Their collaborative project, called "artist personal experience" (a.p.e.), will allow artists to produce their own 24-hour online radio stations.

The other day, I was in the car listening to "The Ghost of Virginia" by Justin Townes Earle. It's a very simple acoustic/banjo-based song about an old freight train in the South that hauled coal and transported soldiers "during the war." What happens a few seconds in?

Weezer sent an invitation out to fans through its e-mail list to be in the band's next music video.
