...the press, where news travels fast:
Some keen-eyed fans spotted a recent L.A. times article containing some fresh comments from a certain lead singer. Fans comments. Meanwhile, in the new Rolling Stone mag [#916, Beatles on cover], similar ground was covered with a pretty funny photo. And our fave news source, CNN Headline News apparently mentioned this very website today, in connection with the tragedy of STS-107 and Commander Willie McCool. ...Folks, a little word of warning: youre gonna have to keep your eyes peeled in the coming months, as theres going to be weez news coming down the pike from all sides, and it wont necessarily be hitting the 'ol corner! Keeping your feelers out on the magazine racks, tv, and the web is advised...

...this persons got it allll planned out... [Feb 14th: 11th =w= anniversary + "International =w= T-shirt day"]
"...The joy inside of me overflows as Happy Weezer Day approches. Some may call it Valentines Day, and some people are idiots. Good people know that Feb. 14th is Weezer's 11th anniversary. Over a decade of arse kickin music! My friend and I are having an all out celebration by partying in her basement, a Weezer shrine, going to Hot Topic and buying matching outfits then scanning iron on weezer stuff to them, and making bedding with weezer on it. We're also posting flyers on the walls of our school to announce the happy day!" ---Berkeley C. of PA

3. Burnin' For You - BOC
4. Jamie - Weezer
5. (medley sorta) - Don't Fear the Reaper/Sweater Song/Burnin' For You [reprise]
