There are soooo many identical bands doing what Weezer do, yet they just whip these little bands kicking and screaming out of the water and straight into the dirt. All this and it’s not even a great bonafide classic Weezer song. This is the kind of song that does really well commercially but the fans find other beauties in the back catalogue to worship, as do I but you just can’t beat Pinkerton, just pick any song its amazing.

How can you fault a super uber geek who records music videos inthe playboy mansion? Good stuff from Rivers & co. always ones to play on their success with a stunning vid. This is a simple song

Weezer’s “Buddy Holly” video brought together most of the elements of my childhood. The chunky guitars echoed seventies rock from bands like the Raspberries. Weezer embraced their inner geek by casting themselves within a homage to the sitcom, “Happy Days.” For a kid who grew up on Richie, Potsie and The Fonz, it was the ultimate trip, a delicious embrace of disposable pop culture.

It’s the question on everyone’s lips: What will Lady Gaga do when she takes the stage at Radio City Music Hall for the VMAs? But since the native New Yorker’s performance is top-secret and hush-hush until it actually goes down, MTV News has gotten some people close to the singer to dish about what Perez Hilton promises to be “next-level.” And, he should know—he is her bestie.

“I think, without a doubt, Gaga’s gonna be that big star of the night, just because her performance really is next-level,” he told MTV News. “That’s the thing about her: She’s always trying to top herself, and I think she’s going to.”
