If You're Wondering If They Want You To

Weezer may not have the most innovative album of the year, but they've certainly got an innovative marketing strategy. Between their Weezer Snuggie, Dwight Schrute-coined album, and collaboration with Kenny G, Weezer has gone to show in 2009 that they're willing to be as ridiculous as possible at all times - and I absolutely love it. Their catchy hooks and poppy lyrics certainly don't hurt, either.
If you can appreciate a band who do not take themselves too seriously, catch =W= tomorrow night at the Aragon at 7 pm. Jack's Mannequin and Motion City Soundtrack open this all-ages show. Tickets are $44.75 and can be picked up here.
And if you still just can't get enough Weezer, the T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ Challenge gives us a chance to bring the band to a college campus here in Chicago. Just follow the link and vote for your favorite Chicago school to ensure the winning college will be right here in the Windy City. The school with the most votes will win a live performance from Weezer, and $1 per vote received (for up to $25k). Sweet deal.
To sweeten it even more, we have not one, not two, but three copies of Weezer's Raditude to give away to our lucky readers. Just be the first three to email us at contests@gapersblock.com with the subject line "Rad!" and we'll send your CD along, straight to your door. Update! We have our three winners! Congrats to Paul, Kate and Jon!
