In addition, iPhoners will find six Weezer-c...

Alright Weezer fans, get your bookmarks ready. Speaking with Gigwise last week frontman Rivers Cuomo admitted that he is getting carried away with his memoirs and lovin' it. Originally slated for some 400 pages (no quick read by any means), Cuomo's memoirs are piling up to 8 tomes. “I’ve quite a lot of material collected now, I’m still working on most every day and I really enjoy it."

Usually the vibe in Decomposed is low key and fairly serious. That is, unless a Rivers runs through it. And after a year full of hootenannies , incongruous collaborations , and breaking world records , this is surprising absolutely nobody. A few weeks ago he put out a call for a pianist and an a cappella group to help decompose some tunes for us. Along with those folks, he brought a pretty en...

Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the Office) has great taste in music, as evidenced by many comments on his Twitter account and via interviews. 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...
