2012/11/08 Hollywood, FL: Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
...Today we reunite with our "90's modern rock" brothers, Ash for a 4 show mini tour in Florida, where we last played with them way back in '96 on the Pinkerton Tour. We last saw Tim Wheeler at the Nano-Mugen Festival last summer, and the last time the 2 bands crossed paths was some Euro festivals in '02 or so. But as far as sharing the stage, this is the first time in a long time, and we couldnt be happier to see them again.
Tonights show and tomorrows in St. Petersburg are regular rock shows, and the 2 nights in Orlando are Memories shows, one devoted to Blue, the next to Pinkerton. There will be some major deja-vu that last night, with Ash playing and then Weezer playing Pinkerton - we will be right back in December '96.

...today was a relatively quiet day. The only actual music playing that went on was with Scott, who was holed up back at the studio polishing up his bass parts on the new recordings. Next comes guitars and vocals, but time is running short with the tour (tour!? ...excellent, Smithers...) coming up. Tomorrow (Saturday) there is a photo shoot, after which the recording is set to continue...
...okay, today was the fan-created "International Weezer T-Shirt Day". not all the stories were sucess stories, but it was great that folks got out there and showed their colors... "I was at one of the largest malls in New York, The Palisades in Nyack. Sadly though, there were only 2 Weezer shirts walking around and they were on the bodies of me and my best friend. Its ok though, because we represented Weezer proudly, walking around the mall singing the lyrics of Undone, Buddy Holly, and Island In The Sun. It was a great day to be a Weezer fan, and I look forward to the next one." Tommy, Mt. Vernon, NY...."National Weezer T-Shirt day didnt go over big in my school, in fact i was the only kid with anything weezer on. But it was announced on 92.3 Kroc radio here New York. It'll be bigger next year!" Jared - Long Island ...it's really nice to see the peeps representing!
...Euro-MTV2 is broadcasting a half hour of Weezer live on Monday, November 12th Nov at 9:00pm, followed by an hour of Weezer choosing their favourite videos.
...and in other news, "VH1 Classic" is a pretty cool station. Where else can you see old Rush videos?

2012/11/09 St. Petersburg, FL: The Mahaffey Theater
...We travelled by bus overnight to the mellow, stylish burg of St. Petersburg, on Florida's West coast, and got some z's, rising today to a gloious fall day here in Florida. We headed over to the very nice Mahaffey Theater, whose backstage halls are festooned with posters of all the classy productions of musicals and Lord of the Dance and such that have been here over the years. Its nice to know Weezer is in a place where we belong. 
Ash is soundchecking and all is well. Its been many years since we played this area, so were looking forward to reuniting with the west coast Floridians!

Howdy, all! The new Weezer video, "Perfect Situation", debuts tomorrow, Friday Nov 11th! It will be getting an "All Day Premiere" on Mtv2, playing more than once an hour all day long. And online, it debuts on yahoo.com! Whether you tune in or browse over or both, come check it out!
The video was shot several weeks ago in downtown L.A. with Mark Webb directing. Mark has done a lot of sharp looking videos recently, including My Chemical Romance's "Helena", and "Perfect Situation" continues his string of excellent work. "Perfect Situation" features guest star Elisha Cuthbert (seen in "24", "House Of Wax", "Old School" and more) in a rocking role, and asks more from the weezer men than just about any previous weezer video has. And they deliver!
The video will be available on Weezer.com's Media page soon, but for now check Mtv2 and yahoo.com.
The "Perfect Situation" single has gone to radio and is rising fast on the charts already - Show your support of this great song and call your local radio station to request it! And if you have already been doing this, thank you very much!

2011/11/10 Rivers announces Pinkerton Diaries / Alone 3 Pre-order
Over on Rivers' site Riverscuomo.com, dont miss the news that The Pinkerton Diaries is at last ready for pre-order! The ordering page is there too of course, with a full description and photos that show all the book's amazing details, including various ordering packages that include special exclusive items. The 1st 500 orders also get an exclusive poster signed by Rivers! And of course The Pinkerton Diaries includes "Alone 3", Rivers' 3rd album of his old unreleased demo recordings. This one is especially cool in that it includes the remaining unreleased portion of his "Songs From The Black H***" demos, as well as "The Fulton Avenue Suite", a set of demos he recorded while he and I lived on Fulton Street in the San Fernando Valley in spring 1994, in an apartment with no furniture that was oddly unscathed by the nearby catastrophic Northridge Earthquake, which struck the day before we moved in there.
This is a very special book that was painstakingly put together with utmost care. Check it out...

2012/11/10 Orlando, FL: Hard Rock Live
...After a not very long post show bus ride, we arrived in Orlando late last night to rest up for a pair of Memories shows here in Orlando, one for the Blue album, one for Pinkerton. The original Memories Tour never made it down to this neck of the woods, so we're very excited to finally deliver the full measure of the classic weez plus the hits and rarities to the Golden Floridian Empire. So far this mini tour with Ash has been great, so these 2 nights in Orlando are bound to be a treat.

...well, In case youve been napping, we've got a new Mp3 for you , direct from the 3rd show at the Viper Room on 11/8! Check out the "Audio Video" section for "My Weakness" (338) !
...today was a fairly quiet day of packing up for tomorrow's travel up to Portland to start the Extended Midget Tour. To answer some questions, It does indeed look like this tour will be a "Portland to Portland" affair, that is, we dont expect to add more dates in 2001 after the Portland, Maine show. The plan is to return to LA in mid December and get back to work on the current crop of recordings, working into January 2002 with a break for the holdiays in the middle. What will happen to these new recordings once theyre finished? Good question. I'm not exactly sure at this point...
...songs stuck in our heads these days: "Limelight" by Rush, "Little Green Apples" by the Temptations, and anything off "Electric Warrior" by T.Rex.

Yes, its now well past Halloween, but as Johnny Cash said, "I dont like it but i guess things happen that way."

2012/11/11 Orlando, FL: Hard Rock Live: Memories Pinkerton
...Night two of the Florida Memories duo was one for all time. 16 years (!) after we teamed up with Ash in Florida back in 12/96 on the Pinkerton Tour, all the pieces of that 90's puzzle were back in play, probably only a few miles from where it had all gone down before. Only this time Ash had more than '1977' to draw off of for their setlist, While weezer specifically played only their '96 album, plus a set of hits and rarities. For the second night I did my best to share some of the old school history with a Pinkerton themed slideshow during the intermission. When the final set started, the giant Hiroshige (Pinkerton cover) backdrop was revealed and set the mood properly - for the rock, the sadness, and the triumph of that crazy little 90's album that means so much to so many, done up live and furious. The crowd went bananas. Thank you Ash, and thank you Orlando!

...in other news, heres some fans' reports from around the nation:
note, all the fan's news reports have been movd to a new page designed especially for them. Fans' news page ...If you have interesting local weezer news (radio/tv/newspaper/school events, etc), email karl with them, and (most likely) they will be put up on this new page!)
...so, anyone in L.A. see the new 2001 KROQ Calendar? Supposedly, weezer is in it. A while ago, we turned in a photo that I shot (you'll recognize it if you see it), and they said they were going to put it in... anyone?
...also, I finally got some info on some more mp3 songs that are NOT weezer, thanks to Scott Sussman for figuring this one out. I guess theres a 12 song group of mp3s out there that are labeled "new weezer album". the titles of the songs are: Rig It Up, Somewhere (feat. Eddie Vedder), Rainbow of Love, The Good Times, Betsy, A Song About You, Mad Cow Disease, Jean Baptiste, No Other Girl, Elvis Presley, Red Cirle, Why Can’t You. Some of the songs are actually by the band Pavement, from their album "Slanted and Enchanted," made in 1992. Other ones (sorry ive never checked to see which ones were which) are by a band called Ibold Train. However the mp3 song titles are made up, in other words, they are just the Pavement and Ibold Train songs renamed.
...and while we're at it, "Mrs. Robinson" is the Lemonheads covering Simon and Garfunkel, and "Brown Eyed Girl" is a Van Morrison song, I dont know if this mp3 is the original or some other band covering it.

...today was a travel day, under unsettling circumstances. Its especially unnerving these days to hop on a plane shortly after news like today's terrible accident in Queens, NYC. Our sympathies go out to the victims, and to NYC which has taken far too much greif of late. Our own travel was uneventful, save for the random bag searches (folks, these days it pays to leave that polka dot underwear at home, because chances are a total stranger with white gloves will be sifting through your luggage while everyone looks on!)(not that i actually have any polka dot underwear...i hope!)
...got a bunch of questions regarding the autographed cd's now available in the online store. Are they real autographs? Yes, they are real autographs, hand signed by each member individually. Which bass player signed them? Scott. Do these facts also apply to the autographed cd's available at the merch stand on tour? yes.
...HBO Reverb data, regarding the broadcast of the 10/24 Goat Punishment show at The Knitting factory: It will be airing this coming wednesday, 11/14, at 8 PM, and will be reshown through the entire weekend. Also, see the Reverb site for more.

...the serious work continues...the guys have been putting in 18 hour days, working constantly on new songs and recording demos of them. Two of these, "The Christmas Song" (an earlier mix of which was already sent to KROQ for the Kevin and Bean CD) and a new one "Christmas Celebration", were polished up and given to Geffen for a special promo-only holiday season CD. Needing pictures for the cover, we took a bunch of crazy shots of the guys in Santa suits. In a few days Geffen is sending this cd out to tons of radio stations around the country as a "Christmas card", so if you want to hear this stuff, be sure and call up your local radio stations and request "the Christmas Song" by weezer!
On Wednesday, the president of Geffen Records is coming over to Rivers's house to watch the rehersal and hopefully give the band the "green light" for the new album. Weezer doesnt know him very well yet, but does know that he signed Limp Bizkit to Interscope, and hasn't paid much attention to weezer through much of 2000 beacuse he was so busy with Limp Bizkit...Hopefully he likes what he hears on Wednesday!
...also, when we said that the Clovis, CA show back in September was the "last weezer show in 2000", well, we might have been fibbing by accident. Theres talk now of doing 2 big shows in the near future, possibly even within a month. I literally have been forbidden from saying any more on the subject, but I assure you that you guys will be the first to know the details...
oh, and thanks for the flood of "local radio weezer news" reports that youve sent in- I will be putting up some more of these shortly...

...today we went over to Glenn Sound Studios in Seattle, where the guys recorded 3 songs for 107.7 The End. They knocked out about 5 or 6 takes of each song before they had a version they were happy with, then all the guitar and vocal overdubs were added. The whole session was about 6 hours long, and went pretty smooth after some initial technical glitches. Todays recordings:
* Cygnus X-1 (346)
* Space Rock (344)
* Slave (354)
107.7 should be playing some or all of these on the air at some point. This is part of a series of these special sessions they do with various bands.
Later at a restaurant, there was some questionable live entertainment, kind of a free form Andean guitar/abstract jazz/conga drum freakout, that somehow sounded like a broken record. They were fakin' the funk.
