Watch Weezer & Flaming Lips Play “She Don’t Use Jelly” Together

The Flaming Lips and Weezer — two bands who continue to reinvent the live music experience — literally shared a stage last night at NJ’s PNC Banks Art Center. At the start, Wayne Coyne and Rivers Cuomo rolled over in the audience in (which you can see in Wayne’s Twitpics above) as their respective bands played Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf.” The Lips & Weezer then traded the spotlight every couple of songs before the night ended with both bands joining forces on “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “Undone – The Sweater Song.” A report from YouTuber :

Guitar Hero to be resurrected, retooled, and launch reunion tour

Stop mourning wannabe rock stars — Guitar Hero is coming back. We heard the rumors of its demise were greatly exaggerated, but now word has come straight from Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick that the game is currently being reinvented for a modern, more demanding audience. As he told Forbes, “we’re going to take the products out of the market, and we’re not going to tell anybody what we’re doing for awhile… we’re going to use new studios and reinvent Guitar Hero. And so that’s what we’re doing with it now.” So there you go — Guitar Hero’s retirement was only temporary. Like any good performer it’ll be back before you’ve even had a chance to miss it. Looks like the franchise will keep rocking out well past its prime. What’s the console equivalent of playing a state fair?
