Taking it back - TRL!

TRL actually showed 20 videos today on the countdown instead of 10, which was refreshing. I don’t know what prompted them to do it, but I definitely thinks it’s a good idea to do that every once in awhile. Adds some variety. I haven’t seen videos in the AM on mtv in weeks, so who knows what’s going on there.
New song they showed on the countdown at #13 was Weezer "Beverly Hills." I really like this song, and have always liked Weezer. This song’s pretty true to their sound too. Remember “Buddy Holly?” I used to absolutely love that one and the video was classic too. That one takes me back to the summers when I was little and my brother and I used to play video games all day. Haha. Weezer’s actually been around since 1992. Their new album, Make Believe, is coming out on May 10, so go grab that one(if you still buy cds – haha). There’s also an article on them in Rolling Stone right now (thanks, Katie for the idea!). They’re on the cover for the first time, so if you really like them, there’s some good reading for you.

    I actually have the old Weezer CD. Well not old, but their last one. Loved it. It was my summer cd. Played it heading down to the beach all the time. When I hear a song off that album it makes me think of summer. Just a little tid bit: when a radio station first played their new song "Beverly Hills", those were the only lyrics they had. I guess they had to change it up a little bit to make it more "MTV-ish"

    One last thing: if you look at your right hand column ... for some reason the template you're using cuts off the names of some of your links. Maybe you can shorten them. I guess its really not a big deal. Just thought I'd let you know!

    I don't see the cutoff?! Maybe it's just me or it's the different settings on computers?

    Do you think that watching TRL everyday is kinda boring? I like that the guests they have each day but I feel like I am watching the same video's over and over again!

    Rolling stone has some awesome articles, no prob helpin ya out! I use to love that weezer song, buddy holly. It brings back some old memories for me too. Im not a big fan of TRL becasue they always cut off the videos and spend the entire show talking or filling it with interviews or other crap. I mean if i vote for a video to be on the countdown i want to see the whole thing, but maybe thats just me. Im am glad they are starting to play some videos in the morning now.

    Yeah, trust me, I actually rarely watch TRL. I used to be addicted when I was in high school, but like Katie mentioned, it gets really old really fast when they play only 5 seconds of a video. One more reason why they really need to bring back the morning videos. I can't find a time where they only play just videos! Even MTV2 has shows on the majority of the time.

    the new weezer album's sooooooo good. it's pretty close to pinkerton which most of their fans consider their best one. overall it's really different than beverly hills though.

    I'll have to check Pinkerton out. They were just always one of those groups for me that I really liked, but I was too lazy to go get their cd. I was kind of just content with hearing their stuff on the radio and whatnot.
