2011/09/07 Things n' Stuff
hello folks - as the weezer gang gears up for this coming Sunday's show at the Doheny Days Festival in Dana point, CA, its high time for a mid week pause for some announcements and reminders.
...first of all, stay tuned for a fresh round of Weezer Cruise announcements, as the details on all the myriad and sundry activities we'll be having on the boat is being finalized shortly. We've got some really cool stuff planned that takes it far beyond "just" a 4 day luxury cruise from Miami to Cozumel and back with Weezer playing 3 shows, plus Dinosaur Jr., Ozma, and a huge pile of other great bands playing too. There will be so much stuff going on on that giant boat, you wont have time to eat your (all included) food and beverages or sleep in the cabins!
...From the desk of Scott Shriner comes news of a new thing that his wife Jillian has going: shes written a new book - a novel called "Pretty" - and its available right now! And Scott recorded some new music for the book's promotional trailer, which you can view here on YouTube. The video was directed by Aaron Nardi. Watch, listen, read!
And TONIGHT in Los Angeles: Jillian is having a release party for "Pretty" at Book Soup in West Hollywood, at 7PM. Scott will be there by her side, wearing a rock tuxedo!
 
...a reminder that"Muppets: The Green Album", an album of covers of classic Muppets tracks is available now, and features weezer with Paramore's Hayley Williams covering "Rainbow Connection" in a dreamy, melancholy style. Preview the album here.
...weezer tribute band alert!

Show: Blue album memories style show, all acoustic

weezer 9/6/24, the Voyage To The Blue Planet touched down at @allstatearenarosemont in Chicago, which was full to the rafters with the kind of people we love to see - stoked weezer fans! What a fun night! Thank you to our buddies in @dinosaurjr and the @flaminglips, its so great to be on the road with some of our heroes! And a huge thank you to our gifted crew, for putting together the massive jigsaw puzzle known as the show everyday, making it work flawlessly, and then getting it all to the next town! #vttbp #karlscorner

...MB '05 Tour: Day 82: Foozer/Wee Fighters #1: Atlanta, GA - Gwinnett Arena
A 10,000 person freakout! We rolled into the G A with a combo of stoke and nervousness, the first Foozer show! There is a lot of familiarity on this one, between various band members who know each other, to crew who have worked together before, to Foo crew who were actually on a weezer crew before, and vice versa. So there was a lot of old faces and it was cool.
Come showtime, all of our eyes were on the audience (whose eyes were on the stage) to see what exactly they would do. Was it a equal blend of loyal fans? Or were the majority "fans of both" as we hoped? While reports from some fans indicated "pockets" of diehards one way or the other, the majority apparently (and thankfully) turned out to be pretty stoked to see both bands. The attendance was very strong, about 10,000, which is a great early indicator in a year where many tours have been having trouble filling all the seats.
The crews - weezer, foo, and 'universal' (shared) put in herculean hours and effort over the last 48 hours to make everything happen, as they had to squeeze a 2 day production rehearsal (that probably could have used 3 days) into just 1 day. Kudos to them for having the energy and patience to forgo sleep and deal with the numerous issues that came up in the initial "merging" of the Foo and Weezer worlds on stage. Now that the machine is rolling, the tech stuff should get smoother and smoother.
The first American weez audience since July was suprised to see some of the hot new styles and mad techniques that were developed over the August oveseas shows, and their reaction was great!
Opener Mae did a great job, and we have just been informed that they will be playing the rest of the first leg, thru the 3 Texas shows.
Big ups to Zack from Atlanta for helping out on stage and to the SFS-Kimbeam Krew for parking lot gifts that will go a long way!
Before the show, the band taped an interview with Mtv News. We dont have word yet on when this will air so keep your eyes peeled, and if I get the info it will go up here.

The current tour merchandise can be seen .
(updated 9/8/05).
*LAST MINUTE INFO: Hey everybody, theres been a last minute change! Tune in to The Late Show with Dave Letterman TONIGHT, (NOT tomorrow as originally scheduled), to see Weezer's performance that was taped on Monday in NYC.
Note that the weezer performance will be archived on The Late Show website for about 1 week, we think starting on Monday. Also, the "Gimmie Gimmie" vocals were again handled by the same person who sang them on "Make Beleive" (and the Hard Rock Live performance), Stephanie Eitel, who the band met during the recording of the album via Phantom Planet connections.

...Lawrence, Kansas. A cool town, a cool club, a cool show! (well, not cool temperature-wise..) I write this afterwards, as the club has strangely altered into some sort of disco temple...not so cool...The dual BMX assault of Mikey and Pat continued today, and even I had a chance to explore a bit of Lawrence.
...Yesterday before the show the guys watched the MTV Video Music Awards, and weren't too thrilled. Rivers commented that its probably due to the fact that they werent participating nor playing in them. Maybe next year! ...So what do you think of the Video Music Awards? Cool? Lame? Did anybody good (in your opinion) perform or appear? email us and let us know!
...A pretty cool thing seems to be happening at many of these shows...fans are bringing acoustic guitars and leading weezer song sing-a-longs while waiting in line. yeah!
...well, I finally got to my e-mails, and wow, the Napster response was overwhelming! I'm still catching up and passing along the comments to the band. Thank you for all your responses!

...MB '05 Tour: Day 83: travel/day off - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Today we woke up on the busses, which were still rolling from Atlanta towards Fort Lauderdale, where we are spending the rest of the day off. A little tropical sun and muggy air never did anyone much harm, and theres no reason not to take a walk on a beach if you can get to one.
The Foo Fighters spent their day up in NYC, as they were invited to participate in the "Shelter From The Storm" telethon thing for the Hurricane Katrina victims. (They did CCR's "Born On The Bayou" if I'm not mistaken). In light of the devastation in the Gulf Coast, a special reminder that the best and most efficient way to get aid to the needy is a cash donation. If you arent sure where to donate, The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army are widely held to be two of the best organized and most effective relief organizations. Our thoughts are with those who have lost so much and are enduring such hardship.
...Tour update: There will in fact be no show in Columbus, Ohio, (very sorry, no idea why it worked out like this) and the unknown show on 10/11 or 10/12 will apparently be in the Connecticut area. More info on that and other currently unconfirmed dates asap.
...The "We Are All On Drugs" video has risen on the MuchMusic Countdown from #27 to #22 this week!
...Weezer's "El Scorcho" video is featured on the new Mark Romaneck Directors Label DVD Vol.4, which is one of 4 new DVDs in the series that kicked off with last year's Spike Jonze DVD. Get a glimpse into the creative direction behind the video (Director's Cut) with commentary from Rivers and Brian.
...The remaining Hard Rock Live performance (taped in Orlando on July 17) air times:
rest of hard rock lives:

500px|09/09/08 Troublemaker Tour Show 1: Nagoya 
...Folks, we've now got a whole new online store, full of all new merchandise, and its up now! Take a look!
...Meanwhile, the Troublemaker Tour (as I like to call it, because a ruckus is being raised on multi-levels) has officially kicked off tonight at Nagoya's Aichi Kinro Kaikan theater. Results: Big Rock - and a learning experience as well. Its been a long time since weezer has played any full-on rock shows, and no one really knew how rehearsals would translate to a live show. Like on all tours, the first show was loud and fun, but also we have learned a lot right from the get go, and now its time to go over the playbook and batten down the hatches. Thanks to the great Nagoya crowd, and many thanks to the brave Nagoya Hootenanners who came in with very little notice and did their best to do something thats virtually unheard of in Japan - interact with the band!

Ok, sorry about the confusion the other day - yes, "Jersey Shore" airs TODAY, and thus the "Memories" video premiere is TODAY, (Thurs 9/9) during "Jersey Shore" on Mtv.

Stunts, singing, skating, sketchiness, super 8, this video has got it all!
Today, all day, the band is in a studio in L.A., recording some songs old and new for the Red Bull tv station that plays in Europe as well as some additional songs old and new for the US Red Bull website. While they are in the studio all day, the guys are also recording audio for Weezer's Alt Nation weekend this weekend on Sirius XM Radio, as well as recording a special thang for Funny Or Die. Never a dull moment...

...REMINDER: "Hurley" will be released on 9/14, but you can hear it and get a hold of it 4 days early on Friday Sept 10 at all PacSun locations in the USA and Puerto Rico.
The listening parties start at 6PM. The stores will be playing the album in its entirety, with special commentary by the band added for your edification and enjoyment. Then you will be able to buy the album, plus some new limited edition Weezer threads.

weezer 9/8/24 The Voyage To The Blue Planet took off to the Great White North, specifically the mighty Toronto, where the weez has been a treasured fave for decades!

...Austin, TX. A big outdoor festival show today at the Auditorium Shores dust bowl. Also appearing were such hip-hoppy acts as Everlast, the Kottonmouth Kings, and Cypress Hill. Weezer held their own against these aggro groups, pulling in at least as much crowd noise if not more! Also, the guys went to an autograph signing booth after their set. A huge line of over 1500 kids quickly lined up for autographs! The guys stayed and signed EVERY ONE, signing through the entirety of Everlast's and Cypress Hill's sets! after 3 hours of writing their names and greeting happy fans, the guys scoured the town in search of much needed food.
...More mpegs are on the way, hopefully to be posted later tonight. At least the missing channel 12 news one.
...Please note: I once again have access to the karl@weezer.net address, so please go back to sending emails there. If anyone is gifted with troubleshooting outlook express, let me know, im having a problem sending emails. (I can recieve your emails just fine, but I'll still have to respond w/ the karlophone@hotmail.com account for now...)

...Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cain's Ballroom, a place that's been doing honky-tonks since 1924. ...not to mention the Sex Pistols in 1978!......And weezer gave them quite a honky tonk! Cain's is another "furnace" room, which somehow collects heat and amplifies it, much like the guitars are amplified. Hot!
...Speaking of amplification, the guys have been commenting that the audiences have been screaming and singing along SO LOUD recently that two things have been happening: #1, they cant hear their amplifiers, often getting confused as to where thery are in the song! and #2, when they occasionally forget what lyric is next, the crowd helps out by singing along perfectly. 
9/9/2000
...After the show tonight the band was immortalized in concrete, with handprints, signatures, drumstick and guitar picks. Cain's is apparently preparing their own "walk of rock fame" and asks certain touring acts to participate. I shot some images of this process, and will post them in this space as soon as I have a chance to capture and upload them.
...Speaking of uploading, sorry the Only In Dreams Chicago mpeg link was no good, I've corrected the problem now over at the WFO page.

...summer recording session, day 39. Rivers worked on various overdubs in the AM and then Rivers and Scott laid down new music over an existing drum track in an effort to re-work a song thats been feeling too stiff. Then the fun part: while Rivers sang the song's lead vocal in one room, Scott, Brian, Pat and I did the back up 'gang' vocals in another room. Then there was a short break after which we did handclaps on the song. Fun times. Will this stuff survive to the final product? Time will tell.
