Hey yall. As u know, I have teamed up with =w182= to bring u the most up to date news about =w182-. I would like to announce that Weezer has written a new synth pop electro song called “The Kids–We Are Here to Stay On Our Planet: Save It.”
Please do not re-embed this video. Please link directly to this HRO Exclusive.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I googled for the lyrics and I think that they are just plain beautiful.
You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice was too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequencesControl yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
I think that this says a lot about life. I feel like Rivers Cuomo really gets what life is all about. I feel like he can relate to ‘the common man’, just like me.
But seriously yall, this is big news. Two indie bands from different generations uniting to for a mega music meme.
This would be like Michael Jackson covering Justin Timberlake.
This would be like Marvin Gaye covering R Kelly.
This would be like Janis Joplin covering Jewel/Sheryl Crow.
This would be like the Beatles covering Coldplay.
This would be like Coldplay covering Metrostation.
This would be like Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails.
This would be like New Order covering Interpol.
This would be like Phil Spector covering Grizzly Bear.
This would be like the Beach Boys covering Animal Collective.
This would be like Giorgio Morodor covering Justice.
This would be like Depeche Mode covering Cut Copy.
This would be like ____________(old, transcedent artist) covering ___________(new, relevant artist).
This would be like Brit Spears covering the Hannah Montanas.
This would be like U2 covering U2.
This would be like Madonna covering Madonna.
I feel really lucky 2 be alive 2day.

Поссорился на днях с женой. На следующий день просыпаюсь, жена уже ушла, на столе завтрак: лежит два раздавленных яйца и мелко-мелко искромсанная сосиска. Мда, намек понял… В обед заехал в магазин – купил пилотку и степлер… Тоже намекать буду…
