Karl's Corner - 04/06/2001

...On Monday and possibly continuing Tuesday, the band will be shooting their new video for "Hash Pipe", with director Marco Siega. I've only heard fragments of the video concept, so I'm keeping quiet about that. Later in the week, everyone is regrouping and we go to Japan, to start the next wave of touring!
...Some fans have been hearing and requesting the first single "Hash Pipe" already! Apparently WHFS in DC was so flooded with requests thats is already #7 on their "most wanted" list! The WHFS DJ apparently said "it sounds like weezer grew up and grew a set of balls. that song rocked!" Also fans in LA have heard it on KROQ, and on Y-100 in Philly it was the "play of the day"! Any station that hasnt played it yet should have the single shortly, so dont be afraid to let 'em know you want to hear it!
...just a quick tour date update newsflash: the good news is that tickets sold so fast for the first 2 London shows at Shepard's Bush, that a 3rd show has been added on July 5! Hopefully more details about the UK/Europe tour(s) will be available soon...
...the bad news is that contrary to what I was informed of before, weezer will not be playing on the Warped Tour this summer. The band apologizes for psyching anyone up inadvertantly. However, please note that the band is definately going to be touring all summer, so USA/North American dates are definately going to be happening, whether as a headliner or as part of a package or both. But..... no Warped.

UPDATE 4/9
Hey check out Rivers' YouTube Channel and/or Weezer's YouTube channel for a wicked behind the scenes video of the recording of Rivers doing "What If God Was One Of Us" with Joe LoPiccio and Rainn Wilson for the upcoming Sirius Radio takeover show!
...Coming up in just a few days is the Rivers and Jason Schwartzman takeover on Sirius Radio's Alt-Nation channel. Here's the details:
Alt-Nation Sirius#21 - XM#47
April 10- Rivers Cuomo and Jason Schwartzman on Alt-Nation! (8pm eastern 5pm pacific)
Re-broadcast Saturday, April 11th 3pm & 9pm; Sunday, April 12th 9am & 6pm; Monday, April 13th 3am.
In conjunction with this, there are as many as 7 (? tbd) cool Rivers/Jason/Rainn Wilson related video clips that will be hitting online around the time of the show. Good behind the scenes action. We'll update you with when/where details as they come in. Pitchfork coverage; Rolling Stone coverage.
...Update on the Rivers "Not Alone" hootenanny style live CD, and full show DVD, recorded last December at an in-store at Fingerprints Records in Long Beach. These items will be available at most if not all independant music stores, as well as the Fingerprints online store (preorder CD, DVD) and junketboy.com. Due out on on April 28th.
...Red Album Deluxe Edition on vinyl finally available!
We had to wait out the winter for this one, but its now available at select outlets. This 2 LP set contains the full 14 song USA Deluxe Edition tracklist, mastered especially for vinyl and pressed by the experts at RTI. The vinyl is 180 gram virgin wax, and by spreading the tracklist over 2 LPs we have maxed out the hi-fidelity possibilities. In other words, these suckers sound nice. The packaging is deluxe too, with a heavy cardboard gatefold jacket with a huge photo collage on the inside. the liner notes, more photos and credits are on plastered on the 2 full color inner sleeves. This pressing was limited to a little over 2000 copies, so if you like weezer and vinyl, now is the time to step up!
Red Album deluxe vinyl is avail online at: Insound, Interpunk, and Fingerprints. It will shortly also be on the UK site eil.com.
Weezer tribute band alert!
Raleigh, NC: “Destroy All Sweaters” is playing Friday, April 10th at The Pour House Music Hall in Raleigh, NC.
Honolulu, Hawaii: "Goat Punishment" (tribute band, not "THE" GP) is playing April 11th and 25th. Lance says: "The reception in Hawaii has been phenomenal so far. Last night alone we had 200 people. The crowd really loves the flying W guitar I built.."
...6 degrees of Watchmen/Factory Girl/Weezer, from observant fan Sal: "In the movie "Watchmen" the character Nite Owl is portrayed by one Patrick Wilson. Now Weezer's Patrick Wilson played John Cale in Factory Girl. Lyrics from John Cale’s “Sanities” appear in the title and the end quote of Chapter XII of the Watchmen comic series: 'It would be a stronger world, a stronger loving world, to die in.'"
...todays photo is a cool tattoo somewhere on weez fan Will Sherburne.

...more recording news: Saturday: Spirits are running high, it sounds like the troops are stoked and continue the current tradition of working hard while having some fun in the process. More work was done on "Mo’ Beats" (372), including some rather unusually recorded vocals from Scott! This song is getting some interesting comments from within the camp already, though I haven't heard it yet so I won't comment, myself. They also worked more on"Booby Trap" (373), as well as started two new songs entitled "Steamroller Action" (376) and a pretty ballad-ish song called "Queen of Earth" (362). Foozball happened. Top quality web surfing occured. Brian was spending a lot of time on vocals, possibly putting in some more time on "Yellow Camaro", which he wrote and sings lead on.
...The guys saw their cover piece in Ice magazine for the first time today, and were rolling on the floor over Scott's quote, which he doesn't even recall saying! (in reference to Maladroit: "You start off, everything’s kind of cool, you see some bumps ahead, you go to hell, you’re on the way out, you kind of see there’s some light at the end of the tunnel, then you get the s**t kicked out of you again, then you’re at home, you’re in heaven and it’s beautiful. Then you cry and go to sleep.")
...tomorrow (Monday) is the "Dope Nose" video shoot! Everyone's pretty excited at the prospect of stunts, motorcycles and drag racing for a day.
...lastly, we're aware of some message board /mailing list problems. our tech guys are on it so hold the emails. thanks! :) 
...from Saturday (4/6)..thanks to Sarah for supplying recording pix and details!...

...there is currently a server problem with weezer.net email. I havent been able to recieve anything on that account since early Sunday, so if you were expecting a reply to anything urgent, I am sorry, i havent gotten your letter yet. I am still waiting for some new configuration info to get it back to normal.
...I just did a bunch of updating over on the recording history pages. Outside of catching up from Spring 2000 till now (admittedly a big section, but it should be worked on very soon) and a few minor things here and there, its as far as it can go without new info coming to light. Anyway theres lots of new details tucked in here and there, check it out if you like trivial info!

...today was the "Dope Nose" video shoot! I'm still waiting on word on how it went and what went down, etc. Should have more info soon...
...4/7 Sunday recording info:
Today saw a more experimental side of the weez coming out. First some tweaks and ideas tried out on several recent songs such as "Steamroller Action" and "Queen of Earth", (AKA "Dirt Queen" according to Scott! heh heh). Then some new experimentations, first working on a new song by Pat called "The Story Is Wrong", which Pat sang and played drums on at the same time. Then they tried another new song by Brian, a really heavy song called "Nice To Meet You", on which Brian sang lead. The comments floating around after that song was laid down were ones of suprise at the unexpected "Tool-ish" flavor of Brian's new material. Also discussed was general agreement over the proliferation of good new songs, and that it was already looking like its gonna be tough to pare it all down to an album........also see =rwa= news!
...from Sunday (4/6)..thanks to Sarah for supplying recording pix and details!...

Oklahoma Shows Added: 9/13 Concho, OK + 9/14 Thackerville, OK
We haven't been to the center of the lower 48 states in a while, so we thought it was time to double down in Oklahoma! As they sang in the musical that the state was named after (or was it the other way around) ‘Oh, What a Beautiful Morning’ it will be on September 13 at the Lucky Star Casino in Concho, OK, not far from Oklahoma City. That’s because weezer fans will be waking up knowing the Weezer Rock Show will be there that evening. Then, on Sept 14th, we will be hitting the WinStar Casino in Dallas-adjacent Thackerville OK, where we previously rocked the house in 2011. See you soon!

...Hash Pipe is gaining steam! On Monday night it was #1 on the KROQ (L.A.) "Furious 5 at 9", having gotten the most requests! The DJ, "Stryker" was quoted as saying "God that song is good...that song is so good". Then today, on Tuesday they reportedly played it over 15 times!
...Meanwhile in Philadelphia, it has been put into the "cage match" on Y-100. It WON on Monday, and carried over to fight again today! How long can requesters keep it at the top of the Philly heap?
...today I spoke with Pat and Mikey, who were on the site of the video shoot for Hash Pipe. To loosely quote what Mikey told me: "we're sitting in a 'Minnie Winnie' motor home/dressing room, outside of a huge film studio in the Universal Studios back lot. Inside the studio, they have made everything up to look like a Sumo wrestling arena! We've been shooting band performances for the last 8 hours, and we are now awaiting the arrival of 5 500-pound real sumo wrestlers. God help us all!"
...I just put up fans' news reports page 8, take a look for some more cool stories!
...Late breaking and very suprising news: I have just learned at the last minute that I am not in fact accompanying the band to Japan for the 2 week tour. I am just as suprised as you, and there is no way around it I have learned. This means that I will be unable to shoot pictures and video on tour, and thus unable to post them with my updates here. BUMMER! ...However, you (anyone going to a show in Japan who can read this) can help! Send me your tour stories and observations, nightly setlist recollections, and whatever info you'd like to on your experiences in Japan with weezer, and I will piece together the info I get into new updates. If you can, include a photo (or two) you took at your show (or of the band if you saw them elsewhere that day), and please email your pics and stories to: this adress only. (while the server is still goofed up, Im not gonna take chances with the weezer.net mail address right now)...and THANKS!

(more soon)
...Well, hell. Looks like the Boston Globe changed their minds! Clearly there was no new Rivers interview in the 4/12 Boston Globe's Arts section. We now know that it has been "pushed back", but we dont know to what day yet. And still no word as to whether it will appear on the Globe's website yet.
We also hear that there will be yet another new Rivers interview in People magazine soon, in the issue coming out Friday, 4/21.
And theres a new short article on the latest in the "world o' Riv" in Boston Magazine online (apparently is not in the print edition however).

...Well the guys are in Japan now, doing several days of interviews and other promotional appearences before the tour starts this weekend. Apparently the Japanese album release will not be as early as originally announced, so the shows on this tour will not be showcasing as much new material as previously thought. Rivers called it "a sort of extended Outloud tour". I'm not sure of the new Japanese release date, it may be in early May now.
...Speaking of release dates, some folks have been writing me in a panic, having heard of further delays to the US release. I can assure you direct from the band itself that this is NOT so, and that may 15th is the date! It is true that the record label had tried to further push it back till June, but this did NOT go over well with the band...in a heated behind the scenes debate with some label higher-ups, the exasperated guys got their way, and May 15th stuck!
...oh yeah! Rivers had his own summary of the Hash Pipe video shoot as well. He said that everyone in the band was laughing so much due to what was going on around them (which i cant reveal at this point) that they had to re-shoot some scenes a bunch of times. Also he said that "if they edit this thing together the way they should, its going to be the most "weezer" thing we've ever done!"
...and in the "weird" dep't... last night a nearby lightning strike caused a power outage, which somehow fried the modem in my laptop. so I am temporarily working on my way-out-of-date iMac. There are probably some emails and website stuff stuck in the laptop that i cant upload or deal with till i pop in a new modem on the lil' sucker. This should be fixed by this weekend. till then, i can do the corner and respond to new email, but I'll be unable to (correctly) update other RWA pages and respond to emails more than 2 days old for a little while. (Aargh! if its not one darn thing its another!!!)

Today was a more mellow day in the studio. First they worked on 3 songs:
*Misstep (Version 3 with overdubs)
*367 (version 3)
*Superstar (version 2 with alternate drum patterns)
Then they had a long listening session, basically listening to their current tracks along with songs from their previous 3 albums, as well as a bunch of other bands current albums. Lots of discussion, comparisons of tones, production styles and whatnot.

* Mo Beats (version 3)
* Booby Trap (version 3)
* Prodigy Lover (version 3)
* Superstar (no recording, did a rough mix)
* 367 (no recording, did a rough mix)
In addition, a photographer from Venice Magazine came by and did a photo shoot with the band. This photographer has previously shot them back in 1996 (at the headlining show in the Ventura Theatre), so some "back in the days" talk was tossed around...
