Weezer @ Madison Square Garden, NYC 9/24/08

Last night was something like my 40th set of music in under a week, and it came on the heels of my second night with My Bloody Valentine (Roseland was amazing). But still it was never in danger of being...  CONTINUE READING WEEZER @ MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NYC 9/24/08»

Rivers and company are out on tour supporting that much blogged Red Album, and they're raking it in arena-style. (Tonight they'll be at MSG proper.

Weezer Cover Talk Talk

Following in the footsteps of Shearwater, Weezer have their very own Talk Talk cover. When we were rounding up Red's b-sides, their version of "Life's What You Make It" came up in the comments, but we hadn't heard it. Now...  CONTINUE READING WEEZER COVER TALK TALK»

Weezer Covering R.E.M., Radiohead

Between Red and various bonuses, Weezer's given us plenty of Weezer lately. Hell, why not give us songs written by other people, too? NME reports the UK "Pork And Beans" single will come in three versions with three different B-Sides,...  CONTINUE READING WEEZER COVERING R.E.M., RADIOHEAD»

More New Weezer B-Sides

Yup, Red continues birthing new b-sides. Last week we heard Rivers do BoA's "メリクリ." Now, there are four songs you may not want to sink your teeth into: "It's Easy" offers loose, jammy country western(ish) sounds (which make me think...  CONTINUE READING MORE NEW WEEZER B-SIDES»

Behind The Scenes Of "Pork And Beans"

You thought it was when Tay Zonday covered the song with Weezer, but it is this, dear friends, that marks the logical conclusion of the "Pork And Beans" meta-meme. We hope. Until the DVD version comes out with Rivers' audio...  CONTINUE READING BEHIND THE SCENES OF "PORK AND BEANS"»

Weezer Release Japanese Bonus Track, Interview With Tay Zonday, Details On Hootenanny Tour

For the Japanese version of Red, Rivers puts his heart into a cover of Korean-born j- and k-pop star BoA's "メリクリ," or "Meri Kuri." It's not very good. It helps if you've heard the original, too. But it's still not...  CONTINUE READING WEEZER RELEASE JAPANESE BONUS TRACK, INTERVIEW WITH TAY ZONDAY, DETAILS ON HOOTENANNY TOUR»

Tay Zonday Covers Weezer. With Weezer.

Didn't we already exhaust Tay's 15MB of fame? No. We did not. Because Rivers discovered YouTube, and then hired YouTube's Most Viewed alum for Weezer's "Pork And Beans" video, and then had Brian sit down with Tay to do an...  CONTINUE READING TAY ZONDAY COVERS WEEZER. WITH WEEZER.»

Premature Evaluation: Weezer - The Red Album

Red leaked in fits and starts and birthed "Pork And Beans"'s beloved YouTube-centric video before we'd heard the album from start to finish. Though we had most of it. If you add it up -- three plus four and carry...  CONTINUE READING PREMATURE EVALUATION: WEEZER - THE RED ALBUM»

New Weezer Video - "Pork And Beans"

Red has been leaking bit by bit -- three songs here, four songs there -- and so far we're all a little less than enthused. Remember when people were enthused, though? Way back when we first sampled "Pork And Beans"?...  CONTINUE READING NEW WEEZER VIDEO - "PORK AND BEANS"»

Rivers Cuomo Is Still Writing A Song On YouTube

New Weezer - "Heart Songs," "Troublemaker," & "Dreamin'"

For better or for worse (ok, mostly worse), tracks from Weezer's LP6 are swishing around the web. This could explain why Interscope has pushed up the album's release date a few weeks, from 6/24 to 6/3.
