Weezer's eighth album, Hurley, drops today, and the band is marking the occasion (with help from marketing firm DashGo) by jumping into a bevy of other people's YouTube channels, including: AutoTune The News, Cyr1216, DaveDays, Fred, Hot For Words, Keep The Heat, MagicHugs, Mystery Guitar Man, Onision, Ray William Johnson, Real Annoying Orange, StSanders aka Kiss Shreds, Tay Zonday, The Key of Awesome (below) and UsofAnderson. YouTube is apparently Weezer's advertising medium of choice now.
