What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my son-in-law (cd to mp3)



Well, the Weezer fest is over folks. I annoint them a good band. Although it is fun sometimes to listen to an artist from start to finsh, I still prefer my random selection method. More fun to not know what's next. This album falls off a bit from the previous three. Still a good album with one track I love, but three I don't like at all. This is the groups ninth album, and the release was kind of weird. Followed the previous Hurley by about 2 months. Bad marketing in my view. Turns out this is material that was left off of previous albums, some quite old. Not sure how old each track is. That's the problem with mp3 listens. Only the leadoff Turning Up The Radio is the lone standout for me. The last track is a cover of a Toni Braxton song. Quite a decent album for outtakes. It reached #48 on the U.S. charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Everyone

Best Track - Turning Up The Radio

Watcha playin in my ear?
You got a fix of what it is I wanna hear
Coming through the frequencies
And the airwaves
You say I'm acting like a fool
Hey man, back off, cause you don't look so cool
With your button down shirt tie smack
Man your so wack
Let the music play
Let the good times roll
We don't care what you say
We're turnin up the radio
Turn it, turn it,
Got to get it louder
Turn it, turn it,
Let me hear you shout it
Turn it, turn it,
Get yourself together
Turn it, turn it,
Waking up your neighbor
Listen as I start my jam
Tuning into the stations on the stereo
Don't you dare touch that dial
'Cause I got style
(For miles and miles)
Everybody clap your hands
Grooving to the way I roll with my rock band
You know we're gonna turn back time
To the 80s...
Let the music play
Let the mohawks grow
We don't care what you say
We're turnin up the radio
Turn it, turn it,
Got to get it louder
Turn it, turn it,
Let me hear you shout it
Turn it, turn it,
Get yourself together
Turn it, turn it,
Waking up your neighbor
It's the rock, it's the roll
It's the pop, it's the soul
It's the funk the hip-hop
Oh DJ don't you stop
It's the hits, it's the flops
Billie Jean and She Bop
It's the cream of the crop
Oh DJ don't you top
Turn it all the way
Turnin' turnin' turnin' up the radio...
Turn it, turn it,
Got to get it louder
Turn it, turn it,
Let me hear you shout it
Turn it, turn it,
Get yourself together
Turn it, turn it,
Waking up the neighbor
