howdy folks - some news giblets to consider today:
...Thanks to the guys at GetGlue, we got some virtual stickers you can get by doing the check in thang. Check out the app page to get started. Instead of checking-into a place, check in to Weezer!
...The next show on the agenda is May 19th in Boston, at the B of A Pavilion. I hear tell that there are still some tickets available, but they wont last... so get in there, as this is likely the only Boston area show in 2011! I'll see you there!
...Weezer tribute band alerts!
1. Denver's weezer cover band, The Flying W's, will be playing their first show, performing the blue album on Sat. 5/7 at Lion's Lair in Denver, CO. with Cobalt Cranes and Feral Faucet. 9pm, 21+, $5 at the door.
2. Atlanta's mighty El Scorcho returns June 3rd at Atlanta's Hard Rock Cafe "doing a full set of Weezer tunes from past and present, plus suprises", with Soaked In Bleach (Nirvana Tribute) opening the show. All-ages.
...last summer, Weezer played a rock show at the U of Maryland, and the rad college radio station there, WMUC, invited me (karl) over to their vinyl packed station studio for a rambling and fun interview / free form DJ "set" and round table discussion before the show. WMUC and its staff to me felt exactly like what radio should be - all about the music and a near total lack of rules and restrictions. Now WMUC is in serious financial trouble due to nasty mis-directed budget slashing. Check out the whole story here and consider helping them out, they are cool.

...holy cats, its cold, wet and windy in Boston! We rolled in mid morning after an all night drive from Toronto. The border guys were extra nice to us and we made it over the bridge without delay. There was a plan to catch the Red Sox game today, compliments of the Red Sox organization, but the game was of course cancelled with the wicked and decidedly un-springlike weather. Venturing out did occur in spite of this, at least by Brian and Scott plus myself and various crew, all seen entering and exiting the lobby of the hotel at least once today. Pat actually stayed behind in Upstate New York to visit family on the day off, but we will see him again tomorrow.
...Make Believe is busting out all over. Today reports from both Ireland and Australia, the latest 'early' release locations on the international front. These early releases are apparently done to protect the local markets from being flooded by import editions of the album, which are costlier to the fan, and costly to the local domestic record label. With the album on the street sooner, it discourages retailers from ordering too much of the import version. Or so the theory goes.
Also, some reviews of the album are starting to turn up. The new Rolling Stone mag (Orlando Bloom on the cover?) has a 4 star review, while the UK's Q gave it a 4 out of 5 and The NME was dismissive with a 5/10. And now allmusic.com has chimed in.
...'Beverly Hills' muscled its way back into the iTunes top 10 this week at #9 (#3 Alternative.)
...review and photos of the San Francisco show on 4/29 are at Mish Mash Magazine.
...many have been asking 'whats on the horizon for weezer, beyond the June dates in Europe?'. The answer is "July dates in North America", including several key cities not visited in the current go-round. The currently confirmed dates are near the beginning and end of the run - Vegas on 7/2, and Chicago (Lollapalooza) on 7/23. Everything else is coming together and will be announced asap. And Beyond July? Well, we do have the Japan shows in August, and beyond that is still being sorted out, but we do know that most of the rest of 2005 will include weezer shows.
...a link to http://www.myspace.com/weezer weezers MySpace site] with the "Make Believe" album streams was seen on Thursday's "Hip Clicks" column on USAToday.com. Word is this link came about after a fan tipped off Hip Click's own Whitney Matheson, so dont think your pro-weez efforts are going unnoticed!
...finally, spotted in the 5/6 edition of the Boston Phoenix's show listings section, the listing for tomorrows Avalon gig: "AVALON, Boston. At 7 PM, Weezer, Ringside. At 10 PM, "Gay Night" house with DJ Darrin Friedman." So... it looks like theres something for everyone tomorrow at the Avalon.
...re-reminders: check out the 'Star Map' Player - hear tracks from "Make Believe" plus hear "Bake Melieve"! Spread the love! AND check out Weezer's MySpace page, for streaming audio of the WHOLE Make Believe album!

[a fan writes]"...A teenager from Derby, Kansas, just south of Wichita, was critically injured on the night the Witchita concert. His name is Zach Brown...[he] had a huge blast at the concert. He stayed in the pit throughout your whole set ...I saw him on the way out, and he looked like he had just had the time of his life--he even said about you guys: "Intense." I told him that it was going to be a sporty night as I hopped into my own car. That was about the last thing I've said to him that he probably understood. After dropping a girl off in Andover, he lost sight of the road in the storm and flew off of a highway entrance ramp and careened into the back of a semi, ripping the top off of his car. He is now in stable condition at Wesley Medical Center--with fluid in his lungs, swelling in his brain, and most of the bones in his face broken..." ...lets wish Zach all the best in his struggle- someone, start a thread on the message board to pass along our support!
...Dusty West Tour: Travel/Day Off: Albuquerque
Today was a day to relax (and catch up on work) in beautiful, mild weathered Albuquerque. The event of the day was going to see Spider-Man with Mr. Wilson. We both gave it 2 thumbs up, for a total of 4 thumbs.

...post show report: Today went pretty smoothly. The band was shuttled over to Indre Studios, where they were set up in a semicircle of old chairs and couches with Jim McGuinn. The interview and the fan call-ins were recorded, including breaks for the commercials and the songs to be played from Make Believe. They only had to re-do one or two moments where there was a tech error, for the most part everything was fine the first time around. It was a really comfortable experience, a testimony to the bands long time relationship with Jim and the other guys involved in putting on the show, and to the bands general level of confidence around the imminent release of Make Believe.

Note: This was the last of Karl's updates on weezer.net. The new website, weezer.com, launchend the same day (see below)
WEEZER.COM Re-Launch in effect!!! Explore! start here Please note the 5/10 entry below is the LAST post on the "old" karls corner! Check out and bookmark the new one, located at "news" on the new site. This here old page will come down as soon as all the archives have been copied over to the new page...Thanks for your patience as minor bugs and stuff are worked out!
...We went "live" today and it didnt take long for some mistakes to pop up. Thanks to all folks who wrote in the problems they saw. Everything in the list below should get fixed in the next few days.
• The text on this page is too small for certain browsers. (test, test...)
• The center divider thing on this page is supposed to be movable to the left and right, so you can view all of the side you want as needed.
• The message board is too slow, and kinda buggy (timeouts, etc)
• The links on the link page dont open up in new windows, and there are some glaring omissions there too (sorry weezerfans.com!)
also there are a bunch of things we have to catch up on, like getting my older posts listed in here, getting the "fannews" pages transfered over, getting the past karl mpegs up in A-V, getting the chat room functioning, etc. Thanks for your patience! 
...its official: weezer is NOT appearing on Jay Leno next week. They are definately doing the SNL show and the Conan show, but not Leno, at least when we had it listed.
...im getting some various "Photograph" and "Island In The Sun" radio reports mixed in with the Hash Pipe news, so the next radio report will be "the green album radio report, part 8" (coming up next, plus ive got some photos from the ill-fated Phoenix show.

...gotta say, its good to be back in the big apple! Over the years, Weezer has played everything from CBGB's to Madison Square Garden, and every visit is cool in its own way. This time brings the band back to what might be the all time coolest venue in the city, for its overall combo of history, medium-small size, good sound, and neat character - The Roseland Ballroom. The Roseland has seen it all over the years, from its origins as a real ballroom back in the old big band days to its present rock legacy, and has shrugged off numerous threats to its existance from an ever changing city. It may be 'small' for a band like weezer, but it feels like a perfect fit.
no reports of roughnecks stirring up trouble tonight, and a slightly less raucous crowd than at recent shows (its the 'NYC cool' factor at work, i think), but they were still plenty loud with the singalongs and some crowdsurfing to boot. A big whassup to 'dorkamania', and various friends and family who came out to see the guys rock, including a band member's mom! Always a special night when there's a weez mom in the house.
Setlist:
Tired Of Sex
In The Garage
No One Else
Pardon Me
Buddy Holly
Photograph
Hold Me
Getchoo
Say It Ain't So
We Are All On Drugs
Island In The Sun
My Name Is Jonas
Peace
Beverly Hills
Hash Pipe
Haunt You Every Day

...fan accounts (these are the first two I recieved (simultaneously) - please post your stories in the comments section for all to share)... "I just got back from being front row of weezer NYC, and what an awesome show! The guys sounded great, and each song was an incredible recapitulation of their best. Congratulations, weezer, on a great new album and shows equally as rocking. One reason why they put on such good shows is because you can tell those guys are into it, and believe in the music they're playing. I'm prouder than ever to be a weezer fan." ---Emy P. ....."The show was great. My friends and I fought our way up to the front. We got jostled around a lot and there was a guy who kept trying to rest his elbow on my head, but it was worth it to see Rivers up close during the solo of Hold Me and Haunt You Every Day, and Scott pullin' all his rock god poses. I'm going to be there for the 5/12 show too. I'm hoping maybe the guys will switch it up a little bit for the second night in town.." ---Will

...hi folks - Radio Weezer is launching a new thang today, and you or your band could be a part of it! Do you, your band, or your friend’s band play a Weezer cover? Radio Weezer is now looking for some fresh weezer covers to add into the rotation. So, if you have a song that you’d like to submit, send an MP3 along with your name and hometown to RadioWeezer@gmail.com. We’ll be picking out cool and unusual ones, and adding them into the mix regularly.
I took the liberty of pre-selecting some of my favorite weezer covers to get things started, which you'll be hearing me announce and play on the station starting today. Everything from the Moog Cookbook, Ash, and Dashboard Confessional, to Bide Ou Balde, Daniel Brummel, and Runnersdialzero/Lifetaker - in short, great covers from all walks of life and music. And yours could be added to the mix!

...Folks, staring tomorrow (5/12), you might think you're hearing Weezer covering The Cars' classic song "You Might Think" in the trailer for the upcoming film "Cars 2", due out this summer. And you would be right! Weezer's version of "You Might Think" is featured in the trailer and the film, and because Ric produced the Blue and Green records and the band are huge fans of the Cars, they were into the idea of covering the song.
Film: 6/24. Soundtrack: 6/14. stuff to watch:

People, due to popular demand and the intense reaction to the Pork And Beans single, the wait time for the new album has just been reduced! The album will now be in stores in the USA on JUNE 3RD! Here are the release dates (USA and International as known so far)...
USA - June 3rd
Canada – June 3rd
Japan – June 4th (subject to change)
Germany – June 6th (subject to change)
Australia – June 7th
International – June 9th
UK – June 9th – Digital only
UK – June 16th – Physical CD album release 
Pork And Beans Int'l Single (formats TBA) – June 16th
Pork And Beans UK Single (formats TBA) – June 23rd (to be confirmed)
Note - the Deluxe edition of the album will be digital only initially. Collectors and completists may have to wait a while for everything to be available non-digitally. More info on this as it becomes available. 
...Okay, so the 'Pork And Beans' video was shot from last Wednesday to Saturday, with director Matt Cullen and his amazing crew. Everybody involved did such a great job. Words are not really adequate to describe the things I saw those 4 fateful days. Suffice it to say that rules were broken and boundaries were pushed back! This video should be out sometime in the coming weeks. More details as they become available.
...Thanks to Meebo for a new Weezer branded chat room you can use on Weezer’s MySpace or Meebo.com!
...Plug 1: I saw The new film "The Dhamma Brothers" the other day at its L.A. premiere screening. This is the film that Rivers helped out with, about Vipassana meditation in an Alabama prison. Its a really beautiful film, so if you see a screening coming near you, be sure to check it out. It will be in DVD at some point too.
...Plug 2: Super long time weezer fan Justin H. has been making cool music of his own for some years now, and his band Zomo is releasing not one but two new albums. If you are into weezer, you'll probably dig this stuff!

...Hey folks, thanks for your helpful emails, pointing out the glitches. Superman Dan has gotten on the case and the problems are tumbling down one by one! Dan has been busting his ass for a solid week and has really done a good job with the big switch. And remember, the new message board's problems are not
Dan's fault. Theyre no one's fault. And we have decided that if it cant be made smooth and fast soon, we will take whatever actions necessary to make the message boards everything they once were and then some. For now bear with us and give the tech-folks a chance to work on it.
...Dont forget, this coming Saturday the 19th: Weezer on Saturday Night Live, with Christopher Walken hosting!
...the "Knock Down Camp Out" organizer reports that camp-outs will be occuring in 48 out of 50 US states and in several other countries too! No camp-outs in Montana and Wyoming?!
...The Green Album is out in Australia! Weezer fans have reported that there are 10 songs on the Australian version, just like the US version, so again this is contrary to what we thought we knew before. Hmmm. Besides Japan, who's getting bonus track(s)?
....In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, The Green Album was given a 4 star review!
...this was copied out of the Tower Records website. I'm not sure if this version or the version of events i posted yesterday (see below) is more accurate....
"5pm Weezer will be performing live! The first 325 people to purchase the CD on May 15th will receive a laminate that will allow them to enter the store for the performance that evening. An additional 250 people will receive a wristband allowing those fans to line up outside to meet the band after the performance. The band will stay to sign autographs after the performance."
...Today's show was in Tulsa. you said...
"...it was a great show except for when Mikey seemed to
intentionally ignore Rosemund... Oh well maybe he was having a bad day? its not my heart he hurt..."
...(???)
...tomorrow I head to LA to (finally) re-join the guys on the road! I guess the big event tomorrow is a live AOL chat with the band. I dont have details but hopefully Dan can get a link up on RWA news while im on the plane tomorrow morning....prepare yourself for some new pictures and new video clips!
