This is not your average New Music Tuesday. No, not this Tuesday. It's a very special Weezer Tuesday. Of course, if you're not into the band then absolutely, this is your average New Music Tuesday. But you've now identified yourself as a boring person and I politely ask you to leave this site before I get upset...
Okay, on with it.
Weezer has released their sixth album, Weezer, and in a move that is somewhat unexpected yet feels perversely right, it's their third album to be self-titled. Of course the fans have always distinguished the albums from each other, with the help of the band, by the distinct colored backgrounds of the three "Weezers." Their debut was blue, comeback green, and their latest red. This set of songs is certainly their most diverse and without question, has their greatest album cover yet. Long live Weezer!
In an effort seen as milking the cash cow, Capitol Records has released The Best Of Radiohead. A thirty song double disc edition is available as well as a DVD with music videos. The argument that each song can only be properly interpreted through its placement within each individual album is both incredibly pretentious and obviously true.
Amazingly enough, Jewel has released a new album, her second in as many years. I know, I didn't realize she had an album out a couple years ago either, but it's true. Wikipedia told me so. Like any number of recent pop and rock artists, Perfectly Clear is Jewel's entry into the highly lucrative and much more forgiving world of country music. She also has thrown in some cleavage for good measure.
