Last year, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo put out Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, a collection of rough demos that explored the outer reaches of Cuomo’s deep catalog. November 25th sees the release of Home II. Cuomo used to be known for throwing away a dozen songs for every one that made it onto an album, but now he’s mellowed. “I have this belief that it’s these real big inspirations that don’t come that often that actually produce the songs I like the best,” he explains. Click below for more from Cuomo, including what he thought of his most recent high school reunion and why he doesn’t want to tour by himself.
