I'm sure you've all heard this song, even if you haven't posted it.  But I want to.  Partly because, of course, I have a story to go with this.

When I was in high school, the first friend I met was this kid named Matt, and we got like a house on fire.  There were always these gold  records hanging on the wall in his house and it was Nashville so I never really thought about it, but one day I asked what they were for.  "Oh, my dad was in a band called Toto, he did this song 'Africa.'"

So once this new cover came out and became a meme sensation, part of my brain keeps imagining Matt's dad going "...why am I getting all these royalty checks all of a sudden?"

Weezer - Rosanna



Really cool story. Yeah, I watched the performance the other day and I like their version of Africa. Also dig their cover or Rosanna too. So, who is Matt's father in the band? I want to know!

An actual rock band performed "Dayman" from "Always Sunny" (couldn't find a thread for it) and it's awesome.

I listened to this song so. man. f*cking. times. tonight.


I actually need to run it through Audacity, that abrupt ending is really annoying me.  Going to have it repeat and fade out, like a real song.

Only Weird Al can get away with rockin' out with an accordion.

TOTO - HASH PIPE (WEEZER COVER) - LIVE



Turn around is fair play. Toto does a great job with Hashpipe.

Steve Perry - No Erasin'



Perry is back from a self-imposed 20 year hiatus.  I think the song is good...he sounds good. But I don't expect there to be any songs on the forthcoming album where we 'hear' vintage Perry hitting anything close to those high notes he is synonymous for. Like I said, this song is good for what it is and exactly what I expected. Will I check out the album when it drops? Yep.

Weezer- Africa (Official Music Video)


So many levels of meta going on here.  They're covering a song by another band, with a video recreating one of their own music videos, with another singer impersonating their lead singer.  I love that.

Ha! That's awesome. Did you also catch that they shot it in 4:3 to represent the original video aspect ratio? BTW, how the f*ck is it that Al never ages?

RATT and Marvin Gaye - “I Heard it Round and Round the Grapevine”



Okay, this is about the coolest sh*t I've ever heard! It's nuts how Marvin's vocals are locked in so perfectly with Round and Round.

Lou Gramm - I Want To Know What Love Is @Gathering On The Green - Mequon, WI - 7/14/2018




I've been listening to Foreigner for years and some of Lou's early solo work when he left the band. But I haven't seen any recent footage of Lou in probably 20 years if not longer. So, seeing this video just now, he is practically unrecognizable from what I remember him looking like all those years ago.

Def Leppard - Personal Jesus




I haven't really heard much of anything from Def Leppard since the Sparkle Lounge back in 2008. That's a long ass time. This cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" is better than I thought it would be. It's understated by Def Leppard standards, which I'm fine with.

This is quite good, touching and sad all at the same time.

Gotta love that Weezer has embraced their 80's inner child 1,000%.
