Dude that is soooo 20 years ago.
R.E.M. recorded a version of that song while recording Lifes Rich Pagent

What I forgot to mention in my first post regarding Weezer is this:  I know I've been dissing on them a lot lately due to the crap that is Beverly Hills and Make Believe, but I realized something about that song.  There is teh middle section where Rivers does teh whole "talking thing" and it is just like an old do-wop song.  Thats what they would do - stop in the middle and someone would talk and say something like "Even though you're gone baby/you're still here/in my heart/in my dreams/every night as I go to sleep."

We need more of that.

I have my radio set to the oldies channel, so in case my CD ends and switches to the radio, I won't be bombarded with utter shit.  Kind of the same thing, only backwards.

zekterellium:
you guys know pierre schauffer? he was a fifties musician that did something called musique concrete. music concrete was like, the electronic music of it's day, except instead of, say, using instruments, they smashed pianos and hit steel pipes together and made children say scary, scary things in no kind of bar at all. the reason i bring it up, it was obviously like the precursor to electric music like aphex twin and autechre. i guess, maybe all electronic music has it's roots here, so... postal service? is that link too tedious? god i hope not.

Even though that makes me giggle in a very happy way, I think the word you meant to use was "tenuous"!
