My appreciation for the Weezer catalog ends with Pinkerton. Everything since has been pretty consistently terrible, particularly the “Beverly Hills”-era, though I do have a soft spot for that “Hash Pipe” single off the Green record. But beyond that, bad news all around. So, Weezer songs in 2009 seem beyond crazy to me, not to mention inexplicable collaborations with Lil Wayne, Adam Lambert, Kenny G, and Katy Perry. I just couldn’t avoid watching this duet with Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester on “(If You’re Wondering if I Want You To) I Want You To”, though. The song sounds irretrievably bad, but my love/hate for all things Gossip Girl override such trifling details. [via Pitchfork]
