Things ain’t like they used to be

I love this band, I love this song.

Weezer – Mo Beats

Friday, July 31st, 2009

An unreleased Weezer song, circa 2002, that I love – possibly one of my favorites. Check the guitar solo.

I hope to hear it completed and on an album some day.

Brrruuuuuuuuuuuce!

If you ever get the opportunity to sit in a corporate box seat at a major concert (for instance, Bruce Springsteen), a club suite wherein you have free drinks and snacks and a dude that opens bottles and doors and calls you ‘sir’.

Or where you can get up from your 4th row seat and walk into a siting area, or the private restroom or the bar…where you can see the performers without squinting, or without being jostled by 12,000 people behind you…or even where you sit in a nice, soft, cushioned chair. Well…you should.

It’s nice.

The *only* downside is that the ushers are closer – so we got our picture taking shut down pretty quickly. Oh well, it’s the price you pay I suppose. I didn’t want to risk getting the D60 taken away/lost/whatever, so these are from a crappy cam.

A highlight on this tour, the band is doing ‘Stump the Band’ – audience members make signs with requests for non-Bruce songs and the band picks one and covers it.

The choice this Sunday night was the ‘? and the Mysterians’ ’96 Tears’ – an oldie but a goodie, to which Bruce chided the crowd, “You dont think the E-Street Band knows 96 fucking Tears???”.

Oh, hey, god bless Youtube:

Common People – Star Trek style

Monday, December 8th, 2008

On William Shatners recent album, Has Been, he did a cover of Pulps “Common People” with Ben Folds – I love this version and in particular Folds vocals. Anyway, here’s a mashup someone did of the song with the old Star Trek cartoon. It’s quite brilliant. Enjoy.
