Them Crooked Vultures - the rock supergroup featuring Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones - played their second ever show last night in Amsterdam; the day after they released a promo short featuring 30 seconds of 'Nobody Loves Me And Neither Do I'. Here's both:

Art Vs Science have FINALLY released a video. Surely the delay hasn't been through lack of funds; the dance rock three piece are probably bored of 'Full House' signs swinging from venue doors on their latest "Eiffel Tour". We caught them in Melbourne and to say that the crowd were "responsive" is like saying Hitler had a chip on his shoulder. The band are still unsigned and word is that labels are falling over themselves trying to hook them up. Which poses the question: "Why do we need labels again?"
This new clip for their candy-coated 'Parlez-Vous Francais?' has the band miming in some non-descript country town. Literally. And the farce is infectious. Like the band's music, the head thinks "Hmmm I'm at odds with the complete lack of socio-political dreamscapes in the lyrics" while the feet thinks "Shit this is awesome". Damn you Art Vs Science with your gentle sorcery.
(And without giving too much away, I really do love anything with a circular narrative).

Weezer have announced the title of their new album. Unbelievably it will be titled
Raditude. Apparently. If that doesn't twist the knife in the
Pinkerton pencil case, then at least take solace that the leaked single '(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To' actually offers some hope:
