Weezer, “Jamie” (acoustic version, from Dusty Gems and Raw Nuggets)
“You are the most, you’re so rad, you’re so fresh
And I’m so glad
I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign”
Songs Named After Girls Week: J. Part I.
(Note: my vote for Best Song About a Girl, ever.)
Weezer, “My Evaline”
“Sweeter than the honey
To the honey bee
I love you
Say you love me”
Songs Named After Girls Week: E. Part IV.
Weezer, “Susanne”
“I haven’t much I can give you in return/Only my heart and a promise not to turn”
Songs Named After Girls Week. Part I.
Rivers Cuomo, “Longtime Sunshine” (from Alone: The Home Recordings)
“sometimes I wanna get in a car, close my eyes and drive real fast/
keep on going ‘til I get some place where I can truly rest”
Weezer, “Falling for You” (from Pinkerton)
“I’ve got a number of irrational fears, that I’d like to share with you”
Remember when Weezer was fun? When they played loud, fuzzy, confused anthems; songs concerned with sexual confusion, awkwardness, and torment. They were great. They were the best. (This is still the greatest album of all-time.)
I want that Weezer back. (Instead of the Weezer whose songs are only made to played accompanied by a Jumbotron.)
Breaking Point: Maladroit (specifically the Keep Fishin’ video. However, it should be noted that they were putting all those songs up on the internet, for free; years before Radiohead received praise for the same thing.)
We Used to Be Friends Week. Part I.
