This Rivers is all dried up Weezer fans often cry that haters should quit comparing the band’s later work to Pinkerton and the blue album. That’s fair—bands change, and music evolves. Thing is, even without hope for a return to form, we’re still left sifting through dribble that barely passes as All-American Rejects’ rejects. Had the classics never existed, there’d be little reason to care about Weezer at all.... read more

“In the garage I feel safe No one cares about my ways In the garage Where I belong No one hears me sing this song In the garage” -Weezer: “In the Garage” For as long as dudes have been banging on six-strings, the garage has served as a safe haven of sorts, a place where, as Rivers Cuomo so melodically put it in the song above, said dudes could write “stupid words” and “stupid songs,” loving every one. And seemingly every few years since “garage rock” as a genre was coined way back in the middle ’60s, someone announces, breathlessly,... read more

Take a spin with us in the way-back machine, to ancient history: December of last year. Eleventh-hour negotiations between Warner Music Group and YouTube broke down, and Warner decided to pull (or mute) all their music on the video-sharing website. Now, this had more to do with YouTube's enormous popularity than any specific beef; musicians and record labels account for a huge percentage of pageviews on the 'Tube, and record labels don't see too much ad revenue in return.... read more

There once was a time, many long years ago, when the mention of Weezer would cause young, pop-hungry girls to wrinkle their noses in distaste and oft-bespectacled fans would grin wide and rejoice. That time was around, say, 1996. A lot has changed since.... read more

Unlike some music Paste staffers loved in their adolescence, Weezer has proven to possess some impressive staying power, at least in terms of news headlines. We recently told you all about the 8-bit tribute to the group and Clear Channel's Weezer-controlled radio station, but the Weezer busy-ness doesn't end there. While the group is busy wrapping up a new album, everyone's favorite geeky foursome is being included on compilations, covered and reissued.... read more

The combination of Rivers Cuomo and his merry band of geek-rockers with the noises of old-school video games may be the nerdiest fusion of ideas since, well, any other 8-bit tribute ever made. Diehard Nintendo fans seem to have remixed everything from Miles Davis to Chamillionaire, always putting their special spin on the tunes. There was even an 8-bit throwdown at this year's SXSW. This week, it's a selection of Weezer songs, NESified by an online netlabel called Pterodactyl Squad.... read more
