Brian Bell of Los Angeles, CA’s Weezer took some time to talk to the Dallas Observer about the band’s latest album (but not so much any news of a new album). Bell had this to say about the band’s third self-titled album, known as The Red Album:

We’re back on track with good videos! You never know how they’re going to play out, but ‘Pork and Beans’ definitely had the same vibe as the ‘Buddy Holly’ video in that you just knew it was going to work.

Bell also mentioned that the band’s next single would be “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” and that Spike Jonze would be the likely director of the video for that song. You can read the entire story here.
