Harvey Danger's Pixies-baiting, wonderfully acerbic "Flagpole Sitta" was a dark horse alternative radio smash in the summer of 1997, but after one more record (2000's King james Version) the band essentially disappeared - at least to anyone not living in Seattle. That makes "Cream and Bastards Rise" their comeback single, and it's a good one. As the lead single for Little by Little, it is probably a better Weezer's song than anything on Weezers own 2005 album.
