Weezer still bringing it

Like Santa Claus showing up in summer, musical idols of my youth, Weezer, dropped a surprise (to me, anyway) single on Friday, this after two full-length albums so far this year. (Yeah, that’s like Santa in January, May, and June.) OK HumanVan Weezer, and now “Tell Me What You Want” have all made me smile, and yes, made me feel 11 years old again.

Is it 1993? Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo says the band is “back to big guitars,” and that their new work is “Blue Album-ish, but a little more riffy.” Yes, riffy is what I want. Their music is popping up everywhere again… movies, TV shows, and soon the band will be back on the road (God willing) for its long-delayed Hella Mega Tour with fellow ’90s/’00s mega-bands Green Day and Fall Out Boy.

Somebody pinch me.

And new music?

“Got four folders going in Dropbox,” says Cuomo.

Heaven can wait.
