Rivers Cuomo, main songwriter behind Weezer is reportedly preparing a new compilation of demos spanning 1992-2007 for release this Christmas. The record is titled Alone – The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo and is due out December 11, 2007.

Rivers also touches on the much derided rumours that he was preparing a book of his memoirs. He notes that he’s looking at two to three years for the book to completed and is currently writing and researching. The researching suggests that this may not be memoirs since he’s not likely to need to research his own life.

Finally, he makes brief mention of Weezer’s sixth album saying only: “Not to mention the Weezer developments, which are also extremely great.”

Nada Surf has posted the first song from their upcoming sophomore release for Barsuk. The record is titled Lucky and is due out February 05, 2008. It is the follow-up to The Weight Is A Gift which was released in 2005.

The band recently discussed the album with Billboard saying:

There is some hard rock, almost early ’80s British metal for a couple of minutes. I don’t even know if the record is going in a positive direction or a vitriolic direction. I think it’s getting weirder. But then some songs sound like Tom Petty, which is a great thing if it works and a bummer if it doesn’t.

You can find “See These Bones” on their myspace page.
