Crossfire HQ has been filled with the feel-good sounds of Weezer’s latest album Hurley this morning.
Due out next Monday on September 13th, the album can be streamed in its entirety from the band’s Myspace.
Crossfire writer Winegums has (unsurprisingly) noted that Hurley is probably their best album in quite some time, and the rest of us are inclined to agree… so what are you waiting for? Get over there and and see for yourself.
The duo will be touring under the name Roller Express and their tour will take them all over the UK. The collaboration has already been debuted with soundsystem workouts at Notting Hill Carnival getting them acclaim. They will be hitting the road with MCs Serocee and Dread at the following dates:
21st September – The Tuesday Club, Sheffield
25th September – Wax:On, Stylus, Leeds
8th October – Stealth, Nottingham

Wiz Khalifa has released another new video.
The prolific weed smoking Pennsylvanian has this time gone on a party tip for the video to In The Cut, another track taken from his awesome Kush & Orange Juice mixtape which brought him to the attention of many rap fans and was the major reason he was signed up to a major earlier this year. Peep game below:
Panda Bear is due to release ‘You Can Count On Me‘ on October 19th through Domino.
Limited to 500 copies, the single has been described by Domino as a gentle duet between Noah and himself, as ethereal and uplifting as ever, featuring an off-beat melancholic chord progression and a light two-step beat.
The artwork is below, and you can pre-order the record here.
Following from the success of Cryptic Motion, the first single featuring the Shobaleader One pseudonym that was released on Ed Banger Records earlier this year, Squarepusher will be return on Warp Records with d’Emonstrator on October 18th.
As one of Warp’s flagship artists, Squarepusher has established a position in the front of the more eclectic electric DJ’s record bags and judging by the trailer below, we can expect another listener’s favourite this year.
The video for Zola Jesus’ haunting synthy goth pop track ‘Sea Talk‘ cut from this year’s fantastic ‘Stridulum II‘ now has its own music video.
The clip that accompanies the track is appropriately flooded with blue, 80s horror flick decor and electricity and is more than worth your attention.
You can watch it below…
Radiohead’s show at Prauge’s Výstaviště Holešovice Exhibition Hall on August 23rd 2009 was filmed by more than 50 fans armed with slick mobile phones. It is now available to download for free from here.
Live in Praha was approved by the band themselves, who contributed the audio masters from the show to the fans to make that concert sound exactly like it did on the night. Absolutely amazing, basically.
The trailer can be seen below, but follow this link for more information.

The tracklisting has been confirmed as follows:
