Weezer have always embraced the art of the music video, producing a number of innovative and clever clips over the years. For the video for Troublemaker off their latest self-titled released (otherwise known as the Red Album) Rivers Cuomo and Co. set out to break some Guinness Word Records during its filming. The pop-rockers were able to set five new Guinness records for Largest Game of Dodgeball, Most People in a Custard Pie Fight, Most People Riding on a Skateboard, Largest Air Guitar Ensemble, and Longest Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon. The band is also lobbying for an additional record by playing the World’s Smallest Drum Kit.

The council voted to approve the land-use for a 2,000p. capacity venue that will be leased to Live Nation. The concert promoter will slap the Fillmore tag on the new hall in their continuing effort to build out the brand to other cities around the country.

• Paul McCartney returned to Liverpool on Saturday night to play a benefit concert for The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts with his band.

Here’s a video of the ADITL:

• The Austin City Limits Festival schedule came out today, and as usual there are a few major conflicts. For instance Beck goes up against Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Pete provides much more analysis over at IckMusic.

• It looks like the Weezer boys haven’t had enough viral video fun with their new single, Pork & Beans. They’ve enlisted Tay “Chocolate Rain” Zonday to perform an acoustic version of the tune with Weezer rhythm guitarist Brian Bell for the band’s YouTube channel. Also, be sure to check out Rivers Cuomo’s favorite double albums of all-time over at Spinner.

While we’d probably like to forget we ever wasted what’s most likely added up to days watching stuff like the Numa Numa guy or the Leave Britney Alone dude (we still love leave Kang alone though) - the guys in Weezer seem to have a difference in a opinion on the topic.

For their first single off their third self-titled album - that sounds like a line right out of Spinal Tap - Rivers Cuomo and company have rounded up all your favorite viral video stars to help them out on Pork & Beans, check it out…

Leave it to Weezer to poke fun at viral videos, while making one of their own. The band’s Red Album will hit stores next Tuesday and as an added bonus today on HT we’re going to throw in their cover of The Band’s classic The Weight - which can only be found on the import version of the album - at no additional cost for your listening pleasure…

I was a bit frightened when I first heard about this, but got to say they pull it off.
