Sour is getting played A LOT in our house at the minute. What a pop star. I like how it opens with the riff from Pump It Up.
DrJ commented on the post, Really? 3 days, 9 hours ago

Weezer have put out two, count ‘em, two great albums this year.

OK Human is an orchestral pop album influenced by Nilsson Sings Newman, no electric guitars,

And Van Weezer is a nod to 80s Hair metal but h […]

Happy with my haul. Sometimes a record slips into the pile on RSD and it *never* gets listened to. I have tried to laser in on things I will listen to. And I was able to listen to them all on Saturday.

In the original picture of the George Harrison gnomes that went around yesterday, the box said it was number 1816 of 3430. Now assuming some of those 3430 sets of gnomes are for purely promotional purposes, […]

I am perhaps the only fan of Let’s Work, it’s so enjoyably awful. However the video is a technical marvel and well ahead of its time. It was shot in a prototype HD video and it uses then state-of-the art com […]

Two weeks ago Weezer put out their second album of 2021, and both of them are wonderful return to forms. OK Human is their take on trying to sound like Nilsson Sings Newman, filtered through the lockdown. Van […]

I like the form factor, and the security & tracking stuff, and the app seems very good. For my cycling needs (city suburb commuting) it would fit the remit. The Ampler app hasn’t been updated in the two years a […]

I’ll add to the chorus of approval.

I thought about it for ages until i finally picked one up in the summer of 2019. My work is 12km away by bike (16km by car!) and the last 1/3 is an uphill climb. It d […]

This has been a slow tipping point, for many years it has been weighted towards convenience over sound quality – and I totally understand that. I’ve been a Spotify subscriber from back in the days when it w […]

5.1 can be faffy, that’s my experience, but when it works, it’s great. However since my surround sound is hooked up to the family tv and there’s been this lockdown, the kids are not wholly interested in gathe […]

A rare Roger composition, but I do like Early Morning Cold Taxi. https://youtu.be/5cIK7ZB4HMA

If you’re invested in Bob, that helps for sure. But there are tunes.

I really find it impossible to throw out any free CD that’s come with Mojo over the years. So much so that I just slip them into a little CD wallet folder thing, but I virtually never listen to them. There are o […]

YouTube is a good repository for comedians. Some of the current SNL crew began with an online presence: Melissa Villasenor, Chloe Fineman, Mikey Day and the same is true for their writers. One of their lead […]
