Some clarification on the upcoming Mtv2 Keep Fishin' special, to air during their "All Access" week on July 14th: The 30 minute special is indeed an official "Making The Video" episode. That should give a better idea of what to expect.

Wild radio news of the week (or year, possibly!)
"...On my drive home I decided to tune into some rap music on the radio dial around 11:30pm (June 30, 2002). So as I tuned into the most popular rap station in Southern California; Power 106, whose slogan I must add is "Blazin the Most Hip Hop and R&B," I was unexpectedly hit with Weezer's 'Keep Fishin.' I was stunned to hear the weez on a hip hop station..." ---Greg from La Palma, California
