Gah!! I think I'm going to have a hernia! (Happy Easter by the way) Both Weezer and Ben Folds are releasing hot CDs in the very near future, how happy is that?
First of all, Weezer. "Make Believe" is the new album, it comes out May 10th, which just happens to be the day before my birthday... what crazy talk. Which is happy because after I empty my pockets on the Ben Folds cds I'll need a nice birthday gift from my 'rents. Anyway, the first single "Beverly Hills" is officially released Tuesday, but I think some radio stations have already been playing it. You can listen to it by going to their website and then scrolling down to the March 23rd(ish) update... the link is there. So do that and be happy... the song actually sounds very different compared to the more traditional Weezer sound; it's supposed to be Pinkertonish so that's happy. And go to Casey's blog to read the lyrics. Hot hot hot.
And... and... Ben Folds is releasing a whole bloody herd of cds... There's a new mix of Whatever and Ever Amen coming out (or is out... not sure). Anyway, more importantly, there are two others coming out in late April/Early May, "Songs for Goldfish" which is like a new live cd, and then there is his totally new studio CD "Songs for Silverman". You can listen to bits of Songs of Silverman here. It's all so happy!
The only sad part is that both Ben Folds and Weezer are touring at the same time, and they are both in the Minnesota/Chicago areas May 3 and 4th, and those being both school nights and just days before my AP tests, I don't think they are going to be a go for me, GAH. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to appreciate their CDs and hope they both do a few dates in the fall. Yay for awesome music anyway! Happy Easter again, hope you all had fun.
