..MB '05 Tour: Day 122: "Perfect Situation" video shoot, day 2 of 2 - Downtown Los Angeles
Back on the scene again today, picking up right where we left off. While fatigue started to set in late in the day after days on end of insufficient sleep and long long hours of activity and travel day in and day out, everyone was buoyed by how pleasent it was to work on this video with such excellent people, and how good the footage is looking! By the time of the midnightish wrap after two 14+ hour days, the exhaustion was rampant but so was the sense that something excellent was accomplished. Thanks to Mark Webb, Elisha Cuthbert and the whole cast and crew, you rock. Can't wait to see how it comes together...

**UPDATE 2PM** Rivers has just now also shared the previously unreleased Pinkerton Deluxe track "Getting Up And Leaving", check out this thread on our forum to hear it!
...Folks, over on our message boards, Rivers has taken the liberty of sharing the track "Blowin' My Stack", from the upcoming release "Death To False Metal"! It's free and ripe for the digital plucking, on his "Treat #1" thread, here. Enjoy!
...we've got a funny new behind the scenes video from the "Memories" video shoot up now.

...congrats to the Jackass crew for their #1 opening this weekend at the box office for Jackass 3-D!
...congrats to the Jackass crew for their #1 opening this weekend at the box office for Jackass 3-D! This is the second time (thanks Hasief) for a movie with a weezer track in the soundtrack to debut at #1, and definitely a first for a movie that actually features weezer in the film (pay attention to the closing credits)!

...just got back from "Best In Show", what a fantastic movie! Anyway, scroll down to the next entry (10/17), with the February/March tourdates, because the list has been revised... (note that its still totally subject to change!!!)
...The DV video camera has finally croaked, fortunately we have the Good Guys service agreement, to get a replacement. So no new pix or video for a few till thats taken care of, sorry! ...good thing i got that "pedlar" video up, that was a story too important not to tell!! Well, though i cant show you any pics or video right now, I can tell you that the guys have dived right into a big batch of all new tracks, and are rehearsing every day in Rivers's garage. Right now I've actually lost track oh how many new ones I've heard in the last few days, and they are all really nice! (Yes, "Move It On" is one of them, if you were wondering, and no, there are no plans yet for what to do with the "not for KROQ" recording of it...thanks for your suggestions...)
As for the whole producer thing and all that, its still a wee bit too early to make an announcement yet, but major negotiations have been going on, and I'm sure the plan will be set and underway quite soon. It looks to me like the guys will be putting "new album" music on tape within a few weeks... In the meantime the guys just keep writing and practicing, with the material just getting better and better, and better!

...they knew what was up, but they weren't talking!... 
...can't escape the weez department:
Many people have written in tonight about something that [for once] I also saw. On tonight's episode of 'The Sopranos', "Island In The Sun" was heard during a scene in which characters Carmela and Adriana were working out at the gym. The song was in the background, as the gym music, but easy to hear to weez-trained ears. One fan adds: "I think it was a play on Adriana's complicated situation this season on the show."

"...I feel sorry for all those people who've lost their beloved weezer CDs due to car theft and break-ins. My tale is diferent. My Jeep Cherokee was stolen and all my CD's were in it. At the time I didn't own a weezer CD and hadn't even considered it. But when all my music was taken, a friend from school suggested I go buy a weezer cd and I did. I've been hooked on weezer ever since...so some good came out of it. By the way, the day my jeep was stolen, was the same day I worked at the drive thru window of my fast food job and guess which car drove up to the window that night! MY JEEP! I caught that kid red handed and got my jeep back, but not my CDs sadly. The driver was an 8th grader....The kid ended up having to pay me restitution and had to go to boot camp for a year. He did $1400 of damage in that one day! You should have seen the cops JUMP on him when they came...and cops are heavy! Hahah, that's what he gets for car theft!" ---Jessica R.

...A5 recording session, day 58. Back in the Hollywood studio used for days 1-57 of recording. 'Touch-ups' day 1 of 3. After a few weeks of living with the rough mixes and really getting to know this thing that they have created, the band came up with a list of fixes and changes needed on various songs. These 3 days are devoted to stuff that Scott, Brian and Pat are able to fix and change. If and when Rivers plans to make any changes to his parts isn't known at this time, as he remains in school at this point for the remainder of the semester.

...MB '05 Tour: Day 123: The Tonight Show With Jay Leno - Burbank, CA
Today was weezer's second appearence on The Tonight Show, having first played it on July 27, 2001. However Pat can claim yet another personal appearance, as he was randomly selected to sing Elvis songs on a "Jaywalking" segment back on January 9, 2001.
For the first time I actually sat in the TV audience for the show, and was pleased to discover that the sound was quite excellent in the studio. The challenge, as always, would be in how it translated to TV, as there are a number of ways the sound can be (and many times is) messed with before it gets broadcast. However, today it seemed that everything went right. The band sounded tight, the sound was translated well to TV, the camera moves were good, and everone in the band got featured nicely. In my opinion this was the best weezer TV appearance of the year so far, and it was a real treat for it to go so well after such a long string of hard work for the band and crew over the last week.
...Check out Weezer hosting MTV2's T-Minus Rock (MTV2's Rock Countdown show) every day this week, Monday thru Friday from 11am - noon (est) or 8am - 11am (pst)! Weezer was interviewed by Jim Shearer for these segments of T-Minus Rock, and it went really well.

Back in big ol' Texas, where the stars shine bright! Specifically Austin, home of SXSW, U of T, and hell of good BBQ. The Lone Star peeps came down to U of T's Frank Erwin Center (aka "The Superdrum") in search of a good time, and the Tokyo/Angels/Weez machine delivered a party that would do ol' Frank Erwin proud. 
Say, if you were in the audience at the Frank Erwin and happened to witness a rather unusual appearence of Rivers between the Tokyo and Angels sets, and you happened to capture any photos or video clips of the event, and you are willing to share them for the greater good of the universe, contact me (email by clicking the 'Karls Corner' bar above) and lets do this! Thanks!
Shout outs to Ian from the Euerka Farm days, Pat's budrow Greg C. and his boy, and BIG UPS to SPC Donald Davis, a soldier stationed at Ft. Hood who had recently spent well over a year in the thickest of things in Iraq. Donald said "You have no idea how many of us guys over there have depended on your music to get us through! I don't know what I would have done over there without Weezer to keep me going!" Donald, Weezer salutes you and your fellow soldiers for your brave service and is proud to have you back Stateside and in the audience tonight! 
Here are some pix from tonight's show (click on them to see them bigger)
...Okay, so these 2 cool kids from Portland have this cool video show about music called "The Mike And Joey Jesus Show", and they won a 94.7 contest to do a mini-documentary on Weezer. I guided them around backstage at the PDX show and they did some interviews with band members and such, and they turned it into a cool 20 min video show, that you can watch here. Enjoy!
...Weezer tribute band crossover alert! Georgia band El Scorcho sez: "If you plan on coming to the Weezer concert at Gwinnett Center on Oct 25, why not come a day early on Oct 24 to see El Scorcho perform at Sweetwater Bar and Grill? We'll have a limited edition of our new single to give out! Plus El Scorcho will be on stage with Weezer during the hootenanny segment at the concert on Oct 25 at Gwinnett Center! How cool is that?"

WEEZER’S NEW VIDEO FOR “(IF YOU’RE WONDERING IF I WANT YOU TO) I WANT YOU TO” PREMIERES TODAY ON BABELGUM
TWO BACK-TO-BACK PERFORMANCES ON THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, OCTOBER 29TH AND 30TH
BAND ANNOUNCES FIRST TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF RADITUDE
Weezer, 2008 Grammy Award Winners for best music video, will premiere their video for “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” the first single off of their latest release Raditude, on October 20th. The video will be available exclusively on Babelgum for one week. It features actress Odette Yustman (“Cloverfield”) as the gorgeous femme fatale who visits the sleepy town of Weezerville and throws the locals- played by duplicate versions of the band members- into chaos. 
In addition to the video, fans will also be able to watch behind-the-scenes footage and an interview with acclaimed director Marc Webb, whose credits include the beloved breakout film “500 Days Of Summer” and music videos for My Chemical Romance, Regina Spektor and Green Day. This isn’t Webb’s first experience working with Weezer; he directed the band’s video for “Perfect Situation” which featured actress Elisha Cuthbert. 
In support of Raditude, Weezer announces a string of tour dates, kicking off October 24th at the Palladium in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles and New York City shows have already sold out. Tickets for the remaining dates go on sale next week. On October 29th and 30th, Weezer will appear for back-to-back performances on The Late Show With David Letterman. Weezer releases Raditude on November 3rd. On the same day, they will introduce the Weezer Snuggie, the band’s personalized version of the now-famous blanket with sleeves.

'Five colored buttons on the "neck" of the guitar are used together with the "strum" button to play along with songs by bands such as the Rolling Stones and Weezer.' There it is, Weezer and the Rolling Stones in the same breath."

UPDATE
SATURDAY 24 -Nov-2001 Phoenix, AZ / America West Arena-- CONFIRMED presale tickets (see tour page for link) this wednesday -- =rwa= news
...ok just to make it clear, there are still tickets left for the San Jose show. The "Tour" page has the links and info you need. This show is NOT sold out yet!
...The first of several upcoming grape peeling competitions is already sold out. I wasn't told about the ticket on-sale date till after the fact myself, so I couldnt fill people in on this upcoming grated parmesian session at the Knitting Factory on the 24th. Im not sure how word spread without any announcements whatsoever, but the competition sold out rapidly! The grape peelers themselves are hoping that Knitting Factory attendees bring personal recording devices to the show to document and share the sounds of all those grapes being crushed and all that parmesian being grated. Remember that the parmesian grating sounds are going to be all new, so its on you, the attendee, to help spread the joy via any and all free electronic media. That way all fans of grated parmesian can hear what happened. I am sincerely hoping i get a bit of advance word on the next gallivanting pony event, so I can help hook folks up with the 411. I do know that there will be a few less golden parsnip shows than were originally planned due to some unexpected nasty legal mumbo-jumbo thats come up. I hope that such venemous, constricting issues dont put any damper on things, like they do for Johnny Depp in "From Hell".
...the band has started a new recording session, at a small L.A. area studio that I will refer to as "SH" Studios. The plan appears to be to make a high quality recording of an unknown number of tracks,and then... well, I guess what happens to these recording remains to be seen. But I really hope everyone out there gets to hear them soon! They started on Friday the 19th, and plan on recording thru the 23rd. On Friday the worked on "The Dawn", "Everybody Depends on A Friend", and "Your Room". When I get more details from Sheeny and the gang they will be here. Here's some pix from Sheeny from Friday, in the "control room" in the studio, between takes.

...MB '05 Tour: Day 124: Santa Barbara County Bowl - Santa Barbara, CA
Way up in the chilly foggy hills above Santa Barbara, they dug out a bowl back in the old days, and today it was time to fill it with loud rock and roll. Weezer has never played this place before, and it was a really cool place to have a show. But local Santa Barbara-ites already knew that. In fact weezer has really only played Santa Barbara a handful of times, including such disparate shows as a club show in '94 (just a few days after the Blue Album was released), an Oasis covers set (as 'Goat Punishment') in early '99, and the Warped Tour in 2000.
A li'l SB/LA rivalry was exposed when Scott was saying whats up to the crowd, so he reminded them that they were all rocking together in brotherhood, no matter where they were from. And that was true for this show - if you weren't huddled together with your fellow concert goers, you were probably freezing! There was the consistent threat of rain throughout the whole night, with frequent light drizzle mixing with the fog and chilly air. Not a night for respiratory tract ailments.
Hot Hot Heat opened up tonight, coming out with the weez for an extraFoozcurricular show. It was great to check out a more lengthy set from them. They have been very cool, right down to dedicating a song to weezer on occasion. They rock it out every night.
Tonight's 'Undone' acoustic assistant was one Cheyenne from SB, who had the chops and held it down. Thanks Cheyenne!
It was interesting to see a fully 'weezer crowd' after several weeks of the mixed Foozer crowd. This was very literally an all ages crowd! Mixed in amongst the high school and college folks were a suprising number of kids as young as 5, there with their parents. Plus there were plenty of people in the 40+ range as well. Weezer for the masses.
Props to Parry and Steve from Nerf Herder, in the hizzouse tonight!

Second of the Texas Trifecta tonight, in Dallas! Or rather Grand Prairie, a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth. Regardless, its Texas and thats what counts. The Nokia Theater is a jumbo (or shall we say Texas?) sized modern indoor theater, not as big as a hockey arena, but definitely still really big, and specifically designed for hosting entertainment. Which is what the people got today in a healthy dose. Today Pat's high school buddy Greg C. got to come up and play the drums on "Undone". As Pat told it, Greg was how Pat first got into playing the drums, and is therefore partly responsible for how Weezer turned out! So it was pretty cool for Pat and Greg to be able to share the stage many years later. 
Shout out to Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer who was in the house, a long time weezer fan well before his own great success kicked in! Bryce passed me his 1st ep back at Cain's in Tulsa OK in 2001, and has come a looong way since then!
Scott Shriner has written an article in the latest issue of Bass Player magazine (with Robert Trujillo from Metallica on the cover), so if you want to know what's on Scott's bass-heavy mind these days, go check it out! (Appears to be in the print edition only)
