weezer Had the great pleasure of seeing @officialjackwhite last night in the Huntsville house! Rivers complemented both of his new albums, to which Jack said “I hope my kid was listening to you say that!” (He was) (Major artists being validated in their kids’ eyes via weezer seems to be a thing - Henry Winkler said it first, way back in ‘94!) …The White Stripes shared the stage with weezer at Spaceland on 6/21/00, but they weren’t well known till the following year. And weezer cut a 7” of “Suzanne” in the antique recording booth at Third Man Records several years back (the one of a kind recording is still on their wall! Or at least it was). So it was awesome to connect up with Jack once again, at the very first night of the #indierockroadtrip !! #karlscorner #deadleavesandthedirtyground

Hey now.. well, pat has posted more accurate SG show info over at the special goodness website, so go there for the latest details on that. Also, There is an excellent interview with Pat, Mikey and Lee of the S.G. , from the San Diego show in March. The interview was done by Claire Caraska, who was one of the original fanclubbers (#51!?!), and is the "poor girl" in the picture at the top of the March SG tour diary page. (see below for the link to that, its a pic of a red hat....)
Please, click here to go over to MusicRag.com and read this cool interview.
Also, Ive been getting tons of email from folks who are somehow convinced that i know more about the upcoming tour schedule than what is posted on the RWA news page. Well.... i don't. sorry.
Coming shortly: a small (but guarenteed to grow) gallery of rare weezer pictures from all time periods, of both people, paraphenalia, and equipment.

Today's show was truly an adventure! The contest winners were directed to a "secret location", namely a pier on the Hudson River side of Manhattan. Meanwhile, all the gear and everything had been set up on a medium-size cruising boat (i dont know the terms- it looked bigger than a yacht, but wasn't like the "Love Boat" or anything. Well, actually, there was a lotta love on that boat! The guys soundchecked, the winners boarded, the boat launched, and we started on a long journey halfway around Manhattan and back. Due to the low cieling and lack of stage, the people in front were asked to sit down so the people way in back could see the band. After a round of old hits from Queen over the P.A., the guys took the, uh, carpet, and rock was achieved.
Today's performance of "Undone" had a special "guest rapper", namely Tim "Speed" Levitch, an old aquaintance of the band who is possibly the oddest, yet most interesting person in New York. Tim's "sweater rap" is featured on the '96 Y-100 Sonic Sessions acoustic Undone, and he performed his Undone meltdown at several shows back in '97, so this isnt the first time Tim has joined the guys to weird things up. (Adventurous types should go rent the documentary film "The Cruise" for an in-depth look at this hombre...)
Todays show also featured the brand new songs "Burnt Jamb" and "Keep Fishin'", to the obvious delight of the fans.
Before the show the guys were interviewed at length for Mtv.com. Im not sure when this will become available nor in what format yet, but it was a pretty good group interview...Unfortunately, however, the interviewer asked the guys about their recent split with their management. While the guys knew that this type of thing would be asked about sooner or later, it still served as a painful reminder of the worries that are on everyone's mind at this point. The guys are realy hoping that everything somehow turns out ok in the end...

This show, the last of the wild and weird "Hooptie Tour", was also one of the biggest for contest winners. 102.1 gave away about 2000 tickets, many to people who went to bizarre and extreme lengths to get them! This show was also different in that it was closer to a full show's length, I'm not sure how long it was, but the setlist was beefed up and included a whopping 5 brand new songs in the middle! They were "December", "American Gigolo", "Burndt Jamb", "Keep Fishin'" and "Saturday Night". The show was at Ontario Places "Island Club", whose stage is surrounded by a moat of sorts, and the guys travelled from dressing room to stage in a nice little dinghy. And on top of it all, it was an absolutely beautiful day, just right for the "Island in the Sun" theme.

Karl's Corner - 06/09/2001

Today was our last day in America, and there was SO much to get done before we left. In the midst of this, Pat and Rivers went down to the Much Music studios in downtown Toronto to do a live on-air interview. The studio was totally surrounded by a ravenous hoarde of weezer fans, who were all vying for a chance to see/meet the band. Only a small amount of people are let inside for the filming of these things, and anyone else who wishes to watch must stay outside.
The guys were told the segment would be 30 minutes including the airing of 2 weezer videos. The live interview went very well, and they were then immediately hustled into a closed studio to do a second, private taped interview. Some folks have written in that they were outside and were disappointed that the guys didnt come out to sign autographs, but the Much Music people didnt indicate that there was any time to do that. Many fans who were outside seemed to have the impression that maybe weezer was going to come outsde or something, but Pat and Rivers were never told that this was a possibility.
Also, it seems Much couldn't make up their minds what they wanted weezer to do. At first they asked for a live performance, but didn't deliver a contract for this till the night before, and it was a lame contract that weezer was urged not to sign, as it gave Much rights to the performance footage that were unfair. Coincidentally (and something I was not made aware of till later on), Brian had picked up an ear infection a few days previous, and this had in turn attacked his throat the morning of the Much event. So, while for a little while it looked like the band and Much could work out the differences and do the originally scheduled performance, Brian was just totally unable to perform this day, and felt pretty bad all the way to the airport later on. So the plans were changed into the interview, which turned into the "public" interview, and then the "private" one. In any event, time was terribly limited, unfortunately, and the guys never had any opportunity to meet fans on this day.
After that was wrapped up, everyone packed up back at the hotel, and we headed to the airport. We caught a 10 PM Air Canada flight to London, arriving about 10 AM on the 10th. most of the band got a little sleep on the flight, but not me, I just wasnt tired...and so we began the "Euro Freak Out Tour" 2001!

...MB '05 Tour: Day 29: Paris, France - day off
a very rare true day off, no travel whatsoever - and in Paris on a warm sunny day, you gotta get out there and check things out! Many many miles were walked today by everyone (save for Rivers who decided to go to Vienna a day early) (I said it before, I'll say it again, tours are more complicated then they appear), as the sights were seen, the art appreciated, the cathedrals photographed and the utterly delicious food consumed.
One of my 3 personal epic walks today was with Pat, and a funny thing happened at the Plaza de la Concorde, as we were crossing the very wide street, we saw a minivan parked on the median and a lady standing there in distress. Though there was a Franco-American language gap, she flagged us over and asked for help, as her front tire had a blowout and she didnt know how to change it. An elderly wonam who we presumed to be her mother was in the van as well. Pat said something like "hell, tires are the same everywhere, lets do it!", and so we changed her tire, and they were very happy. The woman then forced us to take 30 euros in gratitude, no matter how we protested! So, unable to give it back to her, off we went, eventually spending it on Louvre tickets and crepes.

...Weezer and plant life: a true story...
"We are two students at Brown Middle School in Madison, CT who, in science class, were forced to do an experiment on plants. So we thought, why not make it interesting. We decided to have the plants listen to music, we had one listen to Eminem, and the other listen to Weezer. We also had a control [plant]. The weezer plant listened to many of your songs such as Beverly Hills, Island in the sun, and say it ain’t so. After about a week of 10 minutes of music a day and watering every other day, the results were quite astounding. The weezer plant grew 5 out of 5 seeds into plants each with two leaves, the Eminem plant hardly even sprouted and the control only sprouted 2 out of 5 seeds. This was fascinating to us and we felt obliged to send this information to you." ---Blake Brucher and Kipp Milone

2012/06/09 Show Day: Dallas, TX: Cotton Bowl: H20 Festival
Today Team Weezer converged on Dallas' venerable Cotton Bowl, to perform in the Univision H20 festival.
Today's line up is an interesting mix of artists. The intention of the people putting on the festival was to alternate between English and Spanish speaking artists, though how Tiesto fits into that, we're not exactly sure. But it will be fun going on right after the always excellent Snoop Doggy Dogg. Other artists today include Yelawolf, Prince Royce, Duelo, Paulina Rubio, Gym Class Heroes, Damian Marley, Juanes, Mana, Tiesto, Ozomatli, Ramon Ayala, amd Intocable.
Its hot out there, and the gang is getting ready to rock it right...

"Weezer played their new song 'Hash Pipe' last night to many screaming fans
at the MTV Movie Awards. This sets a new record, as it marks the first time
in 4 years that MTV has played real music." -Craig Kilborn 
Upon landing in England, we had just enough time to drop off our luggage at the hotel, before heading over to a television studio to shoot the guys playing "Hash Pipe" for a show called "T4". The show is a kind of variety show that runs on Sundays and features everything from regular soap operas to, well, bands. The Stereophonics were doing their segment when we arrived, and by viewing them we realized that this was one of those "play along with the album" type gigs, like shooting a video, sort of. Everyone was tired as hell and getting a bit delirious, so they kind of just waltzed up on stage and "banged it out", and it turned out really well! Then it was finally time for food and long jet-lag naps.

...MB '05 Tour: Day 30: Nickelsdorf, Austria - Nova Rock Festival
Due to there being no hotel available anywhere near the festival, which is waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere about an hour or two away from Vienna, the decision was made to stay in Paris until show day (except for Rivers who decided to stay in Vienna and meet up with the rest of us at the festival), and therefore we ended up again flying on the day of the show. Upon landing at Vienna airport, we were whisked into vans and off we went into the beautiful Austrian countryside. Today the weather was quite chilly, not to mention overcast, windy and occasionally rainy. Quite a contrast from sunny Paris! Somehow European festivals bring out the heroic nature in both fans and the bands, enduring freakish weather and strange conditions, gaining strength from the camaraderie that only a muddy field out in the Austrian countryside can provide!
The festival was chock full of metal and hard rock bands today (day 2 of a 4 day festival), and in fact weezer were playing right before the mighty (and mighty strange) Marilyn Manson. Having not been to Austria since the Pinkerton tour in August 1996, and being sandwiched between some pretty tough bands, there was some trepidation that they might not be too welcome here. In the back of my mind, I was holding onto some hope, however, as I recalled that Make Believe debuted here in the top 20. The fears (of tossed bottles and mud) were instantly put to rest when the band hit the stage, where they recieved one of the warmest welcomes of the tour from a giant crowd of possibly 10 or 15 thousand wet and muddy festival goers, who seemed estatic to catch the weez. The band turned in another solid and super tight performance, electrifying the crowd.

2012/06/10 Show Day: Cedar Rapids, IA: Downtown: Rockin The Rapids
Today weezer played a outdoor festival in downtown Cedar Rapids, the Rockin The Rapids Music Festival. We followed several other bands including Tonic, Fuel, Filter and Chevelle (they seemed to have a muscle car theme going on today, up till when weezer took the stage). It was a hot and windy day with the streets blocked off, lotsa port a potties in rows, barbeque huts, tents, folding chairs, drunk people getting rowdy, a PTSD meltdown or two, and a generally disorganized and unruly feel prevailing throughout the afternoon. Things seemed to settle down a bit in time for weezer's set, when the crowd coalesced into a unified music frenzy, including shoulder riding bikini clad rock chicks, little kids freaking out, and one shoe wearing crowdsurfers, both male and female. The rock was strong today.

Later everyone went out to eat at "Mr. Chow", and fancy Chinese style food was consumed in mass quantities.
