So the first episode of the new TV series 90210, remake of 90s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210, did not exactly get good press (read 9021-ewww in particular) but I would personally want to wait until the 4th or 5th episode to pass judgment on it. After all, I did occasionally enjoy watching Brenda, Kelly, Donna, Brandon and company back in the early 90s when I was about the same age as they were (eep, age reference alert).

On that note, I'm now going to pay my respects to the original - yes, cheesy but quite entertaining - series by showing you some of the best-looking Beverly Hills 90210 t-shirts I've stumbled upon on Cafepress:

I first found out about Ben Folds and his group, Ben Folds Five when I heard the riveting "One Angry Dwarf and Two Hundred Solemn Faces" on my car radio while driving to work sometime in '98. I think it was the piano-rocking that grabbed my attention -- I never heard anything like it before! Listen for yourself:



Needless to say I became a fan. So I bought "Whatever and Ever, Amen" and mostly everything else he came out with. And then I added him on Myspace where I received the update that his next solo album following the 2005 solo release "Songs For Silverman" titled "Way to Normal" is coming out in September 30 of this year. Huzzah!

A tour is also in the horizon - click the link below to purchase tickets and see the tour dates & venues:

To sate our curiosity meanwhile, the video for its first single "Hiroshima" was premiered just a few hours ago:

As some of you may already know, I'm a Weezer nut (if you have no idea why I think they're the bees knees, I urge you to try listening to some of their albums). Here's some exciting news from their Myspace:

WEEZER ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN TOUR-

Tour in support of latest album Weezer featuring number 1 song Pork And Beans!

Weezer announced today a North American tour in support of their top ten album Weezer (referred to as the Red Album). Starting September 23 at the Tsongas Center in Boston, the band will embark on a five week tour including dates in New York City at Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles' Great Western Forum. This is the band's first tour in three years. Drummer Pat Wilson announced, "if you want to rock, you know where to find us!"

(Read more here).

And if you want to know where they'll be performing, watch this (ingenious and hilarious!) video and make sure to pay attention to the music.
