As promised, Hosey is back at work on new music and preparing for live shows. Here's our first new song, "Blue Yellow Pink."
It's a sonic homage to the greatness that is Breaking Bad. The finale airs tonight, and I am feeling a mixture of excitement, to see how this whole saga wraps up, and a profound sadness as what might be the best show in the history of television shuffles off the air.

Silent Cal has Something to Say
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
--Calvin Coolidge, 1932(?)
I'm not really a fan of Coolidge, but this quote is worth paying attention to.
"...unrewarded genius is almost a proverb."
Poetic.
This is happening: it is Winter time once again in New York and people are complaining about the chill.
Weak. What have we dropped to? Low twenties, at the worst.
Winters used to be much worse. One time I went to take a piss in my bathroom and the water in the toilet was frozen.
Do you hear what I'm saying? I went to take a piss and I ended up peeing on a block of ice.
No big deal, eh?
What do you do next?

[LINK] Nobody Surfs to Work
Local NYC band The Peculiar Gentlemen have posted a hilarious list of albums I can no longer stand to hear when I'm at the bar. Especially Weezer:
1. Weezer - The Blue AlbumThe rest of the list is just as spot-on: 10 Great Albums Ruined by Douche Bags
This is a combination of the band becoming douche-bags and douche-bags doing what douche-bags do best. Weezer only made 2 great records. This was one of them. I'm afraid to tell you the other out of fear that they'll ruin that one too. The Sweater Song isn't witty or cute after the 14 billionth listen. Buddy Holly isn't associated with that awesome video anymore. You still haven't learned the correct lyrics to Say It Ain't So. He lied about his name being Jonah and nobody surfs to work. Weezer has become everything they set out to defy. (See also Metallica and Rage Against the Machine) They were once the anti-hero and now they are the typical run of the mill mainstream mediocrity that douche-bags flock to.
