The Unknown: Weezer’s Black & White Album (Disc Black)

Posted on by

I know no ever reads this stuff…but I’m hoping today I’m wrong.  What I’ve posted today is disc one of a 2-disc compilation.  In order to get disc 2…I need all my readers to go out and support the artists.  As much as I love blogging…it’s not free.  It’s costly to host the files and have my own domain….just turn on all you audiofiles to great new music.  So below is a link to a bunch of great albums for only $5.  I get pennies for any album you buy…but those pennies add up…and allow me to keep going. 
 

 

So think of it this way…for $5.00…you get a great album…plus a whole other album of Weezer goodness.  You can’t beat that deal with a stick.  Happy shopping. 
 
I’ll decide by Monday the verdict!
 
Here is Weezer’s Black & White Album (Disc Black):
 
3.  367
8.  Fontana
11.  Running Man

Buy Weezer’s new album…if you haven’t already.  It’s called RADITUDE!!!

The Unknown: Weezer – The Grey Album

Posted on by
 
 
As most of you discovered…the Purple album is ficitional.  It’s just a collection of B-sides.  But what I’ve realized over the years is that when you have a bunch of B-sides from a particular band…you barely listen to them.  This was especially true when CDs were the primary listening mode.  Less so on itunes…but still…I always put on an album first.  So, I discovered, when I put B-sides together to form their own album, I not only listen more…I actually enjoy them more.  And now with Photoshop…I can make my own cover art.  I can make my own tracklist…and make as long or as short as I want.  It makes the experience just more user-friendly.
 
So, continuing on with the tradition.  The Grey Album is a collection of demos from Weezer that were up for consideration for Album 5 but didn’t make the grade.  I don’t think I’ve posted this before…so would love to hear thoughts.

The 11 Best Weezer Songs

I have a theory about friendships.  There are two types of friends in our lives:  priority friends and obligation friends.  Priority friends are the friends you want to hang out with.  Obligation friends are the friends you feel obligated to hang out with.  (Technically, there’s a third category…”new friends”…but this category goes away after the 10th time hanging out with someone)
 
For example, friends you go out and party with…priority friends.  Your work friends…obligation friends.  Friends you see or call on their birthday…priority friends.  Friends you text or Facebook on their birthday…obligation friends.  Friends you have over for Sunday dinner…priority friends.  High school buds you see once a year…obligation friends.  You see where I’m going with this.
 
But here’s where it gets tricky…how do you know when you’re no longer a “priority” friend and have fallen into “obligation” friend status?  It’s easy.  It’s called the TV conversation.  If you’re hanging out with someone…and you run out of things to say…and you start talking about TV shows, that’s a red flag.  Now, I’m not talking about when people say…hey, did you see that great episode of Lost last night?  That’s implies familiarity.  What I’m talking about…is when you ask someone (or they ask you)…so, you watching any good shows? (works for movies too…except in Oscar season)  If the best conversation you can have with someone is finding out what shows they watch and like…then you obviously aren’t very close with this person anymore.  Cut your losses…and get out while you can.

The Unknown: Weezer’s Purple Album

Posted on by
Weezer_-_Purple_Album
I have always been obsessed with bonus tracks…b-sides…and the rare compilation inclusions.  Finding these songs was like finding a secret piece of a band that most people didn’t know about.  It created a personal attachment to a band…even if they were popular.  Owning “Even in His Youth” made you cooler than everyone who owned “Nevermind.”  Owning “Burro” gave you street cred over those who just owned “Odelay.”  Owning SOMMS made you infinitely more bad ass than everyone who suddenly got into Soundgarden.  Sometimes…in order to obtain these special tracks meant buying an import single for $10…or even a Japanese import for upwards of $40.  But paying this much wasn’t a big deal since the adventure to find the song made it worth the pricetag.
 
But today, we have the internet.  And finding bonus songs is about as time-consuming as it is to type the title into google.  That hasn’t stopped bands from putting out multiple versions of their albums.  Last week…Weezer’s new album, Raditude came out in 5 different version:  the regular version, the deluxe version with 4 bonus songs, the amazon bonus version, the itunes ipass version, and the import version.  Each had different tracks…each cost about $10-$20.  And it takes no effort to hunt them down…so…what’s the point record label?  Fans are not going to go out and download one version from itunes and another from Amazon.  It just will not happen.  All that will happen is that we turn to the internet to download them for free.  Sorry…but you’re just making the situation worse.
 
Make sure you add us to your Twitter…so you’ll know when the Orange Album and Pink Album come out.
