Today Stereogum (and I'm sure Pitchfork too) posted the official video for the debut single from Weezer's third self-titled album (sixth studio album total), due out June 3rd. Seriously, the song is not half bad, easily the band's best since their 2002 jam "Keep Fishin'" from the not terrible Maladroit. It could have easily fit on that one or the "Green Album," though in my opinion, it's a little better.
The video is hilarious. Perhaps that's because I have a love/hate relationship with idiot non-celebrities (Kevin Federline, Tay Zonday, et al). At least Weezer is back to being funny, in spite of Rivers Cuomo's never ending descent into irrelevance.
Anyway, here it is:

The video is shockingly good for a band that long ago murdered, burnt and then again murdered the ashes of the burning and then shot those into the sun and then blew up the sun their artistic credibility for me. Pat Wilson drumming with lightsabers is legitimately (legitimately!) awesome.
AGREED!
Phil Dokus I just realized this was you!
That is the best and most inspired music video for this modern age. Think about it. They fully realize that youtube is the new MTV. It's the way people view music videos. Why pretend like these hot viral videos aren't at the forefront of entertainment? They embraced them and that's hilarious. I still don't know how they got all those people to come and agree to do that, OR (if they didn't) how they dubbed in their mouth movements.
