Full Disclosure on this one: Weezer annoys me to no end. Well, that's not entirely true. Some of their earlier work is perfectly listenable, but lately, they haven't so much been circling the artistic drain as they have been pretty much swan diving into that shit. As the final nail in their coffin of cool, Rivers Cuomo is teaming up with Katy Perry to work on her upcoming album. Where is your God now, music nerds?

Weezer's move towards teenpop has taken yet another weird turn. In a recent interview with Buzznet, frontman Rivers Cuomo reported that he's planning to work with pop starlet Katy Perry-- someone who, we imagine, has destroyed a few sweaters in her lifetime.

Playing a word association game with Buzznet's interviewer, Cuomo dropped the bombshell that he and Perry will be in the studio next week, recording material that could end up on her next album: "We're writing together next week. Can't wait!" (Source)

Holy Christ, really? I mean Jesus, Katy Perry? Weezer hasn't just jumped the shark. They've jumped the shark, turned around, jumped it again, then set it on fire while fucking the shark's mother. And then they never called the shark's mother back. Congratulations on failing at both music and life.
