Yesterday I downloaded the new Weezer album. Some of you may be wondering how I could do such a thing. Well, I really wanted to hear it and I knew it was there, so I did. It's not like I won't be in line to buy it the night it comes out. So far the album places third of their releases (and for reference I would pick the blue album as first if I was pressured, but I hold them both very high in my list of favorite albums). Spin's recent article about them in their June issue mentions how the new album is not nearly as personal as the past two, which is quite clear. There aren't any songs where you can feel poor River's heart breaking. Still, there are a couple tracks that are as good as anything they've put out. I plan to start doing album reviews on the site when I feel like it, so I think this will be my inaugural review. So plan to read an album review sometime soon. Or you could plan to avoid it and read a review from a reputable site. Ah self-pity, I love you.
That reminds me. If you go to The Onion's AV Club site and read the Chris Ware interview you will understand the true meaning of self-pity. That article made me really sad for that man. If he weren't so freakin good at creating comics I would ask him to stop and save himself. But he rocks, so I can't ask him to ever stop.
