Weezer would probably be my favorite band right now if I were to base that purely on a complete lack of self-awareness, disregarding the music all together. I mean, there's no reason that a performance with Kenny G and a band-inspired Snuggie would be considered anything but stupid and in bad taste.
But if Weezer does it? The band who made the "acclaimed" self titled blue album and Pinkerton? The band who pissed off its entire fanbase by deciding to make sub-par top-40 friendly albums? Well then, it just suddenly makes it awesome.
I'm probably going to listen to their new album soon... I'll probably dislike it, but you know what? I don't care. I got over the fact that most of their albums suck sometime after Make Believe and have enjoyed them for their gut-busting stupidity since then. It's kind of like enjoying a really bad movie for me, except if the director had made movies you really liked and THEN decided to blow his talent just for the hell of it.
