Weezer - “Across the Sea”

Pinkerton may not be a perfect record, but it’s a pretty perfect Weezer record. And, for my money, “Across the Sea” is still a high-water mark on all fronts.

It encapsulates Rivers’ sweet/creepy/obsessive/self-pitying vibe in one exquisitely catchy little Japanese box. Which box probably contains a pair of used and extremely well-sniffed ladies’ underpants. But, whatever. Artists.

Still. I fucking love this song to death.
