"Like a really good dive-bar, I keep coming back" - A Diatribe.

This is supposed to be a review. It is more a speech, than anything. Read it anyway. Then decide whether you want to read it. Back when Weezer came out with the BLUE album, I was intrigued. I found out about them through a very unknown record store in a back alley of Tokyo. I liked how in the video for Buddy Holly, the drummer blew a silent "I Love You" to some betty in the room. This caught my attention, as one of my first experiences with MTV was in a hotel room in Saipan. Music Television? AWESOME! I also liked Zombie, by the Cranberries (not much else by them). But, as I really came to understand the revolutionary genre being created by Weezer, I became addicted. Then, as Weezer caught on back in the States, I realized that to be really 'Alternative' I would have to give away the BLUE album and pretend I didn't like anything popular. IT TOOK ME A FULL 5 years to come to my senses and embrace all forms of music which I liked. Screw up-turned, pretentious snobs that made me turn my back on great music. I don't even have a step-father, but this bottle of Stevens STILL awakens ancient feelings. I am over listening to stuff because it is popular. I am over listening to people tell me not to listen to certain music. I love my music. I write music how I want. I listen to whatever I want. You aren't my mom and you can't tell me what to do! Every song on the "BLUE Album" is great and will grow on you or even take your stereo over for about 2 months. LISTEN TO WEEZER! This is me saying this for myself, to myself! zinndawgg.blogspot.com
