...Today the guys got back in the recording studio, this time at a big-time studio they used while making the Green Album last winter. The plan, as summed up by Rivers, was to "record until we all fall over". There were a few songs from the recent "SH" sessions that didnt quite feel right, so they tackled them all over again, to try and capture them better. The guys have really grown some extremely critical ears, noting the slightest errors and trying to go back and get it better all day. These recordings sound tight and beautiful. At this point, they do not have any vocals on them, or guitar overdubs (where the solos and extra bits are added), but the plan is to wrap these sesions up before the Extended Midget Tour starts, and end up with an albums worth of pro recordings. Tomorrow we return here to continue the work.
...thanks to Rob H., Joe S., Nick L., and Kieth for the html heads-ups!
...and don't forget to help "The Monkey" from the "Island In The Sun" video win "Best Actor" in this years VH1 awards! vote here (..."I did it all for the monkey (woo) the monkey (woo)"...oh, man...)

Yes yes, the presidential election... But here's the REALLY important vote!!! "Pork And Beans" is in the FuseTV Best Video of 2008 Tournament Bracket, and we need YOUR votes to take this video to the top! Voting on the first round ends next Monday 11/10 at midnight - we must take Staind down! As of Tuesday night, they are winning our matchup! Aaaaa! Don't let it happen! Remember, "Pork And Beans" got snubbed at the Mtv Video Awards - so now its up to you to use FuseTV to show the world what's what...
...Coming Nov 25, "Alone II" by Rivers Cuomo. Video coming soon! And another special announcement!
...On 11/2, Weezer got a mention in the "King Of The Hill" show. It was good to know that Hank Hill said "What's Weezer?". It wouldnt have made sense if he was familiar with the band!
...For the record (heh) here are the 5 Guinness Book of World Records Records that were broken at the Troublemaker video shoot on 8/21/08:
Largest Air Guitar Ensemble: The largest air guitar ensemble consisted of 233 participants and took place during during the filming of the music video "Troublemaker" by the band Weezer in Los Angeles, California, USA on 21 August 2008.
Largest Game of Dodgeball: The largest game of dodgeball consisted of two teams of 50 people (100 total) who played against each other during the filming of the music video "Troublemaker" by the band Weezer in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 21 August 2008.
Longest Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon: The longest Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon lasted for 10 hr 12 min 54 sec during the filming of the music video "Troublemaker" by the band Weezer in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 21 August 2008.
Most People in a Custard Pie Fight: The most people in a custard pie fight was 120 during the filming of the music video "Troublemaker" by the band Weezer in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 21 August 2008.
Most People Riding on a Skateboard: The most people riding on a skateboard is 22 during the filming of the music video "Troublemaker" by the band Weezer in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 21 August 2008.
There were also many Weezer World Records broken, like smallest drum kit in a video and world's largest logo made of nachos. But I was originally told the record for most guitars smashed in a video was a Guinness record, not just a weezer record. So who knows what happened there.

...note: see =rwa= news for Reverb HBO show info and a new date just confirmed in Baltimore on 12/9!
...day off. Brian and I went vinyl record shopping. Brian found the Sesame Street original cast album (including the singalong book), plus Stormtooprs Of Death and the "Rat Music For Rat People" comp. I found "Word Jazz", a "Kojak" childrens story record, and "Right On Be Free" by The Voices of East Harlem. Dusty cuts indeed.
...In the latest free issue of SoCal's Meanstreet weekly music mag (Lit on the cover), there is a small article on... well, me. Weezer fan Christina Han conducted a short interview with me back during the Midget Tour regarding what I do for the band and such, and got the article published! Way to go Christina! However, Meanstreet heavily edited and shortened the piece, so its actually not very informative now. So, the full unedited story will be added to weezer.com pretty soon, probably linked to my little profile in the "staff bios" section, which needs a serious overhaul anyway, as we've gotten a bunch of recent crew personnel changes.
...several fans have asked me to help them spread the word about the grass roots "International Weezer T-Shirt Day", on Friday, November 9th. Details are in various threads on the message board, but the basic idea is for every fan to wear their weez shirt that day to make the rest of the world get with it. right on! 
...Gleep Wurp, the Eyebiter...

*** UPDATE - THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT ***
People, here's a major announcement pertaining to the upcoming 11/25 release of Rivers Cuomo's "Alone II"... anyone near SoCal on 11/25 needs to check this out right now!
Here's the word from Fingerprints Records, Long Beach, CA:
Fingerprints is ecstatic to announce an album release event straight from the imagination of Rivers Cuomo. It's a bit different for us, so read all the way through, including the details at the bottom about how you can join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event. 
Rivers talked about the event in a recent interview with Pitchfork... here's how he explained what will be happening on our humble little stage on Tuesday, November 25th:
"I am doing a really cool event to promote Alone II on the day of release. It's basically another Hootenanny, but it's a little different. Anyone can be a part of it, you don't have to bring an instrument. But if you do bring an instrument, you will be part of the team that gets to pick the songs we play. It can be any song, in some cases, it might just be one person who says, like, "Oh! Let's play this obscure B-side!", and he may be the only person in the room who knows it, besides me, and then it will just be me and that person giving a concert to the rest of the room. And then the next song, there might be 20 people who know it. So that will be a very dynamic event and very fun for me. And I won't have to bring a guitar [laughs]." - Rivers Cuomo 
We will be opening the guest list at 11:00am on Thursday, November 6th. The list will be open to people that pre-order Rivers' new album, Alone II: The Home Recordings , with a limit of two spots per person. We are looking for both musicians and non-musicians and will be managing the list to make sure we have enough of both, please don't buffalo us by saying you'll play if you won't. Space will be more limited than usual, as we're leaving a bit of extra room to move around with instruments. 
** Please note that we will be accepting RSVP pre- orders for this performance via phone (562.433.4996) and in-person, but purchasing through the website will not get you in to see the performance. 
...And don't forget to vote for "Pork And Beans" in the Best Video of 2008 Tournament Bracket! We need YOUR votes to take this video to the top! Voting on the first round ends next Monday 11/10 at midnight - we must take Staind down! Remember, "Pork And Beans" got snubbed at the Mtv Video Awards - so now its up to you to use FuseTV to show the world what's what...
...The NME Cool List 2008 has Rivers/Weezer at #31. Cool.

This evening as the first of 3 SoCal area instore singing sessions with Weezer, as we welcome their 7th album "Raditude" into the world. Today's signing was at the Hot Topic store in the Hollywood and Highland Mall, next door to the Kodak Theater and the Knitting Factory. There was a huge turn out, but Hot Topic was careful to set limits so that everyone in line could say hi to the band and get their item signed in the time alotted. Prior to the signing, the guys did an interview with a video crew from HotTopic.com, in which the new album was discussed as well as some rather goofy stuff.
Basically everything went really well, and a lot of people walked away with everything from copies of Raditude, to guitars, to old ticket stubs, to bizarre demonic wall plaques, to strange pictures, to t-shirts, to broken ukeleles, to intact ukeleles, and everything in beween signed by the band. If you can make it into the signings in Irvine tomorrow or Chino on Saturday, dont miss out! Here's the details:
Friday, Nov 6, 2009: 6pm - 8pm 
In Store Signing @ Tilly's 
Irvine Spectrum 
Irvine, CA
Saturday, Nov 7, 2009: 7pm - 9pm

..hello everyone, I'm sorry the last few days were so quiet around here, but it looks like we are back for the attack now. If you spot any missing pictures or bad links, please let me know...
...The weez men have been plugging away, same as before, adding a new song to the repertoire almost every day... I have been shooting special extra footage for the Yahoo! tour promotion website, today for example I followed Brian around after practice, as he went to do his laundry... I'm getting a lot of footage, so I'm sure i can pop up a few little bits here and there without spoiling the Yahoo stuff later on...
...strangeness on the Interscope/Geffen front: We found out, almost by accident, that they actually haven't given their official approval for the guys to start the record. The guys polished up a BEAUTIFUL 5 song demo the other day, that we knew was being given to the "higher-ups" at Interscope. But we caught wind that the "higher-ups" were considering this demo a "test"....Its a darn good thing the guys worked so hard on this latest tape! If the bigwigs can't hear the awesomeness of these new songs with this tape, then they simply arent listening. We shall see! ...As far as I know, the recording schedule is still set to go (and will be announced as soon as I am allowed to!)

Karl's Corner - 11/06/2001

...UPDATE: another Extended Midget show confirmed! Details will be on the Tour page soon, but heres the basics: 12/11 - Portland, ME - Cumberland County Civic Center....presale starts on Wednesday, November 7 at 5:00pm ET / 2:00pm PT, ends on Friday, November 9 at 11:00am ET / 8:00am PT.... regular on-sale starts on Friday, November 9 at 12:00pm ET (noon). This will be the first weezer show in Maine ever!! As usual, the presale password can be found at artistdirect.
...allright, the first of the 3 Special Goodness/AM Radio/Goat Punishment shows is now history. For the most part, everything went pretty smoothly and the loud rock n roll was enjoyed by all, but like most shows, there were a few minor glitches. The main 'glitch' was the Viper Room making a lot of the eager happy-to-pay customers wait and in some cases miss the show, as the club placated a rather large "VIP" list of people who were sort of Sunset Blvd scenesters more than fans of the bands in the room. We have taken steps to prevent this from happening again at Wednesdays and Thursdays shows, and we apologize to the group of true fans who never made it in tonight. Fortunately there are 2 more shows to go, but I would advise getting there a bit extra early, after seeing that huge line tonight!
For those who made it inside, they were treated to 3 rad sets! Pat Wilson's Special Goodness kicked it off with their heavy massive rock that just dont stop, Kevin Ridel's AM Radio turned in a beautiful 10 song set chock full of the good catchy stuff, and finally Goat Punishment took the stage for a set that was heavy on the brand new songs. Many songs in their set were the same ones theyve been working on in the studio recently, so they were tight as a drum! The crowd sounded like they loved the new material, which includes a fair amount of chunky semi-aggro rockers. Perhaps someone got a little recorder past the beefy security dudes and there can be some digital =gp= file sharing going on soon. In any event, I shot some video, and it looks like the next video clip I post will be a montage of Viper activity from all 3 nights. 
...random things to know:
1. Comedy Central will be re-showing the episode of SNL with Weezer on Saturday, Nov 10 at 11AM CST.
2. MTV2 in the UK is having a Weezer night starting at 9pm on Monday 12th of November. They are showing some clips of live Weezer shows to advertise for it, so we are hoping live footage will be shown on top of the regular videos.
3. Dallas weezer fans: Weener (Dallas's Weezer cover band) will be playing a show on Saturday Nov 24 at Trees in Dallas. This is just a week before the Ft. Worth "Extended Midget" tour stop, so it could be a fun "warm-up" show!

...Today after practice (during which another new X-mas song was learned, for still-mysterious reasons...) the guys went to check out a recording studio in Hollywood which recently opened up due to someone else's canceling... The guys liked what they saw, and it has the best chance of all the studios we've been looking at to house the recording of album #3...In its favor, the album that many consider to be the best in rock music history was made there... so its got that going for it, anyway.
...A lot of people have been clamoring to know what the names of the brand new songs are. Well, there are a large number of them, but I can tell you for sure the 5 that were on the demo we sent to Interscope/Geffen the other day... "No More Confusin'", "Sugar Booger", "Don't Let Go", "Ayleen", and "Cryin' And Lonely".
...for a glimpse of a song thats not any of those 5, go to the W.F.O. page, at the bottom youll find a new mpeg of the guys in rehersal...
...ALSO (late addition): i just added a second short clip of that new song, plus finally got the full size version of the "Clovis Inferno" clip up...

...Big props and kudos to the Viper Room and all its staff for going above and beyond the call of duty to make tonights experience a better one for the fans. They even went so far as to issue early tickets to some of the kids who showed up super early, so they could go get some food and walk around a bit and not have to worry about missing out on getting into the show! Most folks I talked to confirmed that the ticket line situation was a lot smoother, and fair treatment to all comers was the rule of thumb. ...Now thats big time football! Of course, having our Outloud Tour DJ (Handsome Jack) behind the bar tonight really kicked things into high gear as well.
...The mood on stage looked to me like one of increased confidence, relaxation and fun for all three bands, and several fans who made it to both last nights and tonights shows commented that they thought tonight sounded better and rocked a bit harder overall...(no mean feat considering the blistering pace set by last nights show.) Rivers introduced one song with "our record company rejected this song because they said it was too much like Lynyrd Skynyrd", to which the crowd responded with many cries to pay the record company no mind (only in much more colorful language!)

...weezer, by Wyatt (3) and Anna (4)...
...well, if you haven't checked out the online store in a while, you might want to take a look. Its been reformatted and has added several new items in recent weeks, including the 2003 calendar and some rad shirts.
...the new video clip "Crispen 'Em Up (Bok Choi)" is still only available in Real Player format for now. The downloadable Mpeg version will join it on the audio video page asap! Thanks for your patience.
...looks like Rivers will somehow be included in an upcoming VH1 "All Access" episode, but to what extent is unknown. The next show airs on VH1 On Monday Nov 11 at 8pm EST/7 CST. What info there is can be seen on VH1.com.
...well it had to happen sooner or later. After being used in the winning routine of the 2001 World Air Guitar Championships in Finland, "Hash Pipe" has now been spotted on "The Best Air Guitar Album In The World Ever", a compilation cd [available here.] Well, rock n' roll. 
The Lion And The Witch+ Keep Fishin' - the single 
...more sightings of the scarce US keep fishin cd single: Hot Topic, in the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
...Lion and Witch EPs spied at "CD world" in Bricktown, NJ
Australian action continues: "Keep Fishin'" came in at Number 8 on the Triple-J Net 50 last night, its 9th week in the chart. Fans' online voting determines its position!
USA action: out of bounds: Chicago's 94.7 The Zone has had Keep Fishin' listed on its top 20 countdown for several months, and the song has suddenly vanished from the list, and out of the voting list as well. Countdown housecleaning?

...third night at the Viper Room, and tonight the joint was PACKED to the gills! Mucho thanks again to the Viper Room staff for going the extra mile for the fans tonight. I got the impression that they were working extra hard to get as many people in as they could, as there were a heck of a lot of happy campers in that room! When I pulled up I noticed the line at the door was easily the longest of the three nights, but later I didnt hear too many stories of people not being able to get in, so thats very cool. And once again, the Special Goodness, AM Radio and Goat Punishment seemed to be even more relaxed and stoked onstage, and the sets tonight were just dynamite. Several folks who got in to all 3 shows said that "tonight was definately the best". Amongst tonights attendees (besides the dense crowd of cool fans) were everyone from Johnny Knoxville to Ryan and Daniel of Ozma, so it was quite a night! 
"goat punishment". Here are some of the interesting things you can get by rearranging the letters:
a hot sun pigment, a tennis thug mop, tug-a-penis month, men put a hit song, septum in a thong, upon this magnet, pig snout anthem, spit on hung meat, a mosh pit gun net, shag me in nut pot.
