Keep Fishin' report:
The international and UK commercial singles for Keep Fishin' come out in just 3 days, on September 2!
International CD SINGLE
1) Keep Fishin (Album Version)
2) Photograph (Live Version)
International CD MAXI (UK Maxi Single #1)
1) Keep Fishin (Album Version)

2) Slob (Live Version)
3) Knock Down Drag Out (Live Version)
4) Keep Fishin' by the Franklin Mint
note that Maxi single #2's contents are currently in dispute: the single as it stands for sale on Amazon.com and CDnow.com lists as:
1. keep fishin‘ (radio version)
2. slob (live)
3. dope nose (video)
while Amazon.co.uk lists:
1. keep fishin‘ (radio version)
2. slob (live)
3. knock-down drag-out (live)
So, which of the 3 possible line ups is it? is the Franklin Mint version on or off? I'm still awaiting word.
Meanwhile, lucky Irish fans have all this weekend to locate their weez before anyone else gets it! The single is already out in Ireland, where they have a slightly earlier release schedule than the rest of the world.
The UK's Kerrang! mag has reviewed the single, giving it single of the week status, with 4 out of 5 "k's" for a rating. Also, in the new Kerrang! poster special there is a foldout double wide poster of weezer with the muppets on the keep fishin' set. And in their article the "a-z" of rock logos, the example for "W" is the weezer =w=. Nice!
*video:
MuchMusic Canada: On their weekly top 30 countdown, "keep fishin" is up another 4 spots this week, to #16!
*radio:
WHFS 99.1 (Baltimore/Annapolis) has an "End of the Summer, Labor Day Block Party Weekend". 3 blocks of Weezer have been heard so far, incl: Undone + Buddy Holly + Keep Fishin', and Keep Fishin'+ Hash Pipe.
...Scott alert: See BassStreet.com for a short but sweet feature on weez bassman Scott Shriner [its about 1/2 way down the page], wherein he talks about his vintage basses and such. 
...this comes in handy when the website is under construction...

...Well we're in the leafy wild woods of The Shire, AKA the backstage artist's area of the Virgin Free Fest, and it's a beautiful day indeed. A zillion bands are playing today including tourmates Taking Back Sunday and Blink-182, and Public Enemy, Jet, The Hold Steady and many more. Fun times! The crowd was HUGE and it really felt like a headlining show today for weezer, as the people simply went ape-doodoo during weezer's set. All in th weez camp agreed that this was the peak of the tour so far overall.
Also apparently the head of Virgin, Richard Branson parachuted in and shot t-shirts into the crowd out of a t-shirt cannon. What can beat that?

...Reminder: Weezer's new single, the first from their upcoming 7th album "Raditude" is called "(If you're wondering if i want you to) I want you to". And the super simple radio request phrase once again is: "(If you're wondering if i want you to play "(If you're wondering if i want you to) I want you to", yes, I want you to play "(If you're wondering if i want you to) I want you to". What could be easier? ***Debuted at #21 on 8/27! #1 most played on KROQ Los Angeles! Thanks to you!***
"Raditude". Out 10/27 from Weezer. Produced by Jacknife Lee and Butch Walker. Featuring (If you're wondering if i want you to) I want you to", "Trippin' Down The Freeway", "Can't Stop Partying", "The Girl Got Hot", "I'm Your Daddy", and "In The Mall", just to name a few!

...first of all, this is pretty cool: They recently held this year's International Air Guitar championships in Finland. There is a freestyle competition, as well as a compulsary song that everyone has to
"play". This year the compulsory song was "Hash Pipe"! Wow, I wish i could have seen that! (thanks to Richard for the heads up)
...Right now in Boston: WAAF and WBCN in Boston are having a "Weezer
Weekend" over this holiday weekend (Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept 1,2, and 3), for the Sept. 25th show at Tweeter Center. Callers are eligible to win tickets every hour for 10 hours, so tune in, because you never know, your call might be the one thay were looking for!
...Sheeny Bang reporting live from Los Angeles, day three of demos....
"The 80's just munched everybody." Scott Shriner during a discussion of questionable fashion styles of the likes of The Who in the 80's.
"Third and final day and more of the same. We got in again at 2pm and they started right in on the last 9 songs for this demo session. That, boys and girls, makes a grand total of 24 songs. Joe Barresi, the engineer for these tracks, has gotten used to the pace that the guys set so this last day went smoother than ever. It took them 4 and half hours today--and that was with a couple of breaks. I have to give props to Maryn, the runner at the studio, who helped us out with everything and anything and always with a smile.
Tracks laid down today:
Song From Yesterday
I Wanna Know
Diamond Rings
How Long?
We Go Together
Living Without You
Farmer John
Your Room
Through Other's Eyes
It's been pretty cool seeing the whole process and how everything works. The new songs are really kick ass too, so it's been great to hear them all. They are all really different--from each other and other songs Weezer have done before--so it really is an exciting time. Lots of laughs again courtesy our Mr. Shriner, but Rivers jumped in with some good ones including the crack (and this should be read looking at the picture of the Beatles poster that I took) "Hey look, there's John, Paul, Ringo... and Brian."
Well, it's been fun pretending to be Karl for the last three days and I hope that I was able to pass on some useful information and insight into how the days went." --S.B.

...So August draws to a close, as the weez lays low for a few. Up soon is a new round of rehearsals in LA, to continue work on songs for the upcoming 5th album recording sessions, which are slated to take place later in the fall, with a producer who is yet to be decided on. As this develops in the coming weeks, you'll be the first to know about it...
Meanwhile, some developments for the DVD, which I've been frantically working on all summer. Due to the large amount of work that they will need to do to have all the various and sundry footage approved for use, the record company has suggested moving the release back to after X-mas, to sometime early in '03. While I know that sounds like a bummer, it's actually fine by me if it helps make the DVD be all I'm hoping it can be. I'd love to share some of the scoop on what's going to be on it, but until more work is done with firming things up, I don't want to jump the proverbial gun. As soon as more details become known, you can be sure they will be here first. 
Keep Fishin' report:
okay, the mystery of the conflicting CD single tracklist has apparently been solved, thanks to various Irish fans who bought both CDs and report whats actually on them. As it turns out, there is a 3 audio track limit on any single issued in The UK, or it is disqualified from the singles chart [!!], so The Franklin Mint version of Keep Fishin' has apparently been removed.

In light of the devastation in New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama, a special reminder that the best and most efficient way to get aid to the needy is a cash donation. If you arent sure where to donate, The American Red Cross is widely held to be one of the best organized and most effective relief organizations. Our thoughts are with those who have lost so much and are enduring such hardship.
...The "We Are All On Drugs" video (USA 'V2.0') is now up on weezer.com, check the media section!

...Another leafy green forested area with a Rock N Roll Center deep inside. What is it about a forest that inspires the rock?
Breaking news: Blink-182 has pulled out of this show, but the rest of the bands are rocking onward. We have no other details at this time.
Post show wrap up - a very last minute change in plans due to the death of Travis Barker's close friend DJ AM caused Blink to pull out of todays show at the last second. Everything was all set up and people were already coming in to see the show, so hastily laid plans were made to turn this show in to a Weezer headliner show, with refunds available to those who did not want that. It appears most people stayed to rock out as the place looked pretty full, and weezer did their best to step up into the headline slot, adding 4 songs to the set list (which inspired some quick rehearsals in the dressing room), and doing their best to go all out under unexpected circumstances. Things went over very well in the end - a big rock show!

...Mikey: despite a lot of peoples demands for new info, I'm sorry to say that ive got no concrete news. I have, in fact, heard talk of Mikey feeling better and perhaps returning to L.A. soon...but no one is able to say for sure at this point. I wonder as much as you do about the future of Mikey, Scott, and everything, but at this point, I don't have the solid scoop!
...this story was pretty cool:
::: "...at the Cal Berkeley football game today, as usual they were
::: getting slaughtered by Illinois. Halftime came about and I got up to get a
::: red rope. Suddenly I hear the announcer saying, "blah blah blah WEEZER!" I
::: froze right there and watched the entire marching band (famous for the
::: running tubas) start to play "You Gave Your Love To Me Softly". I ran back
::: to my seat to enjoy it with my friends and they were totally freakin out
::: too! Needless to say I was totally dumbfounded by the whole thing. I
::: believed they played "You Gave Your Love To Me Softly", "Pink Triangle", "Hash Pipe", "Buddy Holly",
::: and "My Name Is Jonas". If I'm wrong I'm sure somebody else got it right. Anyway, the
::: best part was when they finished in a giant =w=!!! I would have given my
::: right thumb for a tape recorder and a camera. Needles to say the Bears lost
::: to the Fighting Illini." --Andrew
::: "..They marched around on the field in random
::: formations, but the last formation they did was a big =w= across the
::: field. It was pretty rockin'. At that point, many weezer fans in the
::: stadium held up the hand =w=. The Cal Band also played the songs at a
::: pep rally yesterday on Upper Sproul " --Larry Kao
...Today weezer hit #1 on the requested artist for
touring dates chart at pollstar.com. Thats a lot of requests for info!
...in the "extremely weird" category: High Times's website is hosting a poll for 'pot song of the year' and
theyve included "Hash Pipe" as a choice. While it really makes no sense, and the band has insisted that its not a drug song on numerous occasions, I guess High Times just liked the title. If you'd like to vote, (if you happen to feel that way about the song), the link is here.

***Pre-Order Hurley Now! Many variations and permutations to choose from! Exclusive new T-Shirts!***
Folks, we've just arrived on the scene at the Allentown Fair, and the sun is hot, the fried dough stands are hopping, the ferris wheel is rotating, and our classy crew guys are prepping the stage for rock and roll. Opening tonight is not The Rational Clown Posse NOR Oilcan Johnson as we were told, but thankfully its Gaslight Anthem.
(later)
Good greif - well the sun went down on that fair but it never got any cooler! At least not temperature wise... However, as the evening progressed it got a LOT cooler entertainment wise! Gaslight Anthem delivered a cracking set and then Weezer did its thang. Despite the utter opressiveness of the oven like air, Rivers and co. fought hard and got the energy level up to the now-usual weez standard of: "high", with moments of "nutso" sprinkled in whenever possible. Excellent guest stars came in the form of a small stuffed tiger and a giant pink stuffed gorilla. I hope the security guard who took that inexplicable head first mini-dive to concrete out near the front-of-house area is ok. He looked more mad than hurt. What in the world happened there? A very strange accident as the RC whirlwind blew through the crowd, stoking up the fair peeps everywhere he scampered.
Big ups to Greg H. on the scene!

2013/09/01 Show: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Sonic Boom Festival
Last night, the crowd at the Calgary XFest showed the world how to go ballistic, during our set and everyone's, including for Passion Pit who had to do a DJ set as all their gear was ruined the night before in Chicago in a massive storm. The mood was raucous and full of wild energy while weezer played, and our buddies Blink 182 capped the night off right. Its pretty cool when all the bands on a bill are good.
Tonight weve packed up the whole shebang and puddle jumped over to Edmonton to do it all over again at the Sonic Boom festival. The line up is a little different tonight, with no Capital Cities but adding USS and Death From Above 1979. Then its Awolnation, Mother Mother, Passion Pit (gear or no gear we wonder), and then us, followed by Blink.
Somehow we've gotten to the end of the summer already, not literally but psychologically. Its September 1st and the kids are going back to school and football season is starting up. It doesnt look or feel any different yet, but in a few weeks it will, as the crisp edge seeps into the air and leaves begin to turn color. But in the meantime, as far as we're concerned, its still summer! Weezer has more shows coming up in September, and we fully expect warm sun and loud rock to prevail, so long as were on stage! And when it is cold, next February, well, thats why we got the Cruise #2 to look forward to...

Karl's Corner - 09/02/2000

Ok, all of the shows have been rocking hard! Sorry there was no news re: D.C. and Cleveland, both continued the trend of excellence and got amazing responses from the crowds. I'm gonna prepare some more video clips now for the WFO page, they should be up late tonight. I write this in a small office upstairs at St. Andrew's in Detroit, where the ventilation hasn't been improved since the place was built 100 years ago. Tonights show is actually a bit later than usual, creating a block of time that the guys must now figure out how to fill. Usually there has been no spare time at all...
The shows in Toronto and Buffalo were awesome, with over 2400 people stuffing into an outdoor sand-pit of sorts to see the rock in Buffalo. Up in Toronto me and Pat took a little walk on Queen Street, and were soon chased down by a group of observant fans. In Buffalo we were treated to some delicious Mighty Taco, as well as some Duff's chicken wings after the show...also my mom dropped by with an intense load of her homemade cookies!

...today the band had a special meeting with the record company to discuss the new songs. They are happy to report that the meeting went really well. While this wont be "for sure" till a lot more details are worked out, everything looks like they've got the green light to release weezer album #4 in May 2002!!
...I've now gotten word that the guys have not heard from Mikey in some time, and having no other option, are preparing to do the upcoming tour without him. Speculative talk of his return to L.A. turns out to be just that: speculation. I wish there was more to tell, but that's all we know at this point.
