Great covers: Weezer - Paranoid Android

I have been meaning to write about this one for at least a few months. Covers are strange things. They can give a whole new fantastic dimension to music or really just kill it. Me, I think that if a song is truly good, it will be fantastic almost whatever you do to it, as long as there are talented musicians doing the cover. When I saw that Weezer was doing Paranoid Android by Radiohead though, I was a bit scared for them and at the same time filled with anticipation. Weezer is a good band musically and I have heard a lot of good covers, but paranoid android is... well... grand, to say the least. The different parts, the singing, the solos... my oh my. You have to have guts and skills to take on something like that. I am however thrilled to tell them that they ACE it. It's brilliant and fantastic and give yet a new dimension to the song, even though it is also pretty true to the original. That is even more impressive than taking it to a new style.. Maybe.. I have to think about that some more. In the meanwhile, enjoy!

Great songs & Great music videos: Island in the sun - Weezer

In light of the last e-mail that was all about Christmas and Weezer it's time to celebrate the spring instead. After about 3 days of sun in all of 2009 it actually looks like sun and spring is heading this way!! I am so sick of snow, I guess this is the revenge for wishing for snow instead of brown fields for Christmas.

This is one of the most beautiful spring/summer songs there is. It makes you feel nice and safe and happy. The video is one of the most cute, sweet and videos around too. All the animal babies playing together, it's almost like a piece of heaven :) It's no wonder that it's great really, I mean, it was directed by none other than the great Spike Jonze. I am sure I'll get back to him later :) You can read more about the song here. And see the video here.
