Why should I be ashamed to admit that I like this catchy little pop-rock tune? I know this confession will be met with derision by the Str8-types of the Lawtalkers Fashion Tips Chatting Board for Lawyers, who cannot be bothered to even read the review of a song unless it is some white label mash up of an obscure electronica-Bhangra fusion and an alienating underground hip hop cut (the Danger Mouse re-mix). But some of us just like music that makes us feel good when we listen to it, regardless of how "hipster" or "cool" it may make us look when it flashes across our iPod display.

2. I love every Weezer record except the new one. With the exception of "We Are All on Drugs," its got none of the wit of their previous records. Cuomo should get off the meditation and back to the coke. The Blue Album is a classic, and the extended version with the extra tracks is worth every penny. Weezer has an impressive list of killer tunes: El Scorcho, Hash Pipe, Surf Wax America, Getchoo, Dope Nose, My Name is Jonas, Slob... Shit, how can you not dig Weezer? Part of what makes them good is they sound really conventional, but they do it so damn well. I can even stand Bev Hills, until that gay part where he gives the sarcastic speech about being an outsider. He's joking, but its not that funny.
