Have You Seen this Girl?

Weezer recently posted a bulletin on iLike, which is their version of putting a face on a milk carton.

It says:

"We are trying to locate a female student that was in Rivers’ English 97 Sophomore Writing Tutorial with Professor Nancy Yousef in the Spring of 1997 at Harvard. If anyone remembers the women in this class (or if you were in the class with Rivers), please contact us immediately. Note: the surest way to contact us is via email: karl@weezer.com"

Any theories on why he is looking for her?

Is it just a Dream?

It was around so briefly, you may have thought you dreamt the whole thing up, but now three of the four members of the pop-band known as Dream are reuniting, and even making music again!

Now you might not even remember the all-female, song and dance foursome Dream, especially if you were not a fan of the teen-pop/boyband genre. (Honestly, who wasn't?) Just in case you don't here's a quick refresher course.

  • Puff Daddy (as he was known at the time) signed Dream to his record label in 1999
  • The band's first single "He Loves You Not" peaked at #2 on the U.S. singles charts in 2001.
  • Dream opened for both Britney Spears and 'N Sync in 2001.
Original member, Melissa Schuman, who actually was the first to quit the band, apparently tried to reunite all four original members, but when that didn't work, she decided to start up a new project with Ashley Poole and Diana Oritz, also original members. The new band is known as Lady Phoenix.

Meanwhile, taking over the Dream namesake, are two teen girls named Jordan McCoy and Hunter Pecunia. They are holding auditions for new members via YouTube. To enter, send in a video of yourself singing and dancing to www.youtube.com/officialdreamtv.

Check out the video of the new Dream singing Rhianna's "Disturbia!"

Jonas Brothers Get a Virus

I admit I haven't made it through this entire song/video yet. I think that maybe if they took the "lovebug" part out of this song, it may be halfway decent.


Just For Fun!

In case you are bored, here is an amusing tetris-like game.

You need to choose "Yes, I understand" before you can play.

Warning: Due to lack of vocal talent, this song is an instant headache.
