05/15/08 the greatest mastering buzznet that ever blendered
...People: a reminder about the informative new interview up on Buzznet with Scott. Good stuff!
...Weezer was pleased and relieved to have finished mastering the new album yesterday. They shall sell no wine before it's time, and now all the audio details are set. Finally everything is turned in and assembly can begin at last. June 3, folks!!!
...in the June '08 Blender mag: a funny and informative interview with Pat!
...side note, just FYI: The current single is still "Pork And Beans"! Hear, request, rock out! Meanwhile "The Greatest man That Ever Lived" is our new iTunes single, and those are a bit different as they arent being sent to radio stations, etc. Well, enjoy 'em both!
...Rivers' reborn soccer career continued on May 10, when he was invited to play in the Britnight Showbiz Soccer Game at the Home Depot Center. Rivers again worked hard to prepare for the grueling match, and lots o' fun was had. Thats Rivers battling Welsh actor Michael Sheen in the photo above.
...New extra track info: The UK edition of the Red Album will contain the same 10 songs as the US edition, plus 2 cover songs: renditions of "Life Is What You Make It" by Talk Talk and "The Weight" by The Band. Out in UK 6/9 (digital), 6/16 (physical).
...New physical Deluxe Edition (CD) info: The (USA) Deluxe CD is now scheduled to come out on 6/3, BUT this is not confirmed - it may instead be the following week. We will know soon. Whats for sure is the deluxe edition comes with the additional 4 tracks in a wicked digipak sleeve with a huge booklet packed with exclusive info and beautiful art.
..."Greatest Man" iTunes single clarification: If you order the single now and want the whole album when it comes out, your iTunes will "know" you have it already, and the rest of the album will cost you a dollar less at that time. And if you already preordered the album on itunes and want the single now, you can do this without paying for it twice - Look in your itunes under "Automated Purchases" and it should show the single there for free download - because you already bought it by doing the presale. Or just go to the single page on iTunes and it should say its free for you. At least this is how iTunes explained it to us.

Note - the Deluxe edition of the album will be digital only initially. Collectors and completists may have to wait a while for everything to be available non-digitally. More info on this as it becomes available.
...Okay, so the 'Pork And Beans' video was shot from last Wednesday to Saturday, with director Matt Cullen and his amazing crew. Everybody involved did such a great job. Words are not really adequate to describe the things I saw those 4 fateful days. Suffice it to say that rules were broken and boundaries were pushed back! This video should be out sometime in the coming weeks. More details as they become available.
...Thanks to Meebo for a new Weezer branded chat room you can use on Weezer’s MySpace or Meebo.com!
...Plug 1: I saw The new film "The Dhamma Brothers" the other day at its L.A. premiere screening. This is the film that Rivers helped out with, about Vipassana meditation in an Alabama prison. Its a really beautiful film, so if you see a screening coming near you, be sure to check it out. It will be in DVD at some point too.
...Plug 2: Super long time weezer fan Justin H. has been making cool music of his own for some years now, and his band Zomo is releasing not one but two new albums. If you are into weezer, you'll probably dig this stuff!

05/06/08 the destiny of the pork and the bean
Scott Shriner did an interview with Warwick bass co., in which there is interesting discussion about making the new album, plus lots of other good stuff. Check it out!
A 'Pork and Beans' video will exist pretty soon. And other fun video items should be cropping up here on weezer.com in the coming weeks leading up to the new album release. More info asap.
There's a short but sweet article on Weezer's new album in the new Rolling Stone mag (print edition, dated 5/15).
Weezer as food art: Check out these very cool bento boxes made to look like the Pinkerton and Green Album covers. (scroll down a bit - all the bento rock covers are cool!)
International Release info: Its true that the new album will be released in Japan on 6/18. Why this happens with Japanese releases remains a bit of a mystery. Europe/UK/Australia and so forth we dont have dates yet, but they wont be much different than USA/Canada.
Still waiting for info regarding single formats and single import releases.
Looks like there will be a vinyl edition of the Red Album. No details yet.

Random plug dep't: "Phase 7" comics by Alec Longstreth. Alec is an OG weezer fan from the early days, an original '95 fanclubber and everything. He sent me some issued of Phase 7, and as a big indie comics fan I must say, his comics are excellent! Check them out!
