...arrived in Brussels about 5 PM, piled into the hotel and hunkered down. Some went to explore, some stayed in and computed on computers (like me).
...contrary to rumors that seem to be flying, the band are NOT going into the studio to make a new album in the next 2 months. They do intend to cut a new record as soon as possible, but its quite unlikely that this will be anytime before the end of the year. There is, in fact, a lot of plans on the table for touring for much of the rest of 2001, and any non-touring time will likely be used for "time off" and to write songs. As always: as soon as CONFIRMED, NON-RUMOR tour dates are known, they will be up on our tour page. We cant be responsible for any announcements that go up on other websites, and also must warn that if we post a show as "unconfirmed", that means "maybe--maybe not", and we do not recommend any ticket purchase before we have it down as "confirmed".

...On August 7th, Weezer will be playing at the Hurley US Open Of Surfing, in Huntington Beach, CA! Opening will be Hot Hot Heat. Free! Heres all the info.
...Weezer Radio is now featuring the excellent "Barely Legal Radio" show, every Friday morning. "Barely Legal" is hosted by the acclaimed DJ Joe Escalante who was beloved as the morning commute DJ on Los Angeles' excellent Indie 103.1 station while it was still going. "Barely Legal Radio" is a caller driven show which provides legal and professional advice for people interested in show business. You can also hear "Barely Legal Radio" on L.A.'s KFWB 980 AM on Sundays at 5 PM beginning July 11, 2010.
...well, it was a sad day when Team USA got eliminated from the World Cup by Ghana in the second round. No doubt they gave it their all and did a great job, and we're proud of them "whether you win or lose", as Weezer's "Represent" song goes. Speaking of, "Represent" got a lot of exposure in a very short time as the unofficial rallying song for the team, stoking up the team in the locker room and the fans on Youtube. Even Bill Clinton got in on the action.
...Rivers joined DJ Aoki during his set at The Electric Daisy techno-fest in L.A. the other night. He sang on a new track that they collaborated on for Aoki's upcoming album, as well as a mosh and dance friendly rendition of "Hash Pipe". Spin mag has noted this guest appearance as one of the 10 best moments at this years Electric Daisy.
...nice interview with Brian on Knoxville's WBIR TV station, at Bonnaroo.

Karl's Corner - 07/01/2001

From Brussels, we cruised out to the boondocks, where these festivals must by law take place in order to sucessfully re-create conditions suitable for bathing in mud, drinking too much beer, and getting one's tent stolen while off raving in the woods. Werchter is a BIG festival that draws about 75,000 people every summer. That calls for a lot of port-a-potties, and some extremely absorbant trees. Weezer took the "tent stage" as opposed to the main stage, and the tent soon swelled to an over capacity crowd of chanting weez-folk, demonstrating the need for weezer to get on the main stage next time. Rivers seemed to have a lot to say, but not everything sank in with the multi-lingual crowd. But they did know the language of rock, and giant mosh pits broke out as well as massive sing-a-longs!
after the show the guys did several more interviews, including one with some lady from MTV (see photo)...
...for those of you who just found out, this is a repeat announcment, confirming that weezer has had to cancel the upcoming shows in Manchester and at T in the park in Scotland. for the full scoop on this unfortunate turn of events, go back to my report on 6/27. Also, we have learned that opener Jimmy Eat World is in fact still doing the Manchester gig, with a 5 Pound ticket price. Additionally, for those who are asking re: Reading/Leeds: No, weezer is not scheduled to play, and in fact never confirmed this show. The festival promoter jumped the gun a while back and printed up posters and ads that included weezer, so many folks were led to beleive that weezer was playing. This is not the case.

Keep Fishin' report:
...okay, heres some good news! We've gotten word that starting around July 8th, you should be able to catch the new "Keep Fishin'" video on both Mtv and Mtv2! The "All Access" Mtv2 special on 7/14 is still scheduled as well, which is supposed to be a sort of "making the video" type behind the scenes look at the videos creation (as well as the finished product of course!) So keep an eye peeled for some furry rock action starting on the 8th!
...Update: Summer EP. The selection of live tracks from the Japan World Cup Tour has been finalized. The cover art is in the works, and a title has been chosen. In addition to the live tracks, the EP will also include the new version of "Keep Fishin'". More news as we get it.
...Update: DVD. My extensive project of gathering clips together and sorting out a weezer DVD content running order has been taking up 90 percent of my June, but a LOT of progress has been made. The menu systems have been sorted out (though not actually funcional yet, the way theyre gonna work has been figured out), the list of video clips, live stuff , and exclusives has been mostly sorted out, and the editing work is in full gear. Big questions remain as to whether some footage is allowed to be used, but there are so many possibilities that its gonna be pretty full no matter what happens.
...also, lots more reports have been coming in from people hearing Keep Fishin' more and more. the 7-2 report should have some details.

After several weeks in the woodshed, Team Weezer has assembled north of the border in Toronto to help Canada celebrate Canada Day. Its a sold out show, and the 25,000 attendees have been streaming in since they opened the gates mid afternoon. Actually, these might be the only 25,000 people left in Toronto, as it looked like just about everybody else was driving south on the QEW. But these 25,000 people are here to rock, and Weezer is here to rock them, along with Buck65, Hey Rosetta!, Broken Social Scene, and The Tragically Hip. Its an awesome day today, should be a good show...

...we departed Belgium via the "Chunnel", driving the bus onto a huge train that closed up like the corridors in the Death Star (see photo) and whisked us under the English Channel to Dover, and on to London. The next day was partially a day off, save for some band business and some interviews and such. I went out and located the UK Hash Pipe single which was released today! There are 3 formats: CD, which includes "Hash Pipe", "Starlight", the Jimmy Pop remix of "Hash Pipe", and (in cd-rom format) the Hash Pipe video. The cassette single includes "Starlight". The 7", limited to a numbered run of 2000 copies, has "Teenage Victory Song" on the B-Side, but the pressing plant made an error with the sleeve, showing "Starlight" as the "exclusive" vinyl B-side, which it certainly is NOT. We have since learned that the error was caught at the plant, but not before SOME copies made it out with the wrong sleve. Stores have been sent the correct sleeve and have been ordered to destroy or send back the wrong ones. I got 2 copies at the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street, and they had tons of the 7", all with the incorrect sleeve. Some folks have written in saying the ones that they got were like that too, so it seems for a breif time that an extra-special collectible is on the market!
...in the evening, we went over to the AOL UK offices and Pat, Rivers and Brian did a live online chat. Like previous online chats, the questions came in by the hundreds, almost too fast for the moderater guy to even pick them out. This chat went pretty well though, with what I felt was a pretty honest blend of funny and serious answers from the guys click here for the transcript [pop up]
...UK viewers will be able to see the performance of "Hash Pipe" that was taped a few weeks back on the Pepsi Chart show, this upcoming Thursday at 7:30 pm (UK) on Channel 5.
...Also this coming Thursday, before the 3rd Shepard's Bush gig, the band will be taping "Top of the Pops", for airing sometime in the next 2 weeks. Were told that also appearing will be such acts as James, Usher, The Strokes, and The Backstreet Boys! This ought to be good and weird...

Keep Fishin' report:
Some clarification on the upcoming Mtv2 Keep Fishin' special, to air during their "All Access" week on July 14th: The 30 minute special is indeed an official "Making The Video" episode. That should give a better idea of what to expect.
*radio:
in the past few days, people have reported hearing Keep Fishin' on...107.7 the end kndd Seattle (reached #2 on the people's choice countdown 6/27)....Chicago's 94.7 "The Zone." ("playing it repeatedly"; having "Red, White and Weezer Weekend" for Tweeter Center tix)...92.1 WMAD (Mad Radio) in Madison, WI...wcyy in portland maine (album version)...102.1 "the edge" in Dallas (added to their playlist 7/2)...106.7 KROQ in Los Angeles (on "Furious Five at Nine" were giving away tickets for the Weezer show on August 9th in Irvine. Keep Fishin' was #3 and the d.j. Stryker made it a block and played Undone as well)...94.3 Cool Orange County (also playing Slob)...89-7 The River (KIWR, Council Bluffs/OMAHA, on their "FRIDAY NITE BUZZ" request show, repeatedly claims on-air that "NOBODY PLAYS MORE WEEZER")...detroit's 89X..."Real Rock 101.1 WJRR" in Orlando, Florida (many requests got it started)...Y101 in Richmond, VA...Boise Idaho's 100.3 The X (in cage match vs Linkin Park's "Point of Authority")...Philly's Y100 (was "...kicking ass on their "Cage Match" every night, beating down any challenger they put before it. BUT a bunch of [...] had to call in and choose some [...] Our Lady Peace song...")...94.5 the Buzz...92.3 K-Rock in nyc...WBER in rochester, ny...and 94.1 the zone in rochester, ny...
Wild radio news of the week (or year, possibly!)
"...On my drive home I decided to tune into some rap music on the radio dial around 11:30pm (June 30, 2002). So as I tuned into the most popular rap station in Southern California; Power 106, whose slogan I must add is "Blazin the Most Hip Hop and R&B," I was unexpectedly hit with Weezer's 'Keep Fishin.' I was stunned to hear the weez on a hip hop station..." ---Greg from La Palma, California

...MB '05 Tour: Day 40: Vegas Rocks w/RHCP - Silverbowl Sports Complex, Las Vegas
today was epic! We got in a pair of SUVs at the hotel and headed over to the Silverbowl Sports Complex, which is located in the outskirts of Vegas next to the UNLV stadium. Im not sure what made it a "Sports Complex", as it looked a lot like a bare field with the stage and various outdoor festival stuff set up on it. Anyway, from the looks of it, all 50,000 of the people who grabbed the free tickets when they were given away a while back appeared to have made it to the show, having braved evil traffic jams coming into the city for the 4th of July weekend, and cruelly high temperatures of up to 109 degrees. I didnt catch too many people complaining. The mood out in the crowd seemed to be generally "yes, let's party - though its a bit too hot to get too crazy".
The Adolescents played first. They were an important part of the LA/OC punk scene, rising up when Black Flag and The Germs and The Circle Jerks did back in the late 70's. A few years back they reunited and have been periodically rocking it out ever since. Interestingly, this was not Weezers first time playing with the Adolescents! Back on March 13th, 1993, Weezer supported The then-reunited for the first time in years Adolescents at Bogart's in Long Beach, and had a challenging time with the very drunk and rowdy crowd who were definitely not interested in discovering the fledgling weezer! And in the lengthy period when the Adolescents were between their original run and their current revival run, bass player Steve Soto was in a band called Joyride, who shared the stage with weezer for many a pre blue album show back in '92-'94.
So anyway, its awesome that the Chili Peppers invited them onto today's bill. It was cool to see some classic, REAL punk rock going down. Then Weezer took the stage with a tight performance and enjoyed the benefits of the crisp new PA system and some of their updated audio gear (the rest had to go onto Kansas City in advance). As some commented, the audience was a little subdued, but were still very supportive and stoked. And as the temps were still around 100 degrees when the weez hit the stage, its not suprising that the moshing was on the mellower side. The audience was treated to the very first ever public performance of "Perfect Situation", and heard Rivers giving some kind words of support to the distant Live 8 efforts, before launching into 'Peace'.
The Chilis delivered a typically wicked set, including a few brand new numbers and a very nice jazz trumpet solo by Flea. The whole place was going bananas, and the eve was capped off with a Happy Birthday to Vegas fireworks display that pretty much devastated whatever eardrums were left intact after the concert! All in all a great night out in the desert...

Theres a lot of Canada that they wisely designated as "the hinterlands" many years ago - or perhaps there simply arent enough Canadians to fill up all the land they have! Either way, we are deep in the Canadian hinterlands today, marveling at the natural beauty and small town good vibes. The good vibe small town in question is Saint-Georges, which is a few miles from the Woodstock-en-Beauce festival site. The whole area is about 60 miles south of Quebec City, and only about 30 miles north from the border of another hinterland-laden area, the US state of Maine.
Now that the geography lesson is complete, we move on to rock, roll and a big old festival thereof. Today is the 4th day of the annual 5 day Woodstock-en-Beauce Festival, which features a decidedly eclectic mix of bands from around the globe. Like Weezer, Pat Benatar, and good ol' Fringants, et Grimskunk even. (see the full massive list here)
We are stoked to be playing the same day as the legendary Pat Benatar and hopefully can catch some of her set, as its on a different stage.

...today was the first of 3 straight days in London, chock full of press, meetings, and of course the shows! Tonight the guys played "Glorious Day" for the first time since the very first day of the Hooptie Tour back in May. There were some missiles thrown at the guys during the set, mostly cups of beer (and one bottle!), but outside of some splashes, no one got hit. Pat responded by tossing out some drumsticks and used drumheads, which the people seemed to accept as fair offerings.
...before the gig the guys did as videotaped interview with a guy from the "Pop World"(?) UK television show, it was a bit stiff in my opinion due to the kinda blah questions, but still has its funny moments.
...(the following was originally incorrectly posted as happening yesterday, before the mag actually came out!) ...also today the new issue of Kerrang magazine with weezer on the cover came out, and seems to be selling quite well...no one in the band had any luck finding a copy, with several newsagents reporting the issue selling out almost immediately!

"...I’m psyched, the pyro is insane!..." -Pat Wilson, today.
...magazine hounds: There is a 2 page spread on the Keep fishin video in the new Kerrang magazine. The cover date is July 6, and the Red Hott Chili Peppers are on the cover.
...now heres a cool idea...a fan writes: "At midnight (eastern time, that would be 9PM west coast) late on July 9th I'm trying to get everyone to sign off all of the message boards and listen to "Mykel and Carli" then "Only in Dreams" in honor of the 5th anniversary of Mykel and Carli's tragedy. I already made a thread but I don't think it will be enough to get the word around..." Well, consider something thoughtful like that a high priority on this corner! How about it, folks?
