Weezer – Riff Raff

Patrick posted a interesting picture of himself on what appears to be the set of Yo Gabba Gabba, the awesome television show warping your child’s mind.

As if Rivers working with Katy Perry, Jermaine Dupris, and Lil’ Wayne wasn’t enough, Weezer was joined by Kenny G and Chamillionaire for an AOL taping yesterday.

In other news, Weezer’s got some dates planned.
10/24 – Los Angeles, CA – Palladium (opening act: Wax!)
10/31 – New York, NY – Hammerstein Ballroom
12/1 – Chicago, IL – Aragon Ballroom
12/3 – Milwaukee, WI – Eagles Ballroom
12/5 – Toronto, ON – Air Canada Center
12/7 – Boston, MA – Agganis Arena
12/9 – Washington DC – Patriot Center
12/10 – Philadelphia, PA – Susquehanna Center

They promise more soon, we’ll see. I’m still waiting on a makeup for that St. Louis show that was canceled in last month.

The new single is out! It’s titled (If You’re Wondering if I Want You To) I Want You To. In other news, the Weezer/Blink tour began in Canadaland last night. Just a reminder, submit your show reviews and pictures to the Live Archive (link in the nav above). No new bootlegs have surfaced yet, but look for those at the ‘chive soon, too.

At the Fuji rock festival, Rivers mentioned that the new Weezer album will be released in October. See http://twitter.com/chocolate_disco/status/2853167511 for the original fan source.

It’s been announced that Weezer will be playing at the KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, CA on May 16th. This will be Weezer’s first show since October’s show in Atlanta. I expect it to be an emotional whirlwind. In other news, mp3s of Pat’s old band Suburban Advantage have been added back to the audio page.

Also, check out this 8bit cover of “You Won’t Get With Me Tonight” someone programmed. Awesome.
