Weezer, 'Raditude' (Geffen)

Rock's most maddeningly hummable practical joke continues.

After listening to Weezer's seventh release, you may want to describe frontman Rivers Cuomo with one word: demented.

Valentine's Day is nine days away, but a few musicians already have love on the brain. Between the poetry, mixtapes, love songs, and lesbian fantasies (yes lesbian fantasies!) we've heard about this week, you'd think every day was February 14.

SPIN.com's Best of the Week, December 1-7

From tour openers to strange drug habits, Britain dominated the news this week. Plus: Metallica, Tom Gabel, Rivers Cuomo, and more!
Lily Allen / Oasis / Coldplay / Snow Patrol

As we here at SPIN.com sit back and look at the past week, we can't help but wonder: Is the U.K. planning a musical takeover? Oasis and Snow Patrol both kicked off massive North American tours; Lily Allen premiered a brand new single and video; Coldplay was slapped with a new lawsuit; and Robbie Williams revealed his, uh, weird drug habits. It appears the invasion has already begun.

Weezer: Heck on Wheels

Thanks to a renewed sense of fun and a clutch of great rock songs about, um, rock -- not to mention some good ol' marital relations -- Weezer are riding high. Not literally, of course.
