Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here

It’s episode NUMBER THIRTY SEVEN of Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here. This week, Sara and Matt take on the first solo album by Rivers Cuomo: Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. The collection of demos, rarities and absurdities came out in 2007. But is there enough in the collection to make a decent album on its own?

It’s episode NUMBER THIRTY FIVE of Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here. Sara and Matt travel back to 2002 to talk about an album that it seems most Weezer fans have forgotten: Maladroit. The two discuss the bizarre “Dope Nose” and its equally bizarre video, “Possibilities” and the outtake “Living Without You.”
