Last night, in the space of maybe 30 minutes, I had four people (including a man on the radio) tell me about the new Weezer video, “Pork and Beans”.  Dave picked up his laptop & watched it, asked if I had.  Deven says he saw it on Boing Boing.  Taryn texts me and tells me it’s got the “Shoes” guy.  Then Corey O’Brien plays the song and invites us to go to YouTube right now and check out the video.  After that, I got the idea and watched it as soon as I was at a computer with speakers.  Then, this morning, my dad called to tell me there’s a new Weezer video.  And now I bring it to you, though it’s fairly obvious that I don’t have to.  I’m sure you already know.  Or know somebody who knows and is all, “OMG it’s got the Numa Numa Guys/Diet Coke & Mentos thing/that “Chocolate Rain” weirdo/K-Fed/that dreamboat Scott Shriner!”  And now you’ve heard it from your friendly neighbourhood spider-blog.

P.S. I’m a little embarrassed at how many of these I knew.  And also how many I now know because I looked things up on Wikipedia afterwards.
