Weezer cover Radiohead’s Creep, live in Portland from Dave Allen on Vimeo.

I stole the above video from my new favorite blog: Hipster Runoff.

A bunch of bands posted new songs on their myspace:
The Verve - “Love is Noise”
The Bronx - “Knifeman”
Lily Allen - “Guess Who Batman?”

The winners of Radiohead’s animation contest are up on their myspace.

Jinners has a wrap up of last weekend’s After the Jump Festival.
