Weezer Frontman is Galaxy Fan, Soccer Video Auteur

Rivers

Now if you look at that photo above you will notice that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo no longer looks like Buddy Holly. He kinda looks more like a smarmy guy from the 70's named Stew but that's either here nor there.

That photo was of a triumphant moment for him when he scored the opening goal at the Mia Hamm-Nomar Garciaparra Celebrity Soccer Challenge in LA a while back, which was a bit of a big deal for the emo godfather and LA Galaxy season ticket holder. Why? Watch his new video for the tenderly-titled song "Lover in the Snow" and all will be revealed.

Naturally, they gave the #1 shirt to Mrs. Landycakes.

That's pretty cool for him.

And he totally poached that goal from Mrs. Bianca it seemed.

I love him even more now. I didn't think that was possible.

In another in a seemingly endless stream of weird coincidences, the song "Getchoo" came up on my shuffle mere moments before I looked at my feed reader and saw this post.

This post has spurned me to break out a CD i havent spun in months: Weezer's best LP, Pinkerton. Don't flame me because i didn't say the blue album, every song on pinkerton is about chicks and emo feelings...can't beat that.

I thought he'd be decent after watching him juggle, but seeing the game video...yikes.

I was kind of upset the video was to "Lover in the Snow." The song deserves a much better video.

And yes, Pinkerton > Blue Album. And anyone that likes "Beverly Hills" should be shot.
