Hope for New Weezer?

There is going to be a new Weezer record this summer, and after listening to the new single there may hope for them yet.

Most people would agree that most everything that Weezer hast done since Pinkerton has been a huge load of crap. However, we know what Rivers and Co. are capable of, so there is always a chance for the next one to regain some of that past greatness.

The new single brings back some of the honesty, and leaves behind the some of the contrived nonsense that corrupted their newer records.

Click here for a taste. Oh yeah, the record is another self-titled one, and this time it is red. Also, Rivers grew a 'stache.

Les Savy Fav: "What Would Wolves Do?"

A sweet new video from post-punk rockists, Les Savy Fav, for their new single "What Would Wolves Do?"

The video has some great animation with some M. Night Shamalama-ding-dong worthy twists.

Another example of the good stuff that is coming through Pitchfork.tv.

STP Reunion Tour on Track?

After his recent mutual departure from the underwhelming Velvet Revolver, Scott Weiland reunites with fellow Stone Temple Pilots for their reunion tour warm-up show.

The group was in Los Angeles on the 7th to play a brief set that consisted of mostly of crowd pleasing singles. The show opened with "Big Empty" which has been piped down through the youtubes.

Let's just hope they are able to keep it together for their Dallas show on June 29th.

Radiohead on Pitchfork.tv

Pitchfork.tv launched today and it already has great content available for viewing pleasure. Today has the Pixies documentary loudQuietloud, live songs from the Liars (who will be opening for Radiohead on tour), and Radiohead performing Bangers & Mash.

During the performance we get to see a Thom Yorke on a gimp drum kit to give some extra kicks and snares. Even though he is banging out some beats Yorke is still able to pull off the vocals. The man is a bad ass.

Watch?
