Weezer accept a twitter request and cover Toto's Africa
lol gotta love when Weezer drops a surprise out of nowhere.
"It all started when a 14-year-old Cleveland resident named Mary created a Twitter profile dedicated solely to getting Rivers Cuomo and co. to cover the 1982 megahit. Hundreds of tweets containing a #WeezerCoverAfrica hashtag were sent by the appropriately titled @weezerafrica account, and the campaign received plenty of press from music media outlets like Noisey." Billy Corgan, TAKE NOTES this is awesome |

Cuomo rocking a Skakespeare sticker haha

Don't know if you guys ever saw this, it's some years old now, but since y'all talk about RH so much, you might get a kick out of this. This rocks
|
ok
|
Actually a good cover.
|
I like Weezer and all, but jesus fuck fuzzy, do you ever get tired of posting about the same four fucking tired 90s acts? Get yourself a damn Spotify account and branch the fuck out already.

I'm off my meds and I feel nuts. I saw this story on the news and started crying thinking about how excited that girl must have been when they played it

I would use spotify (and pay for it) if my provider offered unlimited access.
|
Also I still think it's kind of awkward how people use spotify or pandora to recommend music for them. music is supposed to be an active experience. don't turn it into a passive experience like radio 2.0.
does anybody else go to a restaurant and go "uh gee i dunno just give me what you think is good"? the world is at your fucking fingertips. |

I don't listen to playlists personalized or not on spotify though, so maybe I agree with you. I have been trying to check out artists I have meant to check out for a long time, or to dig deeper into discographies I'm not super familiar with. OR if I just hear about some artist and want to check them out, spotify makes it MUCH easier than having to search for and torrent an album to see if you like it |
I think I'm weird though because I don't like listening to samey music. I might like Sun Kil Moon but if I entered that and let spotify generate a playlist I would probably hate everything it suggested. Just because I like one artist honing in on a particular sound doesn't mean I am interested in hearing other artists do a similar thing.

earlier i played my michael jackson playlist, i left spotify open and came back 3 hours later and it was playing nsync. true story.

"these are the only 2 bands I know like that dood" and I don't listen to music as background or car radio, I listen to NPR, music is for bedroom pogo |
I don't really use streaming services anymore, would rather just steal music than pay a middle man
|
I still do not really get even paying for spotify. If you listen to music at home, just use your computer and it has basically all the same features for free?

ad block plus stops half the advertisements anyway

I mean, shit, I don't even use Spotify, but I think someone like fuzzy could really benefit from it. |

I personally don't wanna be a part of solidifying Spotify as a solution for labels. I'd encourage other people not to use it. Plus, I just like actually having the music, burning CD's, uploading it to a portable device. When listening to an album, it's important to let it simmer and saute with a person. Music has become such a fleeting thing with people and these streaming services. They don't give the music enough of a chance anymore. |

It's better to outright boycott major label exploitation than to be a part of normalizing and validating their new monopolies of control.
Plus, I see a lot of shows and buy a lot of merch and vinyl. That's how I show support for artists, by bypassing any of the shenanigans. I don't want no big-brother bullshit selling my music listening habits to corporations while also having their obtrusive advertising shoved down my throat. That's just whack. |

You can literally type in local bands and they come up on Soulseek. It's great. |
