She looks very tired. And also, she looks ridiculously dressed. Just an opinion... I think she's great and love her music.

Let's not fool ourselves though. Radiohead make good music, but they do sell a brand. They have an underground/anti-system persona that they sell to people that are (or want to be seen as) undergroung/anti. And as much as we might not want to accept it, they capitolize on this brand. As much as they gave 'In Rainbows' away for free it was really just a branding and an advertising of that brand in order to make money in the long run. I'm not saying Radiohead are crap, or even that FF are any good, but I agree with some of his point here, and think it's important to understand.

A few observations:
1) This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't Weezer. It's really not horrible music, it's just disapointing. I've been a hater ever since Matt left, but now I think I'm warming into a nice mushy "meh".
2) The camera man doesn't understand that Pat Wilson is a part of the band.
3) My wife walked in during "Can't Stop Partying" and said "I don't get it, they look like nerds." and it brought back so many memories of the old Weezer.

Whole lot of rascist.

Hey! Thanks for the heads up. I love Matt Sharp and all, but I almost feel like he is just as much tinsel and vague space as Rivers is. His solo work and his work with the Rentals is just about equally worth while to check out as Weezers output. the only difference is, with The Rentals you don't get the exploded ego effect which makes mediocrity sound like garbage.

I'm glad this comments section isn't just full of people talking about "Take on Me". I had the privelege to live in eastern Europe for a few years not too long ago, and I was really surprised at how big they were over there. It's funny how something so huge in Europe can still be completely invisible in the US.
I will also take this as a chance to repeat yet again that "Manhattan Skyline" is one of the awesomest songs of all time. Of All Time! And the music video for it is, in my opinion, even better than the iconic video for "Take On Me".

I don't know. The story does clearly state that michael "co-wrote" the song. And you know, the TMZ link even says that Anka "gave the song to another artist to record in 1990", and I bet you he didn't share the profits with Michael for that one.
This really just seem like a lot of media sensationalism blowing things out of proportion. We need some new tabloid headlines I guess.

Hey! Where's Sufjan? Maybe this is where "You are the Blood" was supposed to end up. Since, you know. It would make more sense in a vampire movie soundtrack about people that eat each other's blood, than it does on a benefit album about a terminal blood disease.
Also. Sufjan is awesome!

Holy Cow. It's about time people started taking notice of this album. I think it stands a chance at being an major underground hit. There is so much to like about this album. It has high energy, great hooks, excelent musician ship and it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's just a really really fun album.

Is it creepier when old guys have the hots for 15 year old girls, or when 15 year old girls have the hots for old guys? I thought I knew, but now I'm not sure. How about each of us just makes a pact to not go there.

Charlie needs to stop wasteing our time and go make Hot Shots 3. Maybe he knows that's the only reason we keep him alive.

So, guys riding in a spaceship that flies into a woman's vagina is a metaphor for guys riding in a car that flies into a woman's vagina, right?

I was too lazy to stock up before hand, so I just waited till January 1st and then rushed through Costco grabbing piles of worthless bulk goods along with the riotous crowds of frantic people. Boy did I feel silly when I had to pay for them.

I hope they title this remake "The Fresh Retard", because that would be phenomenal. Also, admit it, it makes more sense than "The Fresh Prince" did.

there are two sides to music, the branding and the the actual music... sure radiohead is a brand but they make fucking awesome music... whether you like it or not, you can't argue that it's not good. On the other hand fiery furnaces make ok music that to me seems like it is trying to hard to be unlistenable. People don;t give enough credit to bands that can make listenable songs, and if they can make listenable songs and still sound "underground" (whatever that i anymore) then they are even more brilliant.
