Rivers and band continue taking turns that leave some longtime fans in the cold, but their killer performance of the Raditude standout “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” with the Late Show band cast the new Weezer in the best light possible, showing that after all these years they’re top notch performers who are still capable of churning out a straight-up stellar pop song.

Do you remember your first music video?

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
A tree taps on the window pane
That feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die

At the top of the stairs
Is darkness

I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
and what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there’s some things I still don’t understand

You were so tall
How could you fall?

Some photographs of a summer’s day
A little boy’s lifetime away
Is all I’ve left of everything we’ve done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
To remind me that I’m but my father’s son

I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute

Previously, I collected a series of homepage designs covering Obama’s win. This time around, when I heard Michael Jackson was on the verge of death by cardiac arrest, I started taking some screenshots of major news outlets’ websites. The coverage area on each layout was not as vast it had been for Obama, and I was expecting more space dedicated to the story.

I went back to my desk, unpaused my phone, and fielded 411 calls. Relieved. I loved Michael Jackson.

Ten years earlier, I heard my sister cry while listening to “You Are Not Alone“. It was the first time I saw the effects of one person’s existence towards someone else. And Michael’s voice helped bring that feeling out. It’s to this day one of my favorite songs.

Michael Jackson’s music brings me back to simpler times. His message gives me hope. His smile made me feel like there were good people in this world.

I’m really going to miss Michael Jackson.

a pop-punk band from North Reading, MA (1995 – 2001). Richard Chen played guitar and sang. Jeff Buchwald played drums. Matt Classic played guitar and sang while Alan Yang sang and played bass. All members of the band except for Buchwald went on to form Model Kit. Their songs were often times comical and the content ranged from Transformers to computers.

They played with such bands as Spiff 45, Go48, Fake I.D, The Bends, Weston, The Ducky Boys, Lanemeyer, 5 Bucks!, Header, Junction 18 and many others.

Yeah so this band had the funnest songs – Scrabble Song, Burger Prince, Like Will, Ally McBeal. I’m thinking of buying a cheap squier and starting a cover band to relive my mediocre youth. The album art you see below for the Anthology and We’re Sorry Sessions is not official – there was never any official art. I used some pop art photos I had which are probably copyright protected. 

You’re on your own for track order and song tagging. You can check out Matt Classic‘s page for help on that.
