As a number of observers (our own Mac Wilson included) have noted, Weezer only seems to get more ironically detached with each passing year, to the point that you genuinely have no idea if there's a sincere gesture left in them. Their new CD, Raditude, has plenty of this kind of stuff in it (a duet with Lil' Wayne?), but this week, we also got:

Then this:
The second one is apparently real, by the way.

Strange, but I think I just enjoyed that performance with Kenny G more than anything else Weezer has done since 1996.
I can't help but worry that, despite it being a terrible album rife with self-parody, Raditude will still somehow garner CD of the Week accolades soon by virtue of being Weezer. Hey, it worked for U2...
