Steph:  Hey, Derek, did you hear, uh, Weezer came out with a new album?

Derek:  Yes, I did hear that. Now they’re the ones that sing the sweater song, aren’t they?

Steph:  Yeah. Isn’t that a cute song?

Derek:  I think it’s a pretty catchy little tune.

Steph:  Totally catchy. Yeah. I think this is like their 7th or 8th album.

Derek:  Really?

Steph:  Yeah. It’s really cool. It just hit the shelves today.

Derek:  Well, that sounds pretty cool. Have you heard anything from it?

Steph:  Ya know, I’ve heard a little bit. Um, from what I heard, it’s pretty sophisticated. And, ya know, they’ve been around for a while so. Ya know, they’re in their 30s and they’ve been making music since they were like 20.

Derek:  Ah, so it’s time to grow up is it?

Steph:  Yeah. Kind of. I guess it’s that way for everyone, right?

Derek:  I guess so.
