kirbypuckett Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Looks like a handful of us boardies are big on Weezer. An article on Weezer from Rolling Stone just went up on Pitchfork: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/46465-rivers-cuomo-dishes-on-new-weezer-lp-ialonei-demos Basically, the new Weezer LP is finished being recorded and his solo disc will feature a handful from SFTBH and a total of 18 tunes. You've already run your red Sharpie outta ink drawing hearts around December 11 on your "Faces of Brian Bell '07" calendar; for that, of course, is the day Alone, Rivers Cuomo's collection of solo demos, hits shelves thanks to Geffen.But one gets the feeling that, sometime in 2008, you're gonna wail on another writing implement anew, as the next album from the 100% not broken up Weezer is apparently nearing completion. RollingStone.com recently spoke with the band's most esteemed dweeb, who claims the band is "done recording" their follow-up to 2005's Make Believe, and "just waiting to find a mixer" for their "very fresh and experimental" forthcoming LP. There's still no release date set for the disc, but Rick Rubin has been attached as producer. While they were at it, RS.com squeezed a bit more out of Rivers regarding Alone. Apart from a demo of "Buddy Holly" and a cover of Ice Cube's "The Bomb" (sample lyric: "still dropping more shit than a pigeon"), the disc is comprised of several tracks from the unfinished space rock concept album/musical Songs From a Black Hole, which Cuomo planned as a follow-up to the band's blue-hued debut. The rest of the disc's roughly 18 tracks will be made up of demos from the last decade and a half from the Cuomo backlog. I hope the catchy, lovelorn one makes the cut!

kirbypuckett Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 I would hope Rick Rubin never turns anyone on. The song 'Rick Rubin' by Spankrock is so hot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
