Karl's Corner - 10/01/2010 (b)

...Today the Weez folk are gathering in Las Vegas to play an unusual show at the Mirage casino/hotel, as part of the Rolling Stone Mag's Rock Star Weekend package. This show was announced in RS mag several weeks back (the one with Mad Men on the cover), in a special article that caught up with the band as they prepared to release "Hurley". Tonight's show is apparently a fairly exclusive poolside affair, rather intimate in size and exclusive in style. No matter what it will be an interesting and fun time for sure, a unique experience thats probably only possible in Las Vegas...
(later...)
Well, that was an odd one, but lots of fun. Turns out the Mirage has a series of outdoor pool areas, each one more secluded and exclusive than the last. The deepest layer is called "Bare" and its called that for a reason - normally its a topless 21+ pool! But tonight, the waitresses were covering up just enough to make the scene just 'bare'-ly family friendly. Also, they apparently put the stage directly over the actual pool, so it wasn't like anyone was swimming. But there was plenty of rocking going on. Weezer has a knack for stepping into the most un-weezer-ish environments and turning them around towards the path to weezness. Everything about this place was screaming exclusive nightclub, but the people got loose and goofy as the night went on, and Rivers kept everyone guessing by climbing all over the bars and sunbathing lounges, dumping buckets of ice on people and generally encouraging good healthy mayhem.
Tonight was the debut live performance by weezer of the "Hurley" track "Unspoken". Prior to the show, Rivers did a solo acoustic version of it for the Rolling Stone cameras, and you can watch that here.
The whole shebang was followed by an afterparty at a different Mirage club called Jet, which the guys paid a visit to after the show before jetting back to L.A. Thanks to Rolling Stone and the Mirage for a well done event and a fun night.

Karl's Corner - 10/02/2008

Back to sweet home Chicago! Tonights show at the O'Hare adjacent Allstate Arena was big rock as expected, though the vibe in the room felt a bit subdued for some odd reason. No real crowdsurfing going on, though the peeps were indeed loud! One never can tell how it's going to feel untill the lights and the gear is set up and the people are let in. The band delivered and the crowd cheered and sang along, though I couldnt help but feeling that Chicago wasnt quite the same as the last time through. Perhaps the Sox/Cubs matchup had people a bit distracted. Who knows, maybe it was just me? Oh wait, I know - it was the absence of Anuj, original Weezer.net webmaster (1995-1999) - usually he makes it to every Chicago area show, but was not able to make it down tonight. I'm tellin' ya, it had an effect! Anuj - missed ya buddy!
Also - to the post show Chi-town parking lot peeps - meant to chill with ya a bit, but somehow you dudes vanished by the time I got back outside?! Sorry about the delay.

New Webisode #11 "The Flame Of Desire" is now up exclusively on Weezer's Myspace Page! check it out!
RIVERS NEEDS YOUR STICKERS! Rivers needs to decorate his drum kit (the one on the side of the stage, not Pat's in the middle), and he wants stickers to do it. Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars; now - er, wait - I mean, years ago, Rivers asked for stickers for his guitar, and hundreds of you tossed envelopes loaded with crazy stickers onstage for days - his Stratocasters were quickly plastered! Can we count on you guys to come thru again? However you can get them to us works - if you see me (in the pit or elsewhere), pass 'em over - if youre close to the stage, toss em up there! Just write "Stickers for Rivers Drums" on the envelope! Thanks people!

weezer The #voyagetotheblueplanet headed westward, landing at the @bluearenafcu in Loveland, CO! The aptly named Blue Arena is a bit smaller than the typical arena, making for a slightly more intimate show, which was tons of fun! Thanks to our flight crew for keeping the thrusters aligned and fixing the shields, and our fam @flaminglips and @dinosaurjr, and all the fans who came out and filled the place up to the top! #vttbp #karlscorner

...A lot of folks have been demanding more of an explanation for why the Europe Tour has been postponed, and I do apologize for not explaining the situation in much detail, but I basically wasnt given much info. Its a very complex issue, of which some parts I might never know, but to sum it up in very simple terms: the record company decided weezer wasn't enough of a priority to fund the tour.
It may come as a suprise to some folks, but in almost every part of the world except North America and Japan, weezer is not (yet) at a level where they can tour "in the black", so they need the record company's help. In this case, they unexpectedly lost the support they needed, almost at the last minute. Without that support, there was no way to keep the tour operational.
One thing that seems to be forgotten by some folks is that no one in weezer WANTS to cancel or postpone a tour! Of course they feel terrible about it, and are very sorry. They were all getting ready to go when the news came through, and are just as angry and disappointed as you. As I said before, the band has had some awesome experiences over in Europe, and only wants to go over and have some more, as well as tour all over the world too. I know it seems like its taking forever, because it seems like its taking forever to us too. But we're all going to have to be patient a while longer for this. Rivers and the guys are in constant contact with the people they need to help make it happen, and beleive me, it will happen.

The Troublemaker Train arrived in the land of Charles Schulz ready to lay down the kind of show ol' Charlie probably wouldnt have liked too much, i.e. loud, wild, sweaty... all the essential ingredients of rocking out the way the Twin Cities do. The Xcel Energy Center has surely hosted some Snoopy On Ice-capades in the past. Snoopy On Ice is possibly the total opposite of a weezer show, although both surely stoke their audiences. Well, Snoopy is awesome, but I'm pretty sure he never had the nonstop crowdsurfing going on that Weezer had tonight! 
Hey by the way, I didnt mean to imply Chicago wasnt all that and a bag of chips, because it was. Somehow I guess I was expecting two bags of chips, like at Subway when you get the extra value meal and run out of chips before you've finished your sub. Well, it happens to me sometimes anyway.

...I've gotten some more detail as to why weezer didn't end up doing
Letteman this past Wednesday. Is seems as though everyone at the Letterman
show were eager for weezer to play the show, and everyone in weezer were (of
course!) eager to play the show. So what happened? We were wondering the
same thing, and finally learned that the Interscope publicity department,
who normally sets these things up, told both parties that the other wasn't
interested or ready to do the show. So Weezer had the impression that
Letterman couldnt do it, and vice versa. Everyone in the band is very
upset about this. The band is trying to set up another chance to do the show
as soon as possible, but they hope they aren't "shut down" again!
....oh yeah... earlybird special! [mp3]

...summer recording session, day 57. Last day at the current studio, last day for a while, but not the last day of Album 5 work. When exactly it will be resumed is still being worked out, but as noted before, it will probably not be done till after Rivers finishes his semester at school. Once whatever changes and final touches done at that point are finished, then its on to mixing, mastering, and getting the artwork sorted out (and ideas are already flowing in that regard.) All in all, this has been a highly productive and successful session, despite (or perhaps due to) the long behind the scenes work that was needed thru 2003 and the beginning of 2004 to really work out what exactly was going to be recorded and how. The recordings are really solid and everyone is feeling pretty good about what they've accomplished so far. So for now the gear has been packed up and the studio vacated. More to come.

...MB '05 Tour: Day 107: Foozer/Wee Fighters 12: Champaign, IL - Assembly Hall
You'd think that you wouldn't need an air conditioned hall in Illinois in October...and you'd be wrong! Hot steamy and muggy was the order of the day in the air conditioner-less and UFO-like Assembly Hall, which was smallish for an arena, sort of like SD's Cox but even more intimate feeling. And hot. And sweaty.
The fightin' Illini call this place home, and they have the fancy locker rooms to prove it. Said locker rooms doubled well as dressing rooms, proving that basketball players and musicians are more similar than either of them think. They both like fresh fruit and all natural peanut butter too.
Theres something about midwestern towns like Champaign. Colleges, farms, truckstops, drive thrus. When the sun starts to set on the flat horizon, it really feels like what it is: the middle of a huge country. Somehow I tend to get a better sense of the country here, like you can sorta feel 'the map' of the USA spreading out around you...or maybe it's just me.
The crowd tonight was kinda calm for the most part for the first 2/3 of the set, and finally came to life as the hits started piling up one after another as the set reached its peak. Still more rarely played songs rising out of the ether and joining the setlist. Todays show was sort of a more refined version of yesterdays, with the new risers and stairways working out well and the planning of the band and crew resulting in a tighter set, though not without a glitch or two - to be expected when things are getting modified daily of course.
Thanks to Matt, todays Undone helper. He seemed to bust out with some nice freestyle flamenco shredding but didnt really play the actual song the whole time... but he sure was stoked!
Big ups to Kyle C., the Champaign/Silverlake connection!

...THE BRACES ARE OFF! Well, it took longer than he thought, and he ended up touring with them on all summer, but at last, Rivers's "adult braces" are off, and he is ecstatic!
...I've gotten some emails from LA-area KROQ listeners who say they heard them announce something about weezer appearing on this year's annual "Kevin and Bean xmas album". The Kevin and Bean Xmas album has been a long tradition in LA, and generally is available around the city at various record shops a few weeks before Christmas. I personally havent gotten any confirmation on this one, and definately no details from within the band circles, so for now I leave it up to you guys to sort it out.
..a new question for y'all... "whats your opinion of Tenacious D?"

...MB '05 Tour: Day 108: Day off: Grand Rapids, MI - bowling night!
We rolled into Grand Rapids in the wee hours of the morning, and after a day of rest and such, the troops were gathered for a special treat. "The Troops" in this case were all members of the Foo, Weez, and Kaiser bands and crews who were so inclined. The mission: bowl, listen to classic rock on the jukebox, and eat pizza and 'mini tacos' till indigestion set in! The setting was upstairs at Wenger bowling alley, and the turn out was quite good, with most band members and many crew members making it down. The locals were pretty stoked, and there were some bowling pins and rental shoes getting autographed by the end of the night. Thanks to Gus and Stuart for sorting out an excellent fun time for all.

After a day for much travel from the heart of the midwest to the Rocky Mountain High land, we got down to the business of troublemaking again in Denver - or rather, way out in the apparently brand new suburb of Broomfield. Tonights show was a bit of a challenge due to a heavy bout of congestion that Rivers had to plow thru to sing. Somehow he did it, though I have no idea how - I chalk it up to pure determination to rock under any circumstances! As has been the case so far, we had another spirited crop of Hootenany folk up on stage tonight, and the temporarily expanded weezer got the whole arena to sing along at the top of their lungs.

Congratulations, guys!!!
...Rivers’s Sunday interview with Guy Raz for NPR’s “All Things Considered” is available on the NPR website now, see this page.
...Reminder: Video of Weezer performing four songs at the recent AXE Music One Night Only Show, here. That night was pretty magical. Weezer was so excited to play with My Chemical Romance and Kinky and Jorge ('Hurley'), it was such a fun show, Thanks to AXE Music for providing everything and helping make it all happen.
...Reminder: Head on over to blackcabsessions.com to see Rivers and Pat perform "Memories" in the infamous Black Cab. The Black Cab Sessions are a unique thing - they put you in a cab in London and start filming. Because of the small size of the cabs, usually only 1 or 2 band members can fit and play. they dont allow rehearsals or second trys - you just belt it out, and whatever happens happens, thats what they post up!
