Some noise from the Weezer front

A few months ago, a report surfaced that Rivers Cuomo sent Rick Rubin a CD of some demos for the next weezer album.

Well, today, the first demo for the sixth album “leaked.”

The demo, a song called Pig, is a bit different, being told from the point of view of a pig whose time has come. It’s an interesting idea for a song and it sounds like a good first step (but be forewarned: it’s just Rivers and some instruments, not full-band-rock).

Am I watching the right show?

For the past few weeks, I’ve been going on and on about how the latest hours of 24 haven’t had enough Jack. The focus lately has been on political/legal intrigue in the White House bunker and love parallelograms at CTU.

WrestleMania Hangover

Last night, I was one of 80,000 plus that packed Detroit’s Ford Field to watch WrestleMania 23.

And I was pleasntly surprised, as it was a really good show.

The seats were in the tenth row of the second level. I could tell what was happening in the ring, but there was an overhead light that blocked my view of the video screen. I was happy with the results of all the matches, even if the rest of the crowd wanted to kill John Cena.

The event ended before 11, and I got back to Columbus a few minutes before four in the morning. Considering that and the fact that it’s Opening Day at Yankee Stadium, I’m glad I took today off.
