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 3.

The latest single “Pork and Beans” produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M.)  has been embraced by Modern Rock radio making it the quickest journey to #1 that any Weezer single has found in its illustrious history. The single has earned rave reviews in the UK’s NME  and Rolling Stone.

The new album which is the third eponymous in the band’s catalogue and is being referred as “The Red Album,” was produced by the band, Rick Rubin, and the aforementioned Lee.

The one-man video vortex known as Video Matt had the chance to kick it with Shawn Harris, frontman for Oakland, CA’s The Matches this weekend and has posted the results for your viewing pleasure on our YouTube channel. The two discussed everything from Barack Obama to Beer Pong to the band’s latest record, A Band in Hope out now on Epitaph records.

Reports surfaced that the great Nate Dogg had died due to complications from a stroke he suffered in January. These reports are false. Nate Dogg lives on.

I know, it’s a big fat bummer Remy Ma got sentenced to 8 years in jail for assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion, and shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the gut… That was practically a year ago! And she JUST got married! I mean really, can’t we let her have her honeymoon first? Since when does justice come before LOVE?

Speaking of love, be sure to check out her website, where she encourages fans to write “letters about how Remy and her music has positively affected you, influenced you, inspired you, etc… in hope that the judge will be lenient in Remy’s upcoming sentencing. Thank you for all your support. LETTERSFORREMY@GMAIL.COM”

Then click-on through to the actual content. First track that plays is “When I See Her” which goes a li’l somethin’ like this.

Nice of her to put the clean version up.

I hate to brag, but this is the perfect post to follow-up O’Reilly flip-out… Sue Simmons drops the f-bomb on WNBC-TV last evening leaving a very awkward 8 seconds of silence and then this apology to the thousands of watchers:

“I have to acknowledge an unfortunate incident … I used a word that many people find offensive. It was a mistake I made and I’m truly sorry.”

Hilarity ensues (HA, GET IT?!?!):

EVERYONE uses this word at some point and usually on a daily-fucking-basis, but for some reason it’s so much funnier when an anchorman (or anchorlady!) drops it.

Here’s one that’s guaranteed for a good laugh. Bill O’ Reilly flips the fuck out a few years back on Inside Edition.
