Spotted: Weezer Playing Tap Tap Revenge!
It looks like Weezer is more than happy to be a part of iPhone app history; not only did they come out with a Christmas version of Tap Tap Revenge, the band plays the game, too!
This photo was snapped of the guys taking a break from playing in a Los Angeles studio last Friday. I've loved the band a long time (the original arbiters of geek chic, you know), and now that I see that they practice what they preach, I have re-fallen for them.
Weezer Joins Tap Tap Revenge For Christmas App!
If you haven't tried out Tap Tap Revenge yet — the fun iPhone app that uses your iTunes library to challenge you — then now might be the time! One of my all-time favorite bands, Weezer, has released a version of TTR — Christmas-song themed.
The Christmas with Weezer iPhone app is $5 (regular TTR is normally free), but it includes six holiday songs by the band, plus a couple from the most recent Red Album.
That Viral Weezer Video, Deconstructed
OK, geek confession: I've spent way too much time watching the new Weezer video for "Pork and Beans" and trying to catch all the allusions to viral videos. I'm familiar with most of them, but some I had never seen and had to look up, and some were old favorites — in fact, I think alienated few friends this weekend with bar after bar of "Peanut Butter Jell-ay, Peanut Butter Jell-ay".
Thankfully, video kid Nick McGlynn edited together all of the viral clips that Weezer alludes to, so you don't have to look them all up on YouTube yourself.
Weezer's Geekalicious Video: Geekish or Freakish?
With the new Weezer album cover getting some flack for being a little weird, I have to say that when it comes to their tunes, I'm still a fan. "Pork and Beans" is not only the standout track from their new record, it's also the one song that holds true to their signature sound. And since their album is hitting shelves on June 3, it's only fitting that these guys release a new (and ubergeeky) video.
