Digging Weezer, Digging Out

I’m formulating a blog post in my head about the crazy weather week we just got through in CT.  I’ll get to it next week when I’ve cleared my desk.

In  the interim, I have to share this interview/concert that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo gave to the guys at Sound Opinions.  Cuomo is a good guy wears his passion for life and music on his sleeve.  He brings a lot to the party.  Of special note is a discussion of the term “pandering” as applied to Rivers for some of his biggest hits like “Beverly Hills”  To paraphrase Rivers — “I get an idea that I want to get out there, and then I want to have the largest number of people hear my song.  How is that pandering?”

Here’s the whole Sound Opinions Show.  They don’t split out the interviews.  Sound Opinions with Rivers Cuomo.  In addition to the great interview, Cuomo also plays 3 Weezer songs with a local Chicago band, the Cathy Santonies — with no rehearsal at all, they really rock!!

Enjoy!!
