Just jokes, kids. There’s no way to make Facebook look like it did before. Would you like to know why? Because they figured out a new way to design the site that accomplishes one, maybe two goals. The second goal…

Since You’re Gone

So Weezer has covered a great song by The Cars for Pixar’s Cars 2. (both parts are a big deal in my house right now). And it made me think of my favourite song by The Cars. For the record,…

Be Resourceful

August long weekend. Always a lot of fun. Sometimes you have to fend for yourself though. I’ve been around for long enough that I’m not company anymore. And sometimes I get thirsty. For beer. So here’s a collection of tools…

I’m Jello.

I can’t play any instruments. Not even close. I regret it a bit when I watch videos like this one from Weezer. If being in a band is, even for 10 minutes, this much fun, I might have to learn…

Let’s go.

Alright, let’s see: Great guitar intro. Check. Awesome falsetto bridge. Yep. Rock and roll all the way through. You know it. Like that’s not enough, this song contains the line, “I’m going surfin’ ’cause I don’t like your face”. Zang.

Seemed like a hard-working fella, but I’ve never seen someone in a suit scooping popcorn at a movie theatre, that I can recall. He’s on the right. I suppose it makes sense if it’s going to be $8 for a…
