Weezer plans rarities compilation
Weezer recently spoke to Billboard about releasing a new compilation featuring the band’s previously unreleased and rare material. Frontman Rivers Cuomo noted:
They’re great songs, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for [a] record. They span a vast period of time from the very beginning of our career in the early ’90s right up to the present day.
Meanwhile, Cuomo says Weezer may tour next spring with Oasis, and is hoping to enlist Spike Jonze to direct a video for the song “The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived” from its recent “The Red Album.”
And while the next Weezer studio album appears to be a ways off, the group recently recorded six Christmas carols that will be downloadable for the iPhone game “Tap Tap Revenge,” including “Oh Holy Night.” Says Cuomo, “They’re the classics.”
