…and Rivers gotta get the hell outta Weezer.
Okay, it’s not like he’s making a mad dash for the exit or anything, but in an interview with MTV, River Cuomo – the frontman and songwriter behind Weezer – said there’s been no discussion about the band returning to the studio “Really, for the moment, we are done,” he said. “And I’m not certain we’ll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one.”
Perhaps it’s for the best. 2005’s Make Believe was alright – in particular, “This Is Such A Pity” made my list of Best Songs of the Year – but it was ultimately underwhelming and in no way the stick-to-your-ribs kind of tastiness the band provided with their self-titled “Green” and “Blue” albums. A rest might do Cuomo’s songwriting some good.
