From Weezer's official website:
People, its official: Weezer's upcoming 7th studio album (title, details, etc to be announced) is set for release October 27th, 2009!
From Mooney at the Paintball Forum:
I really like "say it aint so" and a few others, but the new stuff sucks.
Radiohead sure know how to build hype. Just last week, the band released a Harry Patch tribute track out of the blue (TMT News), and now a new song, supposedly called "These Are My Twisted Words," has made its way through the internet. Where does the song come from? Is the song intended to be a single? Was it accidentally or intentionally leaked? How come the edits are so obvious? Maybe it's a demo? Could this be the Radiohead cover band The Karma Police???
The original MP3 file states a release date of August 17, next Monday. Hmm. Take a listen for yourself:
Here's the track info, courtesy of Ateaseweb's message board:

Alan Lomax — folklorist, musicologist, and bearer of a vaguely Dr. Seussian surname — was one of the world’s preeminent collectors of field recordings and oral history. He’s known for his work in the West Indies, the United States, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and now, with the upcoming late-fall release of a box set released through a joint effort between Harte Recordings/The Alan Lomax Estate/The Library of Congress/The Association for Cultural Equity/Baskin Robbins*, his pioneering work in Haiti will also be recognized.
Lomax recorded everything “from lone singers to full dance orchestras; from the more polite steps of Port au Prince society to the high-energy rhythms of Mardi Gras drummers; from church services to voodoo ceremonies” while he was in Haiti between December 1936 to April 1937. With the blessing of The Library of Congress, and at the suggestion of friend and author Zora Neale Hurston, Lomax went to Haiti two years after the 19-year occupation of the island by U.S. Marines had ended. Even with tensions running high, the musicologist was welcomed by the people of the island nation, and he recorded 50 hours of music, took pictures, and compiled lengthy notes and drawings.
The Haitian box set will feature 10 CDs, trip journals, a reproduction map with Lomax’s annotations, in-depth liner notes, essays, and film footage. When the whole thing is done, The Association for Cultural Equity will give the pre-mastered, digitally restored, and catalogued recordings to the Haitian people through the Caribbean Repatriation Program.
To keep up with the status of the project, learn more about the original recordings, and just generally check out some cool period stuff, check out the Haiti Box blog!

According to Drag City, Ben "Don't Call Me Kenny" Chasny will soon be releasing his fifth LP for the label, Luminous Night. The label expects many things from the man they like to call ol' "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem" Chasny, including "something powerfully rich and strong, both sonically and ideologically — something that will address our collective spiritual crisis from left field, using arcane and intimate language and following his own damn lights to his own personal kind of solutions." The record will come out August 18 and will include the work of "viola master" Eyvind Kang (who has worked with or has made guest appearances on records from Animal Collective, sunn 0))), Beck, Sun City Girls, and John Zorn) and the production of Randall Dunn (who has worked with sunn 0))), Earth, Sun City Girls, and Wolves in the Throne Room).
The same day that Luminous Night comes out, Chasny and his crew will coincidentally kick off a tour in Seattle and do nine days on the West Coast before joining Om for a seven-date East Coast tour.

Recently signed as the newest Disciples of Southern Lord Records, Pelican are presently finishing up their newest album, entitled What We All Come To Need. The album, the band’s first full-length for their new label, is impressively described by guitarist Laurent Lebec as “the most perfect synthesis of everything we've done to date, sonically.”
The new album also features such a long list of guest stars that perhaps the name of the album should have been Metal House Party 3 featuring Martin Lawrence and sunn 0))). The album features Greg Anderson of sunn 0))), Aaron Turner of Isis, Ben Verellen of Harkonen, and Helms Alee and Allen Epley from The Life & Times and Shiner.
Lebec elaborated further on the content of the album, saying, “There is a current of inspiration that feels particular to each album's music and titles. Though we lack a singer, the song names are often conceptual. This new album speaks to a rapidly decaying world, the fulfillment we find in each other, as well as the resolve to move beyond disillusionment.”
When queried further about what a band does once they reach “the apex of (a band’s) creative output,” Lebec merely looked at me with a coy smile, bought me a beer, and said “Listen, Kid Midnight, quit being so concerned with what MIGHT happen tomorrow and start enjoying what IS happening today.” Well spoken, Laurent, well spoken. Now, can we actually go to a bar and have you buy me a drink?
“No, but here’s the tracklist for the album:”
1. Glimmer
2. The Creeper
3. Ephemeral
4. Specks of Light
5. Strung Up from the Sky
6. An Inch Above Sand
7. What We All Come to Need
8. Final Breath
