Weezer has sucked ever since Matt Sharp left the band. By now, pretty much everyone is aware of this fact. Since then, frontman Rivers Cuomo has put out a lot of crap. Now though, he has made the full transformation into a completely non-relevant rock star. He is currently set to record a collaboration with Christian friendly teen-pop duo Aly & AJ.
A while back, when I was working at a studio in LA, I was present during an Aly & AJ session. In case you don’t know, they are two teenage girls managed by their mother and some other handlers. Usually they’d show up around 3 hours late (once because their mom was giving one of them a bath - they’re like 17 or 18 years old). Then, they’d be told to sing something for a few minutes, the producer would auto-tune-it-up and then they’d order delivery. Being a disney teen-age pop-star is hard work.
I can never remember which one is which but since I wasn’t allowed to speak to them unless I was spoken to one of them ended up eating my tacos…I was robbed of my dinner that night. Yes, I am bitter about it. The point here is, why can’t Rivers Cuomo collaborate with Matt Sharp again? That seemed to work pretty well on the Blue Album and Pinkerton don’t you think?. Come on dude…Aly & AJ? Damn.
