Blink-182, Fall Out Boy & Weezer Together This Summer
Posted on 13. May, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Music
In what will most definitely be the shining moment of Video Matt’s life, pop punk tyrants Blink-182 are set to head line this beast of a tour. When you’re in what was arguably the genre’s biggest band, you apparently get to hit up your super star buddies like Weezer and FOB to open fer ya. The recently reunited Blink has been slowly releasing information on their plans ever sense they reunited at the Grammys (Grammies?!). Two days ago, a set list (below) was posted by Mark Hoppus [...]

Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by Dallas VonKillbot in Blog, Music
Weezer’s video for the new single ‘Troublemaker’ was released to day, and with it official Guinness World Records were broken. In the video, we get a taste of the world’s largest custard pie fight, the most people riding on a skateboard, the biggest air guitar session and some other things that the band found necessary to complete their musical vision. Check the press release of the records:

And Weezer Announces a Tour
Posted on 06. Aug, 2008 by Ms. Nickels in Blog, Music
Weezer’s going on tour to celebrate their kinda-still-shiny-new album which people are just calling The Red Album because it’s quite plainly red in color. Opening for Weezer’s tour are Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club. Tokyo Police Club were the only thing that kept me in this one stupid bar in Austin during SXSW. They were awesome. The two bartenders upping the price of my drink every time I ordered were not. Synthesis has a ton of Angels and Airwaves content. Like this interview with Videomatt. And another interview [...]

Weezer: “Pork And Beans”
Posted on 14. May, 2008 by some guy in Music
I just listened to Weezer’s new single, “Pork and Beans,” as it’s streaming from their website. It certainly has a catchy chorus, reminiscent of the good old days, but the verse schemes and lyrics remind me of “Beverly Hills,” which, in my opinion, was the worst Weezer single ever released. Far too many similarities to Avril Lavigne. I’ll keep hope alive for the new record, but I don’t know. They haven’t put anything out worthwhile since the Green album. Fingers crossed…
New Weezer Release Date Pushed Up to June 3rd
Posted on 13. May, 2008 by Daniel Taylor in Music
Weezer’s third self-titled record (known as the “red” album, following suit with 1994’s “blue” and 2001’s “green” albums) was set to be released this July, but has been pushed up a month, most likely to thwart pirates. Here’s the release:
The streets can’t wait any longer: Buoyed by a single which reached #1 at Modern Rock radio a mere eleven days after its release to the format, and a tidal wave of buzz, Weezer’s new, self-titled album on DGC/Interscope Records has had its release date moved up three weeks to June [...]

Tokyo Police Club are Friends of P (but only in the UK)
Posted on 08. Apr, 2008 by AJ in Music
If you’re lucky enough to be living in the UK, you might want to hold off on downloading Tokyo Police Club’s debut full-length album Elephant Shell from the iTunes Music Store, and wait for the bonus double disc that hit stores in the UK on May 5th.
The extra disc features remixes of Elephant Shell tracks from Field Music, Tom of Los Campesinos!, Dntel, the Good Life, and Flowers Forever. Those UK-only bonus tracks, meanwhile, include a new song– appropriately titled “New New Song”– and a cover of the Rentals’ “Friends [...]
