What? me?

Weezer Rocks!

Wow I didn't know they were singing about Charles!

I love Weezer. Thanks, Charles!

I still have that boombox in my closet, and I want those 38 seconds back of my life.

*blush*

Awww, shucks...

Did you use that neato quality enhancement trick for this one?

Big fan of Weezer too, btw

In HS, we sang a variation of this Shaker Hymn. Not as cool as Weezer.

re: #12 Jim in Virginia

I am so out of it. No idea who these guys are.

It's okay. They play that new-fangled rock-and-roll music that your kids have been talking about.

MY KARMA JUST BROKE 100! TIME TO START A CONGA LINE!

You try to play cool
Like you just don’t care
But soon I’ll be playin’ in your
Underwear
I’m like the mage
With the magic spell
You come like a dog
When I ring yo’ bell
I got the money
And I got the fame
You got the hots
To ride on my plane
You givin’ me all
That I desire
’Cos down with me
I’m taking you higher

I’m the baddest of the bad
I’m the best that you’ve ever had
I’m the tops, I’m the king
All the girls get up when I sing, yeah
I’m the meanest in the place
Step up, I’ll mess with your face
I don’t care where you are
Look up and follow the star.

I, I’m gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be givin’ me your all.(oooooo)

After the havoc that I’m gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
I’ve got the answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot.

Oh baby,
I’ve been told I’m goin’ crazy.
Oh baby,
But I can’t be held down.
Oh baby,
Somehow I'm keeping it steady.
Oh baby,
I’m tearin up this town.

Hey, this is what I like,
Cut my heart with a modern spike.
Hey, this is nothing new,
I’ve got more than enough for you.

I can take on anybody
I can do my thing
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But a bee has got'ta sting
I’ma fix it if you mix it up (Hoo, hoo)
Talk smack, and I’ma gonna shut you up. (Hoo, hoo)

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give. (I was born to give.)
I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh
Radioactive (Radioactive)

Somebody said all the worlds is stage,
And each of us is a player.
That’s what I’ve been tryin to tell you.
In Act 1 I was struggling to survive.
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive.
Act 2, I hit the big time.
And bodies be all up on my behind.
And I can’t help myself because I was born to shine.
And if you don’t like it, you can shove it.
But you don’t like it, you love it.
So I’ll be up here in a rage,
’Til they bring the curtain down on the stage.

I’m the greatest man that ever lived...
I’m the greatest man that ever lived...
I’m the greatest man that ever lived...

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give and give and give.
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radioact... (Dioact...) Dioact.. (Dioactive)

I am the greatest man that ever lived.
I was born to give.

God I'm old never heard these guys....

Weezer....still awesome.

Beware the church of climate alarm

As the Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, an economist, anti-totalitarian and climate change sceptic, prepares to take up the rotating presidency of the European Union next year, climate alarmists are doing their best to traduce him.

The New York Times opened a profile of Klaus, 67, this week with a quote from a 1980s communist secret agent's report, claiming he behaves like a "rejected genius", and asserts there is "palpable fear" he will "embarrass" the EU.

re: #19 Dustyvet

God I'm old never heard these guys....

WTF is this? And where did it come from? And why?

I always learn something new here ... guess I needed to have my musical horizons expanded and just did.

The salient thing about most pop music for the last 20 years or so, is that often the Studio itself, (and possibly the Engineer) are part of the overall musical composition. Which is all well and good, but seeing as how most bands make their money selling tickets at gigs, and not so much by record sales, how do they pull the song off live?

Do they sing with recorded tracks? Or is it all lip synch? Both are possible.

Paul Krugman is a dumb ass.

re: #69 Jim in Virginia

I have Nirvana's "Nevermind" and a Ricky Scaggs CD in my changer right now.

Haven't you seen the engineer at the mixer during concerts? There is ALWAYS someone at the mixer going for the best sound, making sure it still sounds good live (compare a tight studio to a big expansive arena). In this Korn/Papa Roach/Powerman 5000 concert I went to there was this big mixer booth in the very center and a man behind the controls.

that song is kinda cool - in weezer nerd fashion. I like.

re: #103 Hengineer

Yes, of course, they usually have one or two guys for mains and likewise for the monitor mixes.

But the effects on this particular composition are studio dubs of entirely different sounding ensembles, blended in with the acoustic stuff.
I am guessing they pull it off with tracks. Guy in the booth pushes a button, and a whole new event happens.

I know they do a lot things that way on Broadway now.

I saw them in 94 and they were good. I trust that memory since I was really young and not yet going deaf from all the loud music I was listening too, lol.

Don't worry about it. The "Big 7" will be to Vista as XP was to ME - an OS that IS what the preceding one Should Have Been and an easy upgrade for +/- $99.95. Don't believe that "Big 7" will require more memory than Vista. If it does, I pass.

I'm not getting the audio for some reason, but that must be the Weezer song. Number 2 after Troublemaker?

re: #130 Catttt

It is really tough to find good versions of that hymn. People try to jazz it up and add lots of stuff. Simple works best.

The Mumbai attacks reminded me of a Private Sector, a novel written in the late 70s by Jeff Millar, a Houston Chronicle columnist. Terrorists (all wearing Halloween masks) take over a crowded movie theater on Super Bowl Sunday and demand the President cancel the game. Once the teams walk off the field, the theater erupts with the sounds of gunfire and the hostages all flee the building. One child is trampled in the melee. Police find the Halloween masks left behind.

Jazzing it up would certainly nonpluss the Shakers. Believe it or not, there are a handful left. When they pass away, there won't be any more, since they no longer accept new members.

I do like the version that is combined with Lord of the Dance. Those two melodies mix nicely.

Tommy Makem - Lord of the Dance
