Don't Worry Baby

Rivers Cuomo is the delightfully dorky lead man from garage bandish Weezer. They have built a career on writing well written, simple, organized, and catchy music for almost 20 years. Rivers has written songs about playing Dungeons and Dragons in the garage, being a square on 60's America, and smoking pot.
Rivers has released a solo song, while the band is on tour promoting their last album called the Red Album. The song is called "Don't Worry Baby" and can be listened to for free at http://www.last.fm/music/Rivers+Cuomo/_/Don. This follows the enjoyable and pleasant sound that Rivers has become so adequate at duplicating. It has a late 50's and 60's band feel by addding harmonic vocals and simple guitar transitions. Like all Weezer music, Rivers is able to add radical guitar solo's to make it his own and adds the punk feel that most of his music has. Rivers is able to cut through the clutter of his guitar pedals and produce an upbeat piece of work. A perfect median between pop disasters and inadequate metal of the music industry.
