Karlscorner-Fishinvid.jpgKeep Fishin' report:


  • single:

some updated info on the keep fishin' singles that came out 2 days ago: The "Maxi CD #1" has a picture of Kermit on the cover, and the "Maxi CD#2" [uk only] has an image of two people fishing on the cover. [these images will be added to the discography page asap] Also, the mystery of the Dope Nose video on CD #2 has been solved. The video is NOT listed on the packaging, but is indeed present on the cd. When put into a cd-rom drive, a menu comes up allowing you to view the video. However, it is a Quicktime-only file, so if you dont have Quicktime, you may have to download it. Also, to answer some questions, the live tracks on these cd singles are all from the Japan World Cup Tour, the same shows that the tracks on "the Lion And the Witch" EP came from [just different songs and recordings]. Also, the 7" vinyl single was pressed on "its not easy being..." green vinyl! And here's a breif single review from NME.

  • video:

MTV Canada: on last week's "Select" top 10 countdown show, Keep Fishin was #10!
Channel 4 Popworld, UK: played Keep Fishin' - but have they played the performance the band did there? Has anyone seen this?
Mtv Brazil: debuted on the "Riff" show, "...a punk/hardcore show...the vj said that keep fishin shows the new drummer, [making a joke about Animal replacing the kidnapped Pat]." They classified it as a "d+ video", which is apparently a top ranking! The video is scheduled to enter regular rotation in mid-late september.
College Television: currrently #2, your vote counts!
MuchMusic Canada: on the Much on Demand end of summer edition, Weezer were voted the number #1 song of summer...for "island in the sun".
