“he does have a point: a second album selling only 10% of what the first one did, when else has that happened?”

I’m sure that has happened a hell of a lot of times. I wonder if Wheatus’s second album even sold 10% of their first?

Yeah, Brian on the harmonies of course. And that interview was great, he does have a point: a second album selling only 10% of what the first one did, when else has that happened? That’s a mighty big drop-off, I can understand how he took that hard.

Calling the bong reference “tasteless” kind of slaps of knee-jerk puritanicalness, imo. It’s a sad line, if you really think about it, and I think it’s about being disappointed in himself or maybe not living up to some of his childhood ideals*.

I remember in “Rivers Edge” (not the greatest resource, I know), a quote from Justin Fisher about how Rivers (and some others) confronted him about his alleged dalliance with pot at a party and how they wanted to make sure he wasn’t going to do that kind of thing anymore.

Fast-forward several years and Rivers’ band/career/life is in limbo and he’s basically hanging around smoking pot with Mikey all day, and maybe we can get an idea of where he was coming from when he wrote TSS.

*see also the line “I never swear like that.” In an old interview, Rivers said that he and his brother had to teach each other to swear when they left the ashram and enrolled in public school.

Favourite Weezer songs of all time? Fuck, he rhymes “on it” with “on it!” Terrible except for maybe the build up into the last chorus… but it still has that terrible rhyme… *shudders*

The obvious reply to that would be “NO U”.

That outro is certainly good sampling material.

Also, that interview is good… I kinda really understand where Rivers was coming from, so the whole Green/Maladroit thing make more sense. And arrogant as it may be, I think I can understand why he did that “little bitches” thing as well…
