Yesterday I was driving along the A4074 at exactly 50mph (which is dead on the speed limit). One of those speed-sensing signs lit up as I approached, warning me of oncoming bends and the need to slow down.

I didn't, and survived )

Does anyone know what my subject line is ? I can't place it. Deathboy ? Katscan ?

You can't call yourself a bellwether if, several days after the result is announced, you've still not decided which way you're going. Fact.

On Fridays this year we ask...

What's in the Box? )

Today in The Box we have:

Weezer - Weezer (The Blue Album)

I bought this tape a couple of years ago, and the first time I played it was during a rather hideous drive to Whitby across the moors, at night, in extremely thick fog. In between peering into the murk, trying to keep an eye on the white line and remain mindful of the potential for suicidal sheep, I sang along to their goofy songs of g'rages and surfing. When we got to Buddy Holly I'll swear that even the fog lightened up.

I don't often use the word goofy, but somehow it always seems to sum up Weezer. Entertaining, likeable, catchy... but goofy.

Incidentally, a few months ago everybody was all about the video for Pork and Beans. Which was all very well, if you like your humour self-referential, but it was never a patch on the lovable video for Keep Fishin'. Which was also, I reckon, a better song.

Weezer - Surf Wax America [mp3]
