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:
