O novo álbum dos Muppets foi liberado para audição completa e em bom som através do portal First Listen , da NPR.

Então, confira abaixo o álbum na íntegra, incluindo dueto entre o Weezer e Hayley Williams , do [...]
Foster the People cover Weezer's 'Say It Ain't So.'
We told you a little while ago that Weezer covered Foster The People 's "Pumped Up Kicks" live, and now the favor has been returned. At their Prospect Park show with Cut Copy last week, the band did a cover a "Say It Ain't So" This crowd was digging this and so should you. Foster The People - "Say It Ain't So (Weezer Cover)

So last week, I saw that Weezer had covered the hit song by Foster The People , "Pumped Up Kicks" . With Rivers reading the lyrics off a cheat sheet, I wasn't too impressed with the whole idea or performance. Today though, Foster The People return the favor with a nice performance of "Say It Ain't So" . Obviously their frontman knew the lyrics, just like everyone else I'm sure. It must have been humbling to have a band they've looked up to cover their music, even if he looked like he did it on [...]

NPR is streaming ' Muppets: The Green Album ' a collection of Muppets tunes featuring contributions from Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, Weezer, OK Go and Rachel Yamagata. The only beef? Instead of The Fray covering "Mahna Mahna" the album producers should have gotten Menomena, whose band name was inspired by the Muppet's song. Tweet

Last Monday we reported on Weezer covering Foster The People 's breakout hit " Pumped Up Kicks " during a recent concert.
San Francisco's Outside Lands Festival got off to a good start on Friday with a four hour set with Phish.

The best things are worth waiting for though, eh? We sent Paul Caudell to Sonisphere a little over a month ago, and here's his review. Photos by Ben Gibson ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/h ideoutbenphotography/ ). Sonisphere was back for it's 3rd year and we couldn't have be more excited. It was bigger, it was louder and it was thrashier than before. We set off from London to Knebworth House with the Muso's Guide 'Palace of Dreams' in hand and a whole lot of jagermeister to embark on a metal encrusted rock'n'roll weekend, we did it just for you, [...]

Will they tarnish, will they taint? glorify me, overthink, say they know me, say Im great say Im phoney, I was fake say the things about me they never told me to my face. ~ J. Cole Purple Rain - J. Cole - Off of his recently released mixtap, Friday Night Lights, J. Cole is the truth. I'm so excited for this cat. He's a lyrical innovator/producer extraodinaire. So damn refreshing. Cop the whole mixtape here: Friday Night Lights , courtesy of 2 Dope Boyz. via [...]

Weezer performed a live cover of Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks" at this year's Orange County Fair. Looks like Rivers is reading the verses off a sheet, but other than that it's a pretty damn good cover.

It really comes as no surprise to report that Weezer has covered this summer's half underground/mainstream hit " Pumped Up Kicks " by Los Angeles group, Foster The People.
Depois de Paranoid Android , o Weezer se rendeu a um cover de uma faixa quase fresquinha. Rivers Cuomo e sua turma mandaram na última quinta feira, na Califórnia, uma versão de Pumped Up Kicks , do Foster The People . O Foster The People é uma banda que está na ativa desde 2009 e que lançou seu primeiro álbum, Torches , este ano. Assista aqui o cover: Leia Também: Clipe: Foster [...]
By this point we know that Weezer have a penchant for doing cover versions of songs, we've heard them do Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" , Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" along with them playing Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" at the last two festival appearances I've witnessed them at. So we know they're not afraid to try new things and cover whatever they god damn feel like. Footage appeared online over the weekend of them covering LA boys Foster The People and their track "Pumped Up Kicks". An unusual choice some might say as Foster The [...]
