Weezer Invades YouTube

For their Red Album in 2008, Weezer invited YouTube stars to be in their video for "Pork and Beans." This ultimately led to Weezer winning a Grammy for "Best Shortform Music Video." Two years later, the band has decided to turn the tables by making themselves available to leading YouTubers for inclusion on their channels. Today, on the release date of Weezer's new album Hurley (Epitaph, Sept. 14), a de-facto Weezer-ization of YouTube is in effect, as all the participating videos are being featured, in rotation, on the site's homepage all day. Check out the YouTube clip of "AutoTune The News" below.
