this my fav weezer show from peak era, it covers both blue and pinkerton albums and its b sides material, you get it all:
what’s insane is that this whole thing that’s now available for any clicks to any new comers was a footage that only surfaced some 5y ago it has never been heard or seen before and now it’s like, in my book, a must

please do all the albums and give us your feedbacks on each! would love to chat back and forth with you about all of them and bring some contexts and trivias to give you a better overall perspective
as for the rest that isn’t album canon one yt channel to make it easy - if you’re looking to use yt for that
https://youtube.com/channel/UC2zMqpUD2MuBOrGpAIM5ouA
i could swear there’s another one who archives as heavily but not coming back to me
what you need to know also is uh rivers did his website himself by learning webmastering and codding and so he set up this market place where he sells his home made demos, the alone series covering all eras with over 2,000 songs but when he originally set it up he left the dropbox public lol so ppl found it and dug thru the best s*** - it hurted his bag and made me really sad
but as he put it on the market he started uploading more to it and covering more stuff, however because of this original accident lot of people are reluctant to upload the demos in yt to not hurt rivers covid bag
but it’s starting to come together, some accounts are putting up the relevant material as we post it itt
BUT if you wanna listen to it ALL at 100% you’re gonna have to go through the market store, i can try to upload you some of the stuff but it doesn’t sit right to me, no artists has ever done and shared this with its own community you know, we shouldn’t take it for granted at all he deserves the bag
however you’re warned all the recordings are still handpicked himself there’s more we haven’t heard as 1 he only uploads stuff that doesn’t involve other ppl so no band recording or collaborations or featurings, sometimes there is some of those that do pop up but are quickly taken down by rivers himself as soon as he notices it lol there’s a cute demo he took off of him writing a song for kelly clarkson and they’re both singing on it! it’s actually a great song believe it or no
he’s making exceptions and is working on that tho as he’s uploading demos with pat and the ozma guys as im assuming he reached out to them and they were cool with it
but most of all whats to keep in mind is that, it’s kinda of a trash bin as in he stated these are all songs he will not be mining for from there on, so unless they’re songs that are on albums already locked before this market happened (van weezer and ok human) they are songs he’s abandoning - which means some are gems he hasn’t work out but some are stuff that didn’t go nowhere or involved into songs we got later, for example there’s a 2002 demo that are the verses of summer elaine from the white album!!! - this also means there’s probably just as much recordings as the ones available we won’t hear bc he’s saving it to work on, there’s 2 weezer albums recorded and locked ready to drop but rivers is working rn on the next 3 weezer albums to follow these up at the same time! im sure lot of the songs can be all new material as the lockdown era was most definitely prolific for him but it’s also likely he’s retouching songs he’s not revealing and selling to us
for example he said the first of these three albums to follow up will feature the julian casablancas collaboration weve been waiting on ever since he teased us with it some 10y ago now, so naturally this is one of the (many?) demo songs he’s not putting on the market
all the packages for each eras comes with artworks and additional comments from rivers on each songs if there is anything to say about, so it’s worth the purchase
https://www.riverscuomo.com/demos
most importantly it’s key to remember these were never meant to be ever public, its rivers just working on his music over his entire career theyre recordings for himself alone so there’s also lot of funny or throw away and short ideas
ok hopefully ive touched all bases and made it clear for you to navigate through that journey my brother
thanks man
overall it's pretty overwhelming tbh. and that kinda makes coming back hard.
like one thing about it is that it's similar to meeting up with a friend after years of not seeing them. you are so happy to be back w them, but as you talk, u realize that the person has continued on in the time u have been away. there are jokes, stories, and experiences that you just werent there to be a part of. u just missed out. it makes u wonder if perhaps it was better not knowing all that u have missed.
but then again, in this case it's mostly music so really all that matters if that if you experience it or not. kinda like friend of a friend- it kills me that ive lived 4 years without knowing its existence but in the end i love that i have it in my life now.
another thing that is crazy is that ...its like ive had these old ass puzzle pieces. and back then, we would dream and imagine the picture these piecse were a part of. back we thought his blogs on myspace were a godsend because that was as close as u could get straight from him. and with whatever he said, we would extrapolate and make theories with songs. ''he feels this way about this, so this song is about this, and he probably wanted to
do songs about this, etc etc''and now, i return and see those old ass pieces have been re-made, with crisper edges, and they often come along with other pieces that fit together and give a clearer picture what they were a part of, or meant to be. and often all from the man himself.
s*** is honestly brazy for me.
i think i might just buy all the songs straight up tbh
- Jan 13, 2021
and yeah, im seeing that a lot of them might be clips or some unfinished sht or whatever.
but idk
even like the smallest clips have still had a big impact to me
like when i found the better off alone cover clip...i was over the moon
and his end of the world cover. still love it to f***ing death.
these things aren't even a minute long i dont think, but i really cant imagine my life without them
