@moet-chan: Gross! Those nachos were out all day and the cheese had totally solidified on top of them. We noticed a beetle going to town making under-nacho tunnels… eew. The jalapenos were getting dried and pruny, too.

@Ollie: I might think that’s similar to the reputation Weezer has over here actually. I have to give it to you in that I agree it was cool they tried to involve their fans in an original way, though. As far as their latter 2 albums compared to their first 2, though, … I can’t say I’m sorry I fell off as even a lukewarm “fan.”

That’s funny – I guess Californians do like the guitar. There’s definitely a rock influence in the air over here in LA in particular, which is why a lot of bands come here to “relocate” and base themselves in a “scene” so they can get noticed. But Weezer definitely takes a bit of the beachyness and infuses it in a lot of their tunes. Of the ones I’ve heard, anyway.

@Hrafn: T’was a fun day!

I do hope I get in the final cut, because then that would have essentially been a whole day wasted. But at least it was fun, so I can’t really complain. I’m sure you’ll hear if I make it.

We’re a bit of elitists aren’t we? I have a hard time feeling sorry about that though…haha. I’m just thinking, discerning > non-discerning.

Sounds like a fun day! I’ve liked Weezer’s stuff since I was eleven or twelve, and these days I get nostalgic every time I hear them. Their “Pork and Beans” video hit home with me as well, after all my webscavating.

So, do you think we’ll see much of you in the video?

My possessive self has to deal with sharing the music with everyone and their mother – including people who wouldn’t ordinarily be scoping out the “good” music from the mediocre.

Boy I know that feeling.

Apologies, didn’t actually explain what some Brits consider a stereotypical West coast band is. Basically, it’s a similar thing to our boy and girl bands (Take That, Westlife, Spice Girls, Girls Aloud…). Same old s@£t every single day of the week. Just that Californians use more guitars. And apparently, have more fun.

Although I own Weezer’s first album, straight off the success of that song from that film (sorry, can’t remember exactly), I’m not what you might call a fan. But I have to give Weezer some respect here. Because they’ve not only involved many of their fans in a special moment for them (I’m assuming it was free to take part) but they’ve also allowed people who aren’t necessarily die-hard fans to have a great time as well.

Weezer have a reputation over on these shores as a stereotypical 1990’s/2000’s band from West coast America. While I’m sure that isn’t accurate in the slightest, I can see where the rep came from. But maybe, just maybe, their attitude towards their fans makes them less stereotypical.

Do let us know if we get to pick you out on final cut of the video.
