This star studded charity benefit soccer game takes place on January 17th at the Home Depot center in Carson, Cali. Tickets are just $20 on Ticketmaster and proceeds go to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and the Mia Hamm Foundation.
As you may recall, last winter's Rivers Video "Lover In The Snow" featured footage from last years event, in which Rivers scored the first goal of the game for his team. This years game is sure to be great fun for all, and it's for a great pair of causes. Come on down!
...PORK AND BEANS REDUX:
Okay, the long rumored "second version" of the Pork and Beans video is finally on our doorstep. A lot more stuff got filmed last May than what you saw in the now famous version. So check back shortly here and on our Youtube page for this all new yet oddly familiar video!
...THE GREATEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED:
Folks, if you havent seen the "Children Of Winter" movie trailer AKA a special "Greatest Man That Ever Lived" video, wait no longer and click it here! 
<youtube>zLvR5NiCPb0</youtube>
"The Greatest Man..." is the new radio single from "The Red Album", so tell your station they need to play it so all the world understands the JAM.
...Heres something different: A Weez-inspired comedy/music show featuring the excellent Weezer cover band "The Little Bitches". Jacob Sirof Presents "Undone - The Sweater Show", March 5th, 2009 at the San Jose Improv, San Jose, CA. Check it out!

We hope everyone has had a terrific holiday season and a happy new year so far. Team Weezer has reassembled for the Chicago shows, and today is the first one here at the Aragon. Chicago is bitterly cold right now, not even cracking 15 degrees, and so far its not much warmer inside the Aragon! But thats what happens when you tour in January. The rock will warm us.
Lots going on at these shows - tonight, on top of the bands wicked "hits" and "blue" sets, The Limousines opening the show, my mid show slideshow, the general mayhem, the State Farm lobby photo booths and the merchandise tables, we also had a bunch of talented kids come down from the Chicago School Of Rock to do a mid-show mini set of covers, songs not done by weezer tonight: "Don't Let Go" and "El Scorcho". And they did a really great job, the crowd sang along just as much as they did to the weez. Theyll be back tomorrow too. Plus we had Scott from Magic Hugs (AKA "Chazz" from How To Be Tight) on hand to film a bunch of behind the scenes interviews and other madness for some upcoming TBA stuff. Plus we had legendary photog Paul Natkin in the house capturing things the Paul Natkin way.
Thanks to Cary LaScala, the drummer for The Limousines - he gave Rivers the cool shirt that he wore at New York's night 2 (from his store in SF, .Cary.Lane.), and he and the Limousines have been a lot of fun to mini-tour with.

2013/01/07 Arrival in Jakarta and Press Conference
Well it took 18 years, but Weezer finally set foot in Indonesia today, after about 20+ hours of flying including a layover in Hong Kong. Jakarta (apparently nicknamed "The Big Durian") is unbelievably massive, one of the largest metro areas in the world, and growing fast still. The traffic is nuts, the weather is wet and warm, and the city is just buzzing at all times. The Indonesian people have been extremely warm and friendly, and the Weezer fans we have met are awesome - so much love and enthusiasm and creativity! Thank you for waiting for us!!!

...recording day 12...Today we moved into "studio 3", down the hall from the big room we were in previously. This room also has had a ton of killer albums made in it, including "the big one" penned by a certain Mr. Wilson back in the day (no, not Pat...)..so we are hoping the magic rubs off and keeps the weezer sessions rocking hard!
Today was guitar day #1, where the basic rhythm guitars on no less than 12 songs were laid down in one marathon session, punctuated only with brief breaks for water or a quick bite to eat. The 10 hour session was mostly done without air conditioning (to keep the room temperature consistent, so the guitars didnt go out of tune), so the recording room became a virtual sauna for the whole day! But Rivers and the guys were determined to make a ton of progress and keep the album on schedule, and they did just that.
 
...P.S.: just a reminder to tune into the Tonight Show tonight (Tues 9th), for a random treat featuring Pat Wilson...!

Wow, night 1 was pretty darn spectacular, and the Aragon was utterly packed to the gills with ravenous weez army members. The School Of Rock kids did a great job with their intermission mini-set of weezer covers, and we're expecting another such set tonight, with different songs. The Limousines rocked hard and warmed us up (literally!) as the interior Aragon temperature climbed from near freezing in places to hotter than hell. Tonight should be more, more, more!
(later...) And indeed, tonight's show was intense! The audience were amazing both nights, singing along loudly and freaking out constantly. I met so many cool fans both nights, from the I Love All Access VIPers to people from all over the place who had to come see the Memories Tour, and I've got to say it once again, weezer fans are the best fans!
Tonight the School Of Rock kids did "Say It Aint So" and "Surf Wax America" during the intermission, which actually got some crowdsurfing going! They did a fantastic job again. Also tonight the winners of the State Farm Grantin' Wishes With Weezer contest were granted their wishes, and Scott from Magic Hugs (AKA "Chazz" from How To Be Tight) was on hand to help film and interview the goings on for upcoming segments on the State Farm website (we'll link it up when its up). The winners were: One guy got to play drums with the band during soundcheck, he played "the Good life" with them. A girl named Nicole got to meet the band and have Jeremy her garden gnome signed. Then Scott suggested the gnome hang out on the drum kit for the show, and so it came to pass. Another guy got to come up on stage and do his magic trick routine for the crowd while the band played Hash Pipe. And finally a school teacher from Kansas got to sit with the band while they answered questions from the guys classroom kids back in Kansas via iChat. That class also got some new guitars. And also a bunch of fans questions were answered on video which will be a part of the stuff that will go on the State Farm site soon.

Big ups to Jam Productions, Paul Natkin, ILAA, The ILAA VIPers, Anuj Behal (RWA OG webmaster 1995-1999, Spice Girls doll owner), Brian's mom, and the many many awesome Boardies of every stripe we met over these 2 nights!

2013/01/08 Australasia Tour 2013: Jakarta, Indonesia: Lapangan Senayan Stadium
At long last the first show of the Australasia Tour is here, at a walled in outdoor area at the Lapangan Senayan Stadium in Jakarta. It rained quite a bit today so the grounds are quite wet and muddy (say goodbye to your shoes), but now the skies have cleared for the evening and the people have flooded in, and they are clearly ultra excited and ready to rock. It's about time we did this!
Outside the show area they set up a side stage where local bands have been entertaining the crowds before the main gates opened (and continue to till weezer starts), plus they had a giant weezer display that people have been taking their picture with while waiting to rock out. The vibes are great, the local staff has been super helpful, the tech people and our crew have been kicking ass and everything is ready to go - its time for the band and the crowd to join up for some magic. Thank you Indonesia!!!

...recording day 13...today Rivers spent some time polishing up his basic guitar tracks, and then turned the room over to Brian, who added more rhythm guitar tracks on about 8 of the songs over the course of the day. The manic pace and hard work continues, and the songs are starting to sound fuller and fuller...
...the crazy news today was Pat's unexpected appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Viewers were treated to scenes from Pats apartment in L.A., when Jay and an Elvis impersonator invaded (randomly, unplanned) and got Pat so sing various Elvis songs. Jay was totally unaware of who Pat was until Pat let it slip that he "was almost on (Jay's) show" one time. Somehow this turned into a random plug for weezer, as the Tonight show decided to include a clip from the "Buddy Holly" video, pointing out Pat! Pat did an adequate rendition of "Love me Tender", and then did a duet with the Elvis impersonator. I did in fact tape it, but shortly thereafter the video camera decided to blow up, so there will be a slight delay before I can post a clip of this.

happy new year! today (friday), weezer reconvened in L.A. to begin a set of rehearsal/preproduction days, in order to prepare another batch of songs for the recording studio. These preproduction sessions will likely extend thru much of January, beyond which a return to the studio (recording phase 2) is expected.
The band have already laid down a healthy number of tracks back in December (though they have not gone in for overdubs or 'polishing' on them yet), so with this new set there will be quite a few songs on the 'bargaining table' for album 5. Happily, between Rick Rubin and Weezer, quality control standards are at an all time high. The large number of songs in the running is not unusual - Rubin routinely asks the bands he works with to record quite a few tracks, later culling the herd down to an album.
the rough word on the DVD and Blue Album deluxe editon is "early Spring, or, Spring". It appears that there is at last light at the end of the tunnel...
meanwhile, what must be the first weezer book is hitting print. This is an unauthorized biography by Rolling Stone writer John Luerssen that looks to be heavily researched, but was not supported by the band nor the bands circle of friends and contacts. It is unknown what exactly this book will be like, (aside from a unfortunate title and equally unfortunate photoshop work on the cover) as no current band members were interviewed for it. However, it is likely to include a concise history of the band culled from available data, and it claims to include exclusive material. So there ya go...first book about weezer (due May '04).
...London, UK fan alert: a London fan writes: "We need help spreading the word: There's gonna be a weezer meetup for active London fans, at some pub in central London. It's scheduled for the 17th of January." See the meetup site for details and to sign up. (at some point, a group of fans started "International Weezer Meetup Day", and decided it would be on Jan 17th of every year. There may be other meetings scheduled closer to you - the site has the info) To contact the London fan who's trying to rally the weez troops, click here.

*** *** *** UPDATE 1/25 *** *** ***
Peoples - if you like Weezer and Soccer, live in SoCal and are looking for something to do tomorrow, then listen up - TOMORROW 1/26 at 1PM, Rivers is playing in the Mia Hamm and Nomar Garciaparra charity celebrity soccer match, which benefits Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles and the Mia Hamm Foundation. The match is at the Home Depot Center, Carson, CA. All the info you need to know is on the match's website, and more info is on their MySpace page too. C'mon down and support a great charity and root Rivers on to victory!
...and by the way, i hope youve been keeping up with the Rivers Podcast Page!
*UPDATE* the Scott Shriner Fan Interview is now up for your perusal here. Lots of interesting things to read! Kudos to Scott, Weerez.com, and all the fans who sent in Q's.
...Rivers' "Alone" album now has a video, for "Blast Off!" This video will be world premiering on Yahoo.com, on their video premieres page (link updated 1/14), this coming Friday, 1/11. Check it out! I think youll get a kick out of it.
speaking of "Alone", heres a recent Billboard.com article in which Rivers says some interesting stuff about his own music and Weezer music. Speaking of Rivers interviews, keep an eye on the 'Alone' podcast page, ther should be more additions soon. And meanwhile, the vinyl LP version of 'Alone" is now out, sightings have been made at several US shops. This is a strictly limited pressing, so if you like the big black discs, get 'em while you can!
...Thanks to weezed.com, the fan created and fan hosted (for now) Weezer Media Archive has a new home at last. This is an amazing resource for anyone looking for old articles about weezer and interviews with them, dating back to when the Blue Album was released back in 1994.

...recording day 14...today Brian continued working very hard on his rhythm guitar parts, nearly completing all of them in a marathon session. Then he took a break and Rivers went in to re-do some of his own previously recorded guitar with a better sound that was discovered during the course of the day's work. Then some more edits were worked on. Another jam-packed day!
...I've gotta tell you, this stuff is starting to sound AMAZING. The sounds, the playing, the songs, the arrangements are beginning to crystalize, and while there is lots more to do (including the crucial solos and vocal work), the foundation these guys are laying down is blowing me away. I really cant beleive the criticism we've encountered on this project so far. I, for one, beleive that the naysayers will be proven utterly wrong.

...okay the weary soldiers have a report. In the studio, Rivers says thet tonights tracking session (where all the instruments are played at once to create a basic track) is done, and it was the last one! Now there will be 2 days of guitar and vocal overdubs, and then on Monday the production moves into the mixing process! Everyone is exhausted but stoked at the same time.
...Meanwhile, I'm just about batty from working all day and night on updating the Recording History. I can now present you with "Page 12" which represents EVERYTHING from 2001! To check it out, click on "Info" above and then "recording history". Skip ahead to page 12 and see whats what. If you spot any wacky errors, let me know! Time for bed.

...recording day 15...today the sessions were threatened by flooding in the studio, which occurred just down the hall after a crazy rainstorm blew though L.A. last night. Even mother nature is out to get us! Only by a stroke of sheer random luck, weezer's studio rooms escaped any serious flooding trouble. Once we settled in, today was a mixed bag of activity, which included Brian doing more guitar work, Rivers re-doing some guitar work, Mikey re-doing some bass lines on 2 songs, an expected delay as a new edit of "Crab" was prepared by the skilled engineers, and finally Rivers doing some experimental vocal tracks on 3 songs, "Knock-down Drag-out", "O Girlfriend", and "Starlight", doing some alternate melodies and feels on each.
 
...the song list re-cap...looks as follows as of today:
    "front runners" (a few might drop out...)
    If You Want It
    Sugar Booger
    Don't Let Go
    Island In The Sun
    Knock-down Drag-out
    O-Girlfriend
    Crab
    O-Lisa
    Always
    Hash Pipe
    Inside a Smile
    Gimmie Some Love
    Starlight
    New Song (title unknown)
    "bubbling under" (one or two might join the front runner list at any time...or just 'b-side' potentials)
    Teenage Victory Song
    Gonna Make My Move
    My Best Friends Are Gone
    "in trouble" (possible b-sides, unlikely to make the album)
    Break-Up
    Homely
    Cryin' And Lonely

"...Chad [the engineer] is pretty amazing. He seems to subsist on Diet Coke. I’ve never seen him eat anything, and he’s always working into the wee hours. Engineers have amazing stamina (as do webmasters and assistants)." --Sarah, on the scene in L.A.

Karl's Corner - 01/11/2005

...a happy new year to all. A few days ago some intrepid =w= fans braved the wilds of the internet to find this info, which, if one looks carefully, lists March 21st as the date the first single from the new weezer album goes to radio. The title listed, "Beverly Hills", is indeed correct! And yes, the 'radio date' of 3/21 is indeed confirmed at this point, though as its so far away, its not impossible that it could still change.
So what does this date mean? It means that until 3/21, theres really no point in requesting the song, as radio stations are being 'serviced' with the song on that date - in other words, they dont have it yet, and arent supposed to play it yet even if they did. 
(But does the song rock? HELL YES!) 
As for what this means in the bigger picture, the most recent predictions of a spring release for weezers album 5 are proving accurate so far. By the time the 'Beverly Hills' is at radio, way way more details and info will become available. But for now, the album isnt entirely even finished yet, as Rivers will be completing his work on several songs after his semester is over in late January. Then the album (including 'Beverly Hills') gets mixed and the artwork gets done. What is for sure is that "Beverly Hills" will be at radio well in advance of the albums release, by a good 6 weeks or more, which is normal for a 1st single from a new album.
At this time, no album title is known and no release date is set. Touring is being talked about and definite plans are on the table, but again, no details are ready for the public yet. Patience, young jedi!
