Pork And Beans Weezer

A sample of the new Weezer song can be heard here. Sounds a lot like Weezer to me. While we're on the topic, I also just found a Rivers Cuomo song that's been out for a while. It's called "Lover in the Snow" You can hear it here.

Lyrics to the song:

Cath...
She stands with a well intentioned man.
But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back.
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile.
Like someone would hold a crying child.

Soon everybody will ask what became of you.
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do.

Cath...
It seems that you live in someone else's dream.
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed.
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more.

Soon everybody will ask what became of you.
Your heart was dying fast and you didn't know what to do.
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews.
And if our hearts were dying that fast, they would have done the same as you.
I'd have done the same as you.

I'm digging the 4:30 intro to the song, but the jury is out on the singing, Gibbard's voice just sounds a little different on this (hopefully it's just to the streaming of the music).

Vampire Weekend On SNL

Here's a video of Vampire Weekend playing A Punk on Saturday Night Live. Enjoy!

Fall Out Boy Covers Thriller

Fall Out Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" can be heard here. The song will be featured on their upcoming DVD release, **** Live In Phoenix. What do you think about it?

Vampire Weekend Untitled Song

In the setlist for the Vampire Weekend show I attended a few weeks ago, you may have noticed that they played an untitled song. As far as I know, the song still lacks a title, but after looking around YouTube, I wanted to post a video of it (granted, it was at a different show, but still the same song). The recording is pretty bass heavy, but what can you expect from a camera being held up in the middle of a concert.

Enjoy!

Paper Covers Rock, Live at the Beat Kitchen

These videos I found are much better than the ones that I took. Enjoy!

American Taxi Concert 2.15.08

At long last, I had the pleasure of seeing American Taxi in concert. What a great show it was. Before hand, I was looking forward to 2 things: 1. The breakdown immediately after Adam sings "the second you drop!" 2. The bridge on "Paper Covers Rock." I am happy to report that both of these concert moments were incredible, but I'd also like to give a rundown of the rest of the show.

I got to the concert just before The Young Sea went on. Seeing them was an added bonus as I really dig their song "Ghost White." Unfortunately though, that's really the only song by them that I care for. They did put on a good show (their drummer is amazing), but I don't think there's any way to describe their guitar riffs without using the word 'meandering.' After playing a set that was about 4 songs long but lasted for probably half an hour, it was time for American Taxi.

After a quick equipment change (which involved a garbage can, 2 kegs, and a wrench being put on stage), it was time for American Taxi. I turned to my friend, and we debated what song that they would open with (always a good way to pass the time while you wait for the band to go on). As good as I believe I am at this game though, I did not think to guess 'Ain't To Proud To Beg' as the opener. It was an awesome start to the show.

Another highlight was during "Maps And Medicine" when Adam and Jason did their best Stomp impersonation and played the kegs and garbage can with a wrench and drumsticks. Although I have never seen this done at a show before, it will now be something I expect to see at all future concerts I attend (including Kanye).

It was a great show overall. The band was fun to watch, were great interacting with the crowd, and really put on a good rock show. I really can't wait for these guys to make it big.

The setlist went a little something like this:

aint to proud to beg-->
shake, rattle and stall
maps and medicine
paper covers rock
new song
tanner boyle
champaign toast
the mistake
dead street

Expect pictures and video of the new song in the near future. I'm out for now
