...Rivers has been in the studio last week and continuing into this week, working on getting previously unreleased material chosen and ready for the world for the upcoming releases of "Pinkerton: The Deluxe Edition", and "Odds And Ends", a collection of perfectly good Weezer recordings that somehow never made it out before. Both of these releases are currently expected fairly early in the new year. This current studio work is the 'review, compare and tweak where needed' phase. Next comes mixing (where needs be) and sequencing, mastering, then finishing the artwork up. Both of these releases are going to be super cool!

...Sidney the Raditude Cover star pooch hasn't let fame go to his furry head. Today's pic shows him lounging with the cd that bears his photo, which was taken by his owner Jason Neely, originally for a National Geographic contest which he won.
Here's some thoughts on Sidney from Jason:
"Exuberant, thoughtful, manic, playful, and very, very quirky—all words that describe my dog, Sidney’s personality. One word encompasses all of them—not a word that I had heard before mid-August — that word is Raditude.
When I called my friend Jim to tell him that Weezer wanted to use the picture that I took of Sidney leaping through my living room for the cover of their newest album, he asked what the name of the album would be. I told him “Raditude.” There was a moment of silence on the line. Then laughter. He said he couldn’t think of a better word to describe Sidney.
From the time Sidney’s picture was published in the August 2009 issue of National Geographic, I’ve been getting emails from people sharing pictures of their dogs that look like Sidney. I’ve also had countless people ask what kind of dog Sidney is. Sidney is a rescue dog. Other than knowing that his mother was a Lab mix, we don’t have any clue what breeds are in him. His mother was pregnant and due to be put down. A couple of girls in Gainesville, FL took her home and raised the pups until they were old enough to be adopted. That's when we brought the crazy dog into our lives.
I think that the appeal of the photo I took of Sidney is two-fold. First, it captures his essential Raditudeness. The focused intensity of his leap freezes that moment of a transcendental high that everyone experiences in life—always in all too fleeting moments. The second part of the picture’s appeal is that Sidney could be any dog. He’s not a pure breed. He’s not a show dog. There are a lot of dogs that look like him, and because of that we can all relate to him. But, like many of us, Sidney is one unique guy. And he loves to show it." -Jason
Note that Mtv news will be running a piece on Sidney soon - you'll be able to see him in action!
...Buyers of the iTunes Pass version of Raditude: You may have noticed by now that for some reason iTunes Pass does not allow for a digital booklet. So we have provided one for you, in PDF format, on this page.
...Here's a review of Raditude from the perspective of the longtime Weezer fan. Justin Hoenke was into Weezer when many of you might not have even heard of them, so he has been through a lot of changes as weezer has thrown out its curve balls. He's got faith in weez as well as a critical eye, and his p.o.v. is interesting.
This evening as the first of 3 SoCal area instore singing sessions with Weezer, as we welcome their 7th album "Raditude" into the world. Today's signing was at the Hot Topic store in the Hollywood and Highland Mall, next door to the Kodak Theater and the Knitting Factory. There was a huge turn out, but Hot Topic was careful to set limits so that everyone in line could say hi to the band and get their item signed in the time alotted. Prior to the signing, the guys did an interview with a video crew from HotTopic.com, in which the new album was discussed as well as some rather goofy stuff.
Basically everything went really well, and a lot of people walked away with everything from copies of Raditude, to guitars, to old ticket stubs, to bizarre demonic wall plaques, to strange pictures, to t-shirts, to broken ukeleles, to intact ukeleles, and everything in beween signed by the band. If you can make it into the signings in Irvine tomorrow or Chino on Saturday, dont miss out! Here's the details:
Friday, Nov 6, 2009: 6pm - 8pm In Store Signing @ Tilly's Irvine Spectrum Irvine, CA

Yesterday (Sunday 11/1) was mostly a day of rest and recovery, except for Rivers, who made a special appearance at the Band Hero 'First To Play' event at the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza to celebrate the release of Band Hero. Rivers signed autographs for fans of Band Hero and Weezer for an hour, as the Band Hero game was officially launched for anxious fans. Note that Rivers appears in the new Band Hero commercial that is launching 11/3, which also features Taylor Swift, Travis Barker, and Pete Wentz.
Today we headed down to Mtv Studios in a different part of Times Square to do the Alexa Chung show. Via our mailing list, 35 fans were picked to come attend this show, which some have likened to a 21st century TRL, only with fashonista Alexa at the helm, so a decidedly different vibe was in effect than in the old Carson Daley days. This is a live show, so there was a lot of hustling and "3,2,1.." type stuff going on from the behind the scenes people. Lots of hurrying up and here comes the cameras. After a guy from the new "V" TV show was interviewed and some sort of recurring Lady Gaga lookalike contest was underway, it turned to Weezer at last. The guys performed their new single "I Want You To" with their buddies Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet and Nat Wolff of the Naked Brothers Band helping out on guitars. Leighton Meester was originally going to appear in the duet with Rivers as she had at Hammerstien, but was unable to make it in time so Rivers handled the whole thing himself. As Josh Freese was already back in L.A. for some Devo duty (now for the future), Pat handled the drums, and with the guys in their 50's video outfits, it looked a lot like the video. They sounded excellent as well, it was a good sounding small studio room. See the performance here on Mtv.com.
