MATT DRISCOLL: THINKS PINKERTON IS ONE OF THE BEST RECORDS EVER >>>

While I'm not in love with their new stuff, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Weezer. The band's first two records (especially Pinkerton) almost singlehandedly helped me survive the awkwardness of adolescence. For that, I will always be a fan.

Live Nation announced this morning that Weezer, along with Tokyo Police Club and Angels and Airwaves, will play Key Arena in Seattle on October 11. Tickets for the show will go on sale Saturday, Aug 23 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster outlets and LiveNation.com. Prices will range from $25 -$45.

To get you pumped, here's the band's "Pork and Beans" video. If you have yet to see it, you should consider moving out from underneath that rock.
