In preparation for what will no doubt be a sumptuous main course of a video, we humbly offer this appetizer to Rise Against's video for their third single from their Appeal To Reason album, "Savior." Little can be gathered from this brief glimpse. The video, directed by alt-rock auteur Kevin Kerslake (Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins) is divided into two parts: a performance by Rise Against lit merely by flares, and sub-plot featuring someone dressed as a polar bear.

We can only hope that the video culminates with the polar bear man meeting up with the guy dressed as the disco mutt from Daft Punk's "Da Funk" video. The full video for "Savior" premieres Monday.

Does it mean I'm a real adult if the name "Rock The Deuce" has stopped making me giggle but continues to take my mind to the gutter, calmly and objectively? "Rock The Deuce," my inner monologue goes, "I guess that means 'Poop... Awesomely.' Okay." Am I a grown-up? Probably not. There's no way this tangent will make it past Tamar.

Something tells me that the humor in that title -- "Rock The Deuce" -- isn't lost on New Found Glory, who recently hosted the show. Among other things, the chronically self-deprecating smart-asses declare themselves superheroes, show off a customized Snuggie that Haley from Paramore sent them and go on about the hotness of her bandmate Josh (sound familiar?). How can a band so sarcastic not be thinking to themselves, "Hmmm... deuce...?"

But it's not all jokes. There comes a time in every episode of "Rock The Deuce" when a band gets down to business. In this edition, New Found Glory get serious about the literal physical pain of shooting their most recent video, "Listen To Your Friends." They also take a moment to show off their ringtones and list a few of their favorite new bands (e.g. Trapped Under Ice, Fireworks, Wolves In The Throne Room, Tombs and Matt & Kim).

Finally, New Found Glory get down to what "Rock The Deuce" is all about and play their favorite new videos. Among them: Rise Against, My Chemical Romance, Lil Wayne, Mastodon and -- don't judge -- New Found Glory! Stream the entire New Found Glory episode of "Rock The Deuce" below. And please, don't think too much about what it might mean.

Windy City screamers Rise Against know that the abrupt end of that epic, two-year political season we just went through has left a lot of people high and dry. On top of that -- no matter what side you're on -- with Bush out of office, it seems that America's having a hard time finding anything to laugh at or be mad about. Have you seen Yes Man??? That movie is not funny!

Rise Against's new video, "Audience Of One," isn't funny either. At all. "Audience Of One" takes place in a military nightmare version of a kid's basement train set. The smoke from his blown-out birthday candles billows out over a scene of tank-lined streets, closed-down clinics, flooded suburbs and funerals on the White House lawn. The not-so-subtle implication here is that previous U.S. administrations have left children of the future the worst imaginable birthday present. War, depression, poverty... The list goes on. Watch it, and if you're still bummed out, try washing it down with a scoop of Yes Pecan!
