It has become trendy in the blog-o-sphere and in real life to hate on Weezer the past 4 or 5 years or so. First off all, I don't care if they released an album that featured nothing but the sound of whales fucking, you don't rip into a band that has 2 classic albums under their belt. It would be like ripping into Tom Brady if he had a bad game; you got to show some fucking respect. Second, Weezer's last few albums are not as bad as people have tried to make them out to be and so far, I am loving the first 2 singles off the new album "If You're Wondering..." and the reason for this post "I Can't Stop The Partying." The later song features a quick cameo from Lil Wayne who drops a short but subtly brilliant verse that has an undercurrent of paranoia juxtaposed against the bouncy nature of the song a la Andre 3000's lyrics in Hey Ya. Some are going to say Weezer is selling out by doing a song like this and others will say that they (and by they I mean Rivers Cuomo) are being ironic. Part of what makes the track work so well is that in the end whether it is ironic or not is impossible to determine. Rivers Cuomo broke on to the scene with lyrics talking about playing Dungeons and Dragons the ultimate symbol of social ineptitude and nerdyness; what does the uber-nerd do when he is a famous and rich rock star? Do you join in the partying that you where never part of when you where young? Do you continue to mock it and or yourself? Rivers' answer appears to be to do all 3 at once while creating  one of the catchiest pop song you will ever hear.
