If you’ve seen the original Transformers movie, you know this song. Why not bring it back for the 2007 film?

…I learned from watching Matthew Sweet videos.

1991’s “Girlfriend” featured footage from Space Adventure Cobra and was arguably the first ever “anime music video.”

As if performing in bath robes on Conan wasn’t wild enough, soul-super group Gnarls Barkley (Danger Mouse and Goodie Mob’s Cee-Lo) put on Star Wars attire to perform their international hit “Crazy” for MTV’s Movie Awards. And yes thats Borat introducing them.

State and Local police raided the show floor of Motor City Comic Con back on May 19, and now Newsarama has a closer look.

This has been a long time coming. I’ll freely admit that I stole a Cowboy Bebop dvd off a bootlegger at a con for a friend a few years ago. Is stealing from a theif bad? I kinda felt like Robin Hood.

It’s another strange twist in the long, long road to Chinese Democracy…

Guns N Roses singer Axl Rose took time off to perform at Roasrio Dawson’s birthday party recently and was slapped by fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger.

What relevance does this have to the new album? None except it means he’s doing something other than finishing the %#@* thing.

Thanks to a digger, heres a directory of TV show themes.
And theres no telling when all these will disappear, so grab them quick.

The new music video from Pearl Jam has been released under the Creative Commons license, so anyone is free to distribute, watch, edit, etc the video without fear of prosecution as long as they don’t profit off it.

Enjoy.

It has been seven long years since The Rentals have made even the slightest noise.

Now they’re coming back.

Matt Sharp left Weezer after Pinkerton to focus entirely on his project The Rentals. The first release Return Of The Rentals was a modest success, with the hit single “Friends Of P” and while the follow up Seven More Minutes didn’t make much of a splash, I was certainly a fan.

The Rentals.com has updated that the band WILL be playing 2 shows in California and 2 shows in Japan this July, with a world tour to follow. Pitchfork also spoke to Matt while preparing the tour, and he announced that while the lineup has changed since SMM, Rachel Haden (formerly of that dog.) would be back in the fold. You can also check out their myspace page to get more music.
Apparently the credit for the return goes to a new remix of the Tegan and Sara song “Walking With A Ghost.”  Matt Sharp became such a fan of T&S that he recruited former Rentals member and current SNL cast Maya Rudolph to cover “Not Tonight.”

The Rentals are recording new material now and a new album should be due in 2007.
