New Music: Weezer - "Pork and Beans"

So it finally happened, someone in the Weezer camp figured out that they were a lot cooler back in the day, you know, before all of those crappy albums they put out. Well, it looks like it just might pay off. Granted, the lyrical content in this jam is about as deep as a modern Metallica song, but the music and melody is pretty ace. Here's to hoping that the rest of the album strives to match that motif.

The new "Red Album," complete with Century Gothic font and all, will be out June 24 on Geffen Records.
