Fans of "El Scorcho," from Weezer's benchmark 1996 album Pinkerton, know that Rivers Cuomo has a thing for Japanese ladies -- but maybe he digs South Koreans too? Sunday night at the Jisan Rock festival outside of Seoul, Weezer debuted two new songs!

The Hills badboy and rookie rapper disses Jay-Z and Obama, praises chicken burritos, and explains how he's part of America's "media problem."

Talking with Spencer Pratt is like encountering a mythical beast -- you've heard about it, maybe even seen it in pictures, but you still can't quite believe it exists.
Oh, but it does. And it wants to tell you all about its Machiavellian genius.

The Most Serene Republic, '...And the Ever Expanding Universe' (Arts & Crafts)
What happens when the teacher's pets rock out.
By David Marchese 06.27.09 9:30 AM
A primary-color blast of major-key melodies, airy boy-girl vocals, ringing guitars, skipping rhythms, brass, woodwinds, and rolling piano, the rather exhaustingly charming third album from this Canadian collective radiates with the earnest warmth of a child's finger painting. It's about as deep, too. Almost nothing on this jumble -- not a lyric, chorus, nor riff -- stands out.

Remembering Michael Jackson's Better Days
SPIN's David Marchese on MJ as a hero, a superstar -- not a national punch line.

In the days to come, you will hear a lot of negative stories -- some true, some not -- about Michael Jackson. His squandered fortune. His strange health history. His failed marriages. But I can remember a time when "Michael Jackson" only meant good things.
