Maroon 5 Treat Us To New Video, Bjork Plays Games, Paul Weller Spits At Sting?

3/30/07, 2:07 pm EST

  • We would tell you what we really think about the new Maroon 5 video for their new track “Makes Me Wonder” but they are coming here for lunch next Wednesday so we probably shouldn’t go there. Just kidding (about the telling you what we really think part, not about lunch, they are totally coming). Seriously, this video has all kinds of the right things, including pouty shots of Adam Levine in elegant menswear, well-appointed young women attending to him, and a sunset or two. Check it out. And stay tuned next week for the skinny on everything Adam ate for lunch.
  • Trent Reznor kinda claimed all our energy for the is-it-an-album-is-it-a-project-is-it-the-apocalypse thing, but we are sure the interactive game being played by Bjork fans in honor of the May 8th release of her new album Volta is super fun.
  • LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy would like you to know that he can’t be trusted. In a weird self-mocking/self-promoting/self-something mock public service announcement, Murphy warns us to watch out for him. Dude is weird, but he does rock. [via Pitchfork]
  • Whoa! Paul Weller reportedly spat on a portrait of his archnemesis Sting. While at Royal Albert Hall, in London, on Wednesday night the Modfather saw the photo mounted on the wall of the venue, walked up to it and hocked a loogie onto Sting’s image. Then he walked away muttering “fucking tit.” Possibly true, possibly not, definitely funny.
  • The new Beyonce video for “Get Me Bodied” is a mess of shimmery silver dresses and melodramatic dance moves. Are people going to start talking about “getting bodied” now? Wasn’t ‘bootylicious’ enough of a contribution to the vernacular for one pop star? [via Perez Hilton]

I’m japanese but OMG i love his kawaii *cute* voice! :)

Daz, I didn’t even realize that I had picked the Americans out of the list, I was feeling a little guilty and tried to make amends to the music gods. The British leave me baffled, I guess. I sort of liked Echo for a minute…can’t stand new order..stone roses is another one of those “did an album now we’re LEGENDS” kind of myths that tend to permeate the mass consciousness.and On and On…
The Stiff gang was great.
And final word about your list, It’s not that they’re British that they suck, they present deplorable ART.

Daz the Manc | 4/1/2007, 2:27 pm EST

picesappledude

How strange all the American artists are ok in your eyes but the British artists are cat litter!
Well if you didnt have New order,Smiths,Stone Roses you wouldnt have the same Killers,Moby,Fall out boy,Gossip,Interpol,Marilyn Manson and loads more new bands from American who have been inspired as have other bands from the UK like Oasis,The Artic Monkeys,The View,Razorlight,Verve,The Chemical Brothers,The Prodigy and Maximo Park.

PiscesAppleAdam | 4/1/2007, 2:19 pm EST

ok Evie, God or not, don’t you love the symbolic essense of Paul Weller, man of the people, THWACKING a big goober on the annointed one’s photo?
This is the coolest thing since Elvis asked Nixon if he could be a Narc.
AMY RIGBY, by the way.

Evie | 4/1/2007, 12:58 pm EST

LOVEEE the new Maroon 5 single, they are trying to evolve, good for them, it sounds great. Can’t wait until the album drops.

Oh and Sting is a GOD, back up off of em!

Bubblicious | 4/1/2007, 10:42 am EST

EEEW!!! EEEW!!! EEEW!!! ADAM LEVINE IS SO GROSS!!!

How on earth can he possibly be thought of as a sex symbol??

HE HAS NO LIPS!!!

Kissing him would be like kissing a hole…an empty hole…on something that is already incredibly unappealing…

His mouth is like an unmarked manhole in the middle of his face!!!

EEEEWWWWW!!!!!

F@#K the Police | 4/1/2007, 12:10 am EST

Sting = Trantric Poofster

PiscesAppleDude | 3/31/2007, 11:08 pm EST

didn’t K.I.S.S. say Detroit Rock City about 30 or 35 years ago?
Is this MIC working???????

check-check

Detroit Rock City | 3/31/2007, 9:59 pm EST

Maroon 5 = LAME
Beyonce = LAME
RollingStone = LAME AS HELL

PiscesAppleDude | 3/31/2007, 6:33 pm EST

Except for Public Enemy
and Prince and Guns n Roses…
sorry.. (meth rush)…

PiscesAppleDude | 3/31/2007, 4:40 pm EST

jealous? KCV, he spit on it because Sting is a pompous ASS.
Man, I hawked a luggie on a dude in a bar in ‘82…Can ya get more symbolic??? I think he’s still pissed.
“I wish I could be like Gordon Sumner”….

PiscesAppleDude | 3/31/2007, 4:35 pm EST

Daz..that list is the EXACT PROOF ANYONE NEEDS THAT MUSIC WAS CAT LITTER during the era you are promoting… I categorically deny any of those groups amount to a pile of Ostrich Turds.
Luckily for the sanity of all man- (and woman)kind, there were parallel universes where we could hide out and await the arrival of right now. SEEK HELP.

Jake Burns | 3/31/2007, 3:17 pm EST

Sting’s atwat, Weller is a god.

Daz the Manc | 3/31/2007, 2:12 pm EST

How can anyone say music regressed in the 80s?
The Smiths,New Order,The Cure,Echo and The Bunnymen,Guns and Roses,Public Enemy,Soul II Soul,The Stone Roses,Prince.Dont tell me that whatever you are into now was not inspired by any of these acts from the 80s

zentropa | 3/31/2007, 1:53 pm EST

Hey bp I guess you missed the 6.04 A.M. log-in regarding Peter RoboCop Weller. Now who is the douche?

the bare necessities | 3/31/2007, 12:03 pm EST

hahahah
maroon 5’s new song is exactly the type of music that you’d hear in an airport, cheesy, feel good, and longing for better times.

bp | 3/31/2007, 11:20 am EST

hey, douches: Robocop = PETER Weller, not Paul Weller.

Luke | 3/31/2007, 10:39 am EST

Maroon 5 and Fall Out Boy need to be included in a new genre: Post-Boy Band, cause thats exactly what they sound like (boy bands)

Dave | 3/31/2007, 10:08 am EST

Are the covering a Gwen Stefani song?

Marty P. | 3/31/2007, 9:56 am EST

Paul Weller is not as cool as Paul Stanley.

STRATCAT | 3/31/2007, 8:16 am EST

Paul Weller is the Genius tunesmith of the great british punk band the Jam.
People stop listening to your Black eyed peas and put on some great music that contains substance.
Good place to start: All Mod Cons or if ya want a collection then go for Gold.

zentropa | 3/31/2007, 6:04 am EST

Peter Weller is Robo-Cop and currently lives in Rhode Island I hope the cleanup crew at R.A.Hall are wearing plastic. Bad day or Bad Life?

flynnie | 3/30/2007, 11:21 pm EST

Is Paul Weller the guy from RoboCop?

kcv | 3/30/2007, 8:13 pm EST

FLEETWOOD MAC laboured over their records, but those are some of the greatest pop records ever made. those 5 studio lp’s w/ buckingham and nicks between 1975 and 1987 are pop bliss.

kcv | 3/30/2007, 8:12 pm EST

who’s paul weller? i find that sad. he’s been a musical icon for like 30 years….i wish people who loved music were more up on their musical history….that was kinda cold though-sting is a great singer and songwriter. maybe he’s jealous he’s had so much success in the US?

TPG | 3/30/2007, 7:51 pm EST

Who’s Paul Weller??????

Donald | 3/30/2007, 7:01 pm EST

Does this mean that Paul Weller won’t be attending any Police shows?

Spencer | 3/30/2007, 5:30 pm EST

Long live the Modfather!

Michael | 3/30/2007, 4:55 pm EST

John :
“the 80’s a time period in which music regressed”

My god! Are you living under a rock?

Any song from the 80’s sounds so cool in this era of rock wannabes, plus the 90’s din’t help much etiher, you must be one of those depressed grunge fans.

Wake up! Is good to be happy.

John | 3/30/2007, 4:24 pm EST

This video sounds like something out of the 1980’s and let me tell that is a time period in which music regressed

Lado | 3/30/2007, 3:51 pm EST

Oh, poor Sting. Will he ever recover? Maybe he’ll take a dip in his pool of hundred dollar bills to recuperate. Poof.

Epic | 3/30/2007, 3:30 pm EST

This is a stupid video and Weller should grow up.

Jacob | 3/30/2007, 3:29 pm EST

why wont maroon 5 GO AWAY?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Anthony | 3/30/2007, 3:05 pm EST

Fleetwood Mac had nothing to do with, the guys who write this column can’t read. They simply said they are being anal and perfectionists LIKE Fleetwood Mac.

See the difference?

B P | 3/30/2007, 2:50 pm EST

nice song, that maroon 5 sure know what good music is. You can really hear Fleetwood Mac(as perviously hinted at by those guys)

Richard | 3/30/2007, 2:39 pm EST

I love Weller, but that’s just stupid.

Grow up already.
