Early last week, Hillary Clinton showed that her hormones are not suitable for the presidency. As such, her desperation cry provided incentive to all 45+ year old women to go out and vote because they know how menopause goes; thus winning her New Hampshire. It's not really a big deal, because once Edwards puts his tail between his legs and admits he's done, all of his prior votes will go to my favorite: Barry Obama.
This weekend I studied Rivers Cuomo. I purchased Alone: The Home Recordings and read his Harvard essay, "A Mad and Furious Master." Both works essentially made my weekend, providing it with a little different motif rather than listening to joke rap songs, like I normally do. Because of how much those two works rocked, I started thinking about why Weezer sucks so much ever since they got back together. Other than maybe 3 good tracks on their album Maladroit, their work has been, well, maladroit. I made a short list as to why:
1. Rivers Cuomo is no longer celibate.
2. Someone in Weezer loves writing songs about marijuana. ("Hashpipe", "Dopenose", "We Are All On Drugs")
3. Rivers Cuomo probably doesn't care anymore.
4. Aside from Cuomo, all other members can only think about Playboy.
5. Their music videos suck.
6. "Island in the Sun"
7. Rivers Cuomo would feel bad/alone if he left Weezer and started a better solo career.
You honestly don't think Rivers Cuomo wants to be in Beverly Hills, do you?
Oh yeah, did I mention I hate Hillary Clinton?

i feel the exact same way about all the rivers cuomo stuff. i'm so glad he did the alone thing, and you're right, it does leave you thinking that he isn't the problem with weezer, it's someone else. it never really occured to me until i read newsweek that Barack would go by Barry. You made that call, dude, right on. I'm glad he's your man too. if one more kid tries to tell me he doesn't have the "experience" because that's the argument the media told him to use, i might just hit him in the face for being such a close-minded jackass.
-no need for apologies
-i don't hate that you like animal collective, haha, plenty of respectable people do. and i must admit yes, fireworks is for the most part a wonderful song. but like 3/4s of the way through it seems to me like they forget where the song was going and it sings into musical mire until it's resurrected for the finale...
