"Buddy Holly" is one of the main reasons I wanted "Weezer" for my eleventh birthday. It seemed that there was no way to actually listen to the full song online. Instead I was treated to a mash-up that included the song with "99 Problems" by Jay-Z. It wasn't on YouTube though. That wasn't around. All I wanted to do was listen to the song on Windows Media Player and put it on repeat, and it seemed that getting the album was the most efficient way to do it. That was a good decision on my part. Weezer's first album is a damn fine piece of work.
Did you know the song almost never made it onto the album? Rivers first thought it would be too cheesy, but it was the persistent encouragement from the album producer that changed his mind in the end. It's nice to know that Rivers once thought about how his songs sounded one time. I've pretty much given up on the albums they've released lately.
Oh, I don't want to be mean. Rivers Cuomo is a nice guy.
Jamie.
