Speaking of Weezer, Seattleite James Burns launched a campaign to raise $10 million to get them to break up last week. From the original campaign:
Every year, Rivers Cuomo swears that he’s changed, and that their new album is the best thing that he’s done since “Pinkerton,” and what happens? Another pile of crap like “Beverly Hills” or “I’m Your Daddy.”

Drummer Pat Wilson then replied via Twitter:
if they can make it 20, we’ll do the “deluxe breakup”!
Unfortunately, I think he’s joking.
