(133/365) A song that you feel is highly overrated. I hate the fucking Eagles, man! No, seriously, that’s how I really feel. 

(132/365) A song that you would use to torture someone for information: What kind of asshat wears their own band’s shirt in the video? I digress. I have always hated this band.

(130/365) A song that reminds you of your best friend: My friend was lucky enough to see Oingo Boingo before they broke up. He has always been a bigger fan of them than me. I appreciate them, they just aren’t my favorite.

(129/365) A song that captures your hometown: There are a lot of songs that romanticize Santa Barbara, but I like that this one goes in the opposite direction. So I’ll go with this.

(128/365) Your least favorite duet: Proof that even legendary artists can shit out a song now and then. Even though it was a smash hit, this is soulless and adds nothing to the original. At least Van Halen added their own style to it. It was done for charity, so at least I will give them credit for not profiting off this monstrosity.

(127/365) The most obscure song by The Beatles that you can think of: This had much to do with influencing some of my more outlandish songs from the early ‘00s. I wasn’t into the Beatles prior to the 1 compilation (I was a hard headed Beach Boys fan prior to that) and quickly found that I liked their 1966-1967 experimental songs (later expanded to 99% of their discography). Anyway, enjoy.

(126/365) A love song you would want to be serenaded with: Do I really need to add anything else?

(125/365) A song you thought was about you: This song came out at a time in my life when I needed it. I was socially awkward and thought being cool was something that was important and what I could never be. Weezer reminded me that it’s alright to be a dork and to be cool in a way that no one will really appreciate, but fuck them. You are yourself, not them.

(124/365) The song that was sung in your favorite music video: Great song, amazing video. Not shot with a video camera, but with an SLR with a speed shutter, giving it the flutter of early silent films. Each scene is a representation of the lyrics. An enchanting video for a beautiful song. My favorite. Duh.
