We just saw one of our favorite spirited - old bands last week live, when Weezer came through Houston. Rivers put on an oddball show for his fans that know what to expect from the cerebral rocker. We've really enjoyed the Red Album and are happy to hear that "I Want to Take You Home Tonight" will be added to his collection of solo demos, Alone 2: The Home Recordings, which will be out 11/25 on Universal.

Here is Weezer's "Pork and Beans" video featuring Youtube sensations. Unfortunately Chris Crocker made it in there... barf!

If you go check out Weezer’s website, you’ll hear “Pork and Beans” that’s streaming from their front page. The obvious first single is catchy and clearly will be a hit with the teen-something slacker skater types.

Their self-titled album, informally labeled “Red Album” is out June 24, 2008. This makes their third self-titled “Weezer” album out of six.

Fontman Rivers Cuomo tells Rolling Stone, “We put a lot of emphasis on blowing our minds with creative freakouts.”
