Apparently not this, but closeSo Weezer, who used to be worth listening to until they stopped making stone cold classic albums and started making derivative shit-fests like "The Red Album", have recorded an EP's worth of new tracks for an iteration of Tap Tap Revenge, which is basically Guitar Hero for the iPhone, only you look even more like an asshole when you're playing it, because not only are you a Dweebus McGee tapping like a half-chimp manchild, but you're also engaging in that most-favored pastime of the douchebag, showing off your iPhone. (Attention iPhone 3G owners: you are now that kid who got a Starter jacket like two years after everybody else. No one wants to be your friend because you own a $200 cell phone that anyone can get by walking into a Best Buy. Now, if you had a Wii, that would be a different story.)
But back to Weezer. This EP is called Christmas With Weezer and as the title implies, it's six Christmas songs, all of which you should know if you ever bothered to leave your home between Halloween and New Year's. It's also by far the best thing Weezer has recorded since "The Green Album" back in 2001. I hypothesize that this is for three reasons: 1) Rivers Cuomo can't fuck up songs that he didn't write, 2) Weezer stick to that garage-meets-prom rock sweet spot that gave us "Suzanne" and "Buddy Holly", and 3) did I mention that Rivers didn't write any of the songs?
