:14] MeredithFromBoston: it’s a brian bell song
[16:14] MeredithFromBoston: and it is better than the rest.
[16:15] MeredithFromBoston: and it’s not good.
[16:16] MeredithFromBoston: ok that song is the best one on there so far besides “pork and beans”.
[16:16] MeredithFromBoston: and i already told you i only like that one because of the timbaland reference
[16:17] MeredithFromBoston: i still have a few more, plus a bonus track i would like to give back.
[16:17] MeredithFromBoston: this new song, called “cold dark world” features rapping.
[16:17] MeredithFromBoston: and the lyrics “sex you”
[16:17] MeredithFromBoston: oi vey.
[16:18] MeredithFromBoston: these are the lyrics that you write and decide they are so bad you will never show them to anyone, ever.
[16:19] MeredithFromBoston: “to sex you”.
[16:19] MeredithFromBoston: i had high hopes, just 14 minutes ago!
[16:19] MeredithFromBoston: sigh
[16:19] MeredithFromBoston: ok that song is thankfully over.
[16:19] MeredithFromBoston: up next, “automatic”
[16:20] MeredithFromBoston: it sounds like maybe another brian bell song maybe
[16:21] MeredithFromBoston: ok, this song is good.
[16:21] MeredithFromBoston: let’s see who wrote it.
[16:21] MeredithFromBoston: something tells me it’s not rivers.
[16:22] MeredithFromBoston: yup
[16:22] MeredithFromBoston: i was right.
[16:22] MeredithFromBoston: it’s a wilson song. i guess they each have a song of their own on this record.
[16:22] MeredithFromBoston: shriner wrote “cold dark world”, not sure if i already reviewed that one, i could have…might have…blocked it out.
[16:23] MeredithFromBoston: alrighty, “the angel and the one” is up now.
[16:23] MeredithFromBoston: oh, that one was the “sex you” song. hahaha.
[16:24] MeredithFromBoston: well, this song is dark and moody.
[16:24] MeredithFromBoston: hmm. ok, ok.
[16:24] MeredithFromBoston: i’m sure he’s about to insert the suck soon.
[16:24] MeredithFromBoston: hmm.
[16:25] MeredithFromBoston: well, normally i would say this song if really fucking boring, but right now i am just glad it’s not like the “baby on the cover booya”
[16:26] MeredithFromBoston: i just read a review of the record, and the review closed with this:
[16:26] MeredithFromBoston: ” Some of their experimentation certainly paid off, but some of it should have stayed in the studio.”
[16:26] MeredithFromBoston: i don’t know why, but he seems to be talking about angels a whole hell of a lot.
[16:26] MeredithFromBoston: this song blows.
[16:26] MeredithFromBoston: i can’t wait for the bonus track up next.
[16:27] MeredithFromBoston: this is depressing.
[16:27] MeredithFromBoston: this song is over 6 minutes long.
[16:27] MeredithFromBoston: must get out of this song.
[16:27] MeredithFromBoston: ok, bonus time.
[16:27] MeredithFromBoston: seems like a demo…
[16:28] MeredithFromBoston: actually it sounds like a green day acoustic rock song.
[16:28] MeredithFromBoston: i want my money back.
[16:29] MeredithFromBoston: this song is making me fucking angry.
[16:29] MeredithFromBoston: “it’s easy to be mean” i think was just the lyric.
[16:29] MeredithFromBoston: henry (Meredith’s dog) just farted.
[16:29] MeredithFromBoston: henry, i agree my pup. i agree.
[16:29] MeredithFromBoston: in closing, this record is like a fart.
[16:30] MeredithFromBoston: a pork and beans fart.
[16:30] MeredithFromBoston: booya.
