Rivers Cuomo's "Let's Write A Sawng" Track Surprisingly Better Than Most Of "Red Album" [Do Your Research, Shutton!]
Published 6/25/2008 by Anthony Miccio at Idolator
The NME is awfully excited about the leaked Weezer track "Turnin' Turnin'," which appeared online without warning today. "The backdrop for the YouTube video shows the cover of the band's recent self-titled album, known as The Red Album, suggesting that the new song may be recent!" Yup, and if they'd checked out Rivers Cuomo's "Let's Write A Sawng" Web experiment, they'd know that "Turnin' Turnin'" is something he and his fan club have been working on for months. Almost as sad as the NME's lack of awareness is that the song, while lyrically thumbsucky ("You say I should go to school / hey man, back up, cuz you ...

Weezer, All American Rejects, Virgin Fest Let Fans Call the Shots
Published 6/25/2008 by Rolling Stone at Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily
Perhaps Rivers Cuomo should collaborate with the YouTube nation more often. The fan-assisted song “Turnin’ Turnin’” hit the internet today, which was the result of Cuomo’s call to the fans for songwriting advice. The surprisingly tight, catchy track would have fit right in on “The Red Album” and is certainly better than “Everybody Get Dangerous.” Click above for the full tune. But Weezer aren’t the only band looking to their followers for guidance. Oklahoma pop-punkers the All-American Rejects have tapped an ...

Weezer Posts Song Co-Written by YouTubers
Published 6/26/2008 at Cinema Blend Music
Weezer Posts Song Co-Written by YouTubers We all like rebels. Admit it. Especially when one emerges from the kicked-around kid who once tried to make everybody happy. There isn’t much that’s more fun to watch than the uncooperative underdog flustering persons of authority. Take poetic indie-hero Rivers Cuomo, who seemingly in response to label pressure to make himself as teen-idol as possible, decided instead to sport a moustache, trucker hat and knee-length socks. Possibly in an attempt to have fun while making things confusing for his record label, Rivers (or River, as he is now going by) recently posted a song he co-wrote with fans via ...

By Vadim Rizov I went back to my hometown of Austin for a few days last week, something I do twice a year to catch up with a few folks who haven't moved, and also to eat BBQ and Tex-Mex (a decent fall-back if you're in the area and short on time, but featuring one of the worst websites known to man: if you click on that, be prepared to hear uber-hack Pat Green singing "Have some tacos and beer and let ourselves go." Tacos and beer! Sodom trembles.). Since I stopped buying CDs pretty much when I got to college, everything I have back home is an automatic nostalgia trip: I will never know any albums as well as I ...
