Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo to Release Solo Demos, Really Long Book

10/16/07, 3:01 pm EST


OK, so Albumsix.com ended up being (as of now) a bust, but there is new semi-Weezer music to report on. Rivers Cuomo has told seventy-two of his closest friends on his personal MySpace blog that he plans to release, via Geffen Records, a collection of solo demos he recorded between the years 1992 and 2007. You know the MySpace page is legit and not some imposter fan because MySpace founder Tom left a comment on Rivers’ page, and Tom doesn’t leave a comment for just anyone. Alone – The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo will be released, according to Cuomo and confirmed by Geffen, on December 11th.

Cuomo was originally planning to issue his first book to coincide with the recordings, but he has separated the two projects. The book, which is nearly 400 pages at this point, will come in at a “much later date — a year? Two years? Three years? I don’t know.” Meanwhile on the Weezer front, there are vague “developments, which are also extremely great.” We reported earlier in the year that the band would likely release their follow-up to 2005’s Make Believe in Spring 2008, so Albumsix.com might be going active in no time.

the sweater song and buddy holly were really great songs. a refreshing change from all the depressing grunge movement!!!!!!! the whole WEEZER 1 was a great pop record, really. It also was produced by the great Ric Ocasek!
