#82 of 366: Records, Weezer

This could have been the title track for the entire blog. 🙂

Here’s another band I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t give a real chance until last year. Probably even sillier for me to pick a super recent song too. Don’t yuck my yum. I arrived, albeit late. They are legends. I’ve heard their stuff. But this one resonated! Might have to do with the 90,000 minutes of music I listened to last year!

“I’m pillow drumming on the sofa, I keep rocking past the coda, and evn if the world is ending, as I go out, you’ll hear me singing, I don’t feel no pain, when people make me mad, I don’t hear a word they say, just the sound of scratches”

Then we launch into the fantastically catchy part! Earworms gonna earworm.

“I hear records in my head everywhere that I go, I’ve got records in my head spinning out of control, they go ’round and around, and again, ’round and around, and again, ’round and around and, oh yeah, records in my head”

This song just kicks. The whole time. Start to finish. Top to bottom. Inside and out. The driving percussion and electric guitar take center stage, but that bass…

Cool coincidence that they shout out “she who was posted just before them”, Lana Del Rey, in the song. We’ll hear from Rihanna, (also shouted out) fairly soon as I glance at the playlist. We might have some Nirvana. I honestly don’t remember about that one.

I hope you rock today as much as Weezer rocks to this day. What a shelf-life that band has had. Keep kicking ass Rivers and Co.

Be good, do good. Always.
