I am Sheriff. It is March 3rd<\/sup> as I am writing this, and I am currently the Events Manager at SCAD Radio<\/a>. For sake of anonymity, I will be referring to my peers and coworkers with code names. I am one of the lucky few who is pretty unfamiliar with Weezer<\/a>. During Weezer week, I will only listen to music by Weezer. At the beginning of Radio\u2019s discussion of Weezer, I was under the impression that I had never heard a single Weezer song. Upon review, I found that I was indeed familiar with \u201cBuddy Holly\u201d<\/a> and the fact that Weezer covered \u201cAfrica\u201d<\/a> by Toto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still believe I am the best candidate to go on this intense journey. I know the least about Weezer compared to everyone on staff and I have the biggest b*lls. Though I know the consequences, which I will dive further into in the next few paragraphs, I\u2019m still choosing to dedicate (or waste) my spring break listening to their albums. I am currently under the impression that they have at least 4 albums and a handful of singles or EPs to listen to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have very little knowledge about this band as of current. As I have said, I know of at least two of their songs, one of which is a cover, and that they are some sort of punk or pop punk in the same way that Smash Mouth<\/a> is. I believe their lead is a man named Rivers Cuomo and he has a very nice mustache that makes him attractive and everyone is uncomfortable with that. Somehow the band correlates with the Wiggles and I am very excited to see how that works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Editor’s Note: The mustache might be a little overhyped, but it does improve his look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At this time, I would like to discuss some of my fears going into this project. The most obvious ones are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What if I like Weezer?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. I am going on a 4-hour trip to North Carolina during Weezer week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If I do like Weezer, I am aware there is a stigma to it. This does not phase me as much as the fact that I will be driving for 4 hours with only Weezer and my podcasts. Some of the bigger and more ridiculous fears I have are of River Cuomo himself. I genuinely know nothing of this man except that sometimes he will investigate Weezer related fan things. What if I upset this man? Will it have consequences? He might have a beautiful mustache, but mustaches are meant to conceal, and do we really know what all Rivers Cuomo might be hiding? Long story short, I fear this man and how he will potentially ruin my life, be it with music or an act of god. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Realistically, I will probably realize that I know more Weezer songs than I thought. After a week of listening to just Weezer, I am sure that I will have favorite Weezer songs, and I might even learn some of the lyrics. (author\u2019s note: Did Weezer sing \u201cHoliday\u201d? I do not think anyone actually knows the words to that song.) [Editor\u2019s note: Yes, \u201cHoliday”<\/a> is a Weezer song.] While on my road trip, I am most likely going to be taking intermittent breaks to listen to podcasts, such as SCAD Radio\u2019s Salacious Scriptures\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In conclusion, if I do not make it though this week, I bequeath my cat to my co-worker who shall be referred to as Peaches and ask my second co-worker, Chicken, to acquire many frogs for a proper burial. You will hear from me at the end of Weezer Week with my findings and opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
