Hey, remember when Rivers Cuomo was cool and inspired people to make alternative music? Well he's dead and gone and he's not coming back and even after the man tried to explain himself in his recent interview with Pitchfork, it just made it worse.
Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo will release a DVD later this month, featuring a performance recorded at Fingerprints record store in Long Beach, California.

He and Rivers Cuomo got together to cover Joan Osbourne's "One Of Us." I think it's funny that they're dubbing it a duet because all Rainn does is play the bongos. Some other guy (who is not credited, poor soul) does all the guitar work. Anyway, it's not a...

There's something about Rivers Cuomo that makes you want to love him. You can dislike Weezer and everything they've done (though you'd be a complete fool if this was the case) but you can't dislike the crazy man behind the music.
just added this little gem to my soundtrack (you know, for the movie that wes anderson is gonna direct). mmm lemonade. river's solo 'alone..." is pretty fun. a handful of solid tracks in all. im having a blast reading through the little booklet. commentary floods the insides more than lyrics, which is super duper sweet. its neat to hear about the songs and recording process directly from the ma...

The seemingly evergreen slate of Rivers projects got a re-up recently when Billboard sat with Mr. Cuomo to talk shop. First up, for Weezer fans, there's the tentatively titled Odds And Ends collection which will be just that: a selection of "great songs" spanning the band's career which "for some reason ... didn't make the final cut for [a] record."
