Weezer Covers Paranoid Android!

When I saw this video of Weezer covering the song "Paranoid Android" from Radiohead it was like ok this is what an aneurysm feels like. Hearing Rivers Cuomo's voice on a Radiohead song is one of the most puzzling things ever. You find yourself really getting into and then realizing, "wait a minute this isn't Thom Yorke, what's going on!". The only way Radiohead can get back in the game now is if they did a cover of "The Sweater Song" and I will be ready and waiting.

Manchester Orchestra Releases Their New Album

Manchester Orchestra released their new album Simple Math recently and it had me thinking about what people say about "great expectations". Well, it was less about what people actually say about great expectations and more about how my great expectations for this album were not disappointed. If you have heard Orchestra's previous albums I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child, and Mean Everything to Nothing, then you know what I'm talking about. After making their debut Manchester Orchestra and lead singer Andy Hull have consistently put out great music with powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics, and the right amount of instrumentation behind it. Simple Math simply continues that tradition. With songs like their first official single the title track "Simple Math" dealing with being able to go through life and actually question inconsistencies instead of accepting them, and the song "Virgin" which deals with the sometimes unrewarding practice of hard work, this album not only is great to listen to it will get you thinking about things in your own life as well. As Manchester Orchestra is seemingly ignoring obnoxious commercial success with lack luster and meaningless music, actually getting listeners of their album to think about something is most likely exactly what they wanted all along.
