Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist could easily be the Juno of 2008. It has the makings of an indie comedy/romantic fun. Movie adaptation of a popular book, alterna-teens, and a great descriptions like - “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a comedy about two teens thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and, live, loud music.” How can we go wrong with that?

Michael Cera plays Nick, or the same character he always plays - a somewhat sweet and attractive, but overly awkward young Woody Allen type. Nick is a sensitive musician who finds a love interest in Norah (Kat Dennings). Norah plays life safe always, except for tonight of course when she cuts loose with Nick. (more…)

Keith Murray, frontman for WE ARE SCIENTISTS seems fresh with a new haircut for the band’s new video, “Impatience”. We’re thinking it’s to compensate for the massive amounts of hair bassist Chris Cain gets down with in the vid.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS have always taken their comedy very seriously. So it’s pretty much no surprise to anyone they will be making an appearance on VH1’s clip show, Best Week Ever. The band will be one of the commentators on the week probably dishing out some science and dropping some knowledge on the public.

The show debuts Friday, June 6th at 9pm and we’re more than positive there will be repeats all week long. Set The TiVo.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS have a definite obsession with animals. The artwork from their last album, With Love And Squalor showed the band (then a threesome) and their obsession with kitty-cats. Now it seems the band has turned their obsession to another one of our domesticated, four-legged friends, the dog.

Both videos from their upcoming album, Brain Thrust Mastery have dogs in the main theme of the videos. First we have a blind date with a dalmation on the video for “After Hours” and now the WAS boys are pomeranian wranglers in their latest video for “Chick Lit”.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS are putting the finishing touches on their new video, “Chick Lit” which is from their upcoming album Brain Thrust Mastery.

The video was shot in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland, where the band’s bassist Chris Cain said they filmed out of conveinece since their options were limited when trying to find a location that looked like the Old West.

You can peep photos here.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS’ new album Brain Thrust Mastery is definitely another one of our most anticipated releases of 2008. We have to wait a bit longer until the new album is released but in the meantime we can check out the album art which was just posted. And it looks like the guys had a bit too good a time on prom night.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS have been gearing of for their new album which is said to be delivered upon us John Q Public this March.

Since no one can wait until then, we have been pelted with the new video from the upcoming album. The video is for the song “After Hours” and shows the band (sans drummer) in their usual funny hijinks. So if you like blonde women, jokes, dogs, and We Are Scientists songs, this pretty much could be the best video you’ve ever seen.

WE ARE SCIENTIESTS have spent the last part of 2007 losing a durmmer, brain thrust mastering, and rocking faces at The Syndicate’s Conflict Of Interest Party. But they’ve also been working on a new album due out in the Spring of 2008. The band has been performing some of these new songs at shows an now some video clips of them performing 2 new tracks, “Dinosaur” and “Impatience” live at the Canal Room last week.

“Dinosaur”

“Impatience”

Oh yeah and they exchanged gifts for the holidays over at Stereogum.

UPDATE: Fresh on the heels of this announcement, the band has issed a statement saying that their drummer Michael Tapper has “relenquished his duties” as the drummer for the band in an effort to persue other things.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS are hitting the road in European this November. Some of the dates by themselves and some as the opening act for Kaiser Chiefs. In addition, they have launched something they are calling a “philanthropic effort” titled the Brain Thrust Mastery. We’re not exactly sure what it is, solo dates? informational seminars? it could be anyone’s guess. They created a website for it and launched an infomercial as well. Only time will tell.

This November and December, our neediest fans in the UK will be invited to reap the rewards of our latest philanthropic effort: BRAIN THRUST MASTERY, a free seminar design to help students take control of their lives, which are, let’s face it, likely crashing and burning as we speak. These limited engagements feature instruction in such proven techniques as “Mind Sound (TM),” “Time Vision Performance (TM),” and “Emotional Intuition Transfer (TM).”

Take instantaneous control of your physical, academic, sexual, medical, psychological, historical, emotional, intellectual, financial, theoretical, and automotive destiny with BRAIN THRUST MASTERY!!!

Dates for the tour and BTM can be seen after the jump. (more…)
