Weezer Premieres "Troublemaker"

Still in the habit of making proper music videos--which may seem like an outdated thing to do in this day in age--Weezer premiered their "Troublemaker" clip yesterday. The band's second video from the Red Album features a giant W-shaped trough filled with nachos, a massive game of dodge ball, a pie-fight, and great big 'ol hootenanny (a bunch of different people, playing a bunch of different instruments).

Like Weezer's first single, "Pork and Beans"--showcasing various made-at-home internet superstars (which to date has collectively over 16 million YouTube hits)--"Troublemaker" also attempts to speak to the common person (circa 2008). Who can't relate to kids being caught up in the video game Rock Band, when a real-life band is playing in the same parking lot?
