(Maybe You Can) WIN A WEEZER SNUGGIE!!!
The rock band Weezer has always been ground-breaking. They also have demonstrated damn good taste from the get-go. And unlike most “funny” (or worse yet, “intelligent”) rock bands, they’re ironic, but not so obviously that they might as well be skywriters. For instance, take a look at the Spike Jonze-directed video for “Buddy Holly,” the second song off their self-titled debut album.
The song is cute, it was produced by Ric Ocasek of the Cars so it sounds awesome, and the video by then-obscure Jonze is one of the only times it’s ever been a good idea to take current footage and mix it with old stuff to make up something new. It helps that they were working with something as nostalgic and silly as the TV show Happy Days, and that the effect was done so well it seemed flawless.
Fast forward to the future in the past, and you get to today, which is the present. Bespectacled lead band dude Rivers Cuomo has gone and went to an Ivy League college, and the band’s music is as good as ever. Take a listen to Raditude and find out for yourself. In keeping with their avant garde leanings, the group has gone and partnered with the single most important invention in our time.
That’s right — they’ve got their own, signature Snuggie! One supposes that Weezer-branded SlapChops are next. You can win one from us, along with a copy of their new album, Raditude! To enter, simply become a fan of Super Dance on Facebook — and while you’re at it, have a dance to the first single from Raditude, “If You Are Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To),” or the smattering of other fine Weezer and similarly buoyant tunes on our Buzzthrill playlist in Super Dance.
