Leaks: Weezer, Oasis

You've probably heard "Pork and Beans" by now, but Stereogum has four more songs from Weezer's forthcoming Red album, out in late June. The first track is all over the map, but has a Pinkerton flair, the second and third are better than anything off of Maladroit or Make Believe (except maybe "Perfect Situation" and "Keep Fishin'"), and the fourth one is sung by Brian Bell... who knew he had a great voice?

Stereogum has also got three leaked demoes from Oasis, who have been in Los Angeles working on a new album. Internet chatter suggests these may be leftovers from the Don't Believe the Truth sessions; regardless, a new Oasis album is supposedly going to be out in September.
Hey, remember when Oasis was the biggest band in the world? I sure do; had a giant poster on the wall of my dorm room. Then Noel wrote Be Here Now while hopped up on cocaine, and it all fell apart. You can now purchase that album for 12 cents on Amazon.
