I love Strawberries, in fact i'm going to put it on now.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I like the Anything album but it was rushed and not really given enough time to grow. Still as you mention the good is very good.Wolter wrote: ↑25 Oct 2017, 3:38pmI like Music For Pleasure.

Toots & the Maytals, 'The Best Of' (2001).
Kingston 11, JA's answer to Otis Redding. A quick, easy listen this comp is, but the remastering for this series was excellent (especially for 2001), and, really, these are some of the greatest songs ever created by anyone, ever.

I've listened to the new Weezer a few times and it hasn't really grabbed me, with the exception of "Weekend Woman."

It's been slated as a complete turning-of-the-back on rock and entering the pop sphere entirely. Are you getting that?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 2:33pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It's less obviously rock than previous Weezer, I guess, but I'd hesitate to call it pop. Or, rather, I don't know what the parameters for pop are in this case. But it's mostly whatever.Kory wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 5:45pmIt's been slated as a complete turning-of-the-back on rock and entering the pop sphere entirely.

I read an article saying that they'd finally done away with power chords or something like that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 5:52pmIt's less obviously rock than previous Weezer, I guess, but I'd hesitate to call it pop.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

The Replacements, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, Illinois, 1989. 'With Special Guest Mr. Liquor'.
Excellent audience tape; even better performance. No knock on Bob, but Slim helped made this band (when they were on) a perfect Stonesy pop-tastic band that should have made millions and had their songs in the canon of all the classics. All the best to you and Chrissy and the kids, Slim.
