Two weeks ago on a mini-shopping spree, I bought Weezer’s newest album Make Believe to see what Weezer’s been up to these past 12 years.

Alienating Customers
If you run a business and are looking to alienate your customers, just do exactly what the music industry does. You can’t fail with this method.
