Office debate is raging over whether Weekend's new album Sports (Slumberland, Nov 9th) is better than Huey Lewis & The News' Sports (a major label, sometime in 1983). Obviously, there is no right answer because they are both classics, but at the moment, we would rather listen to Weekend's thousand yard gaze and suburban ennui than Huey's beer gut funk. Could just be the weather, though. Fortunately for Weekend, you can picture the ennui in this new video (via Pitchfork) and here the gaze at NPR for another few days while they stream the record. Weekend is also touring the US this month after a show tonight in Vancouver, which is Canada. Check the dates after the jump.
