fresh out of batteries, but we're still makin' noise
As Yuki mentioned in the comments of the last entry, Weezer will be making their return to Vancouver, downsizing from the Pacific Coliseum to play the Commodore on April 26th, two weeks before their new LP, Make Believe hits stores. Tickets are on sale this Saturday, March 26th @ 9:30am and will set you back $35 + service charges. I can't say that I've been overly impressed with either of their last two albums, but when I saw them at the Showbox in Seattle pre-Green Album they were fabulous, so it might be worth checking this one out due to the size of the room. That being said, there newest single, "Beverly Hills" is now on the net as well... and it's kinda shitty. Take a listen and judge for yourself.

In other news that will alienate any readers who are too indie to care about such things, Pearl Jam played a brand new track at a benefit show in Seattle the other night. It sounds a lot like some of the rockers off of Vitalogy.
You can find "Crapshoot" here
Finally, if you haven't already seen it, Pitchfork has gone live with their news, essentially following a blog-like format. Which explains why they were soliciting "news writers" that are required to submit four stories a week about a week ago... who they aren't going to pay... so they can make more money... by offering something that a bunch of other people are doing better and for free already. Lame.

They're playing the new Weezer on regular rotation on the 91.3 the Zone now. It does suck. And this is coming from a Weezer fan. It's like "Do Somethin'" from Britney--way past their prime.
Decemberists is rescheduled for April 30th at the Commodore, but I think you said you were going to the Weakerthans/Constantines show that night. It's listed at ticketmaster.
