Featured article: DeTour


Detour-benaldridge.jpg

DeTour is an unaired television series developed in 2014 for the Fox network. It was loosely based on the life of Rivers Cuomo.

In August of 2014, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Psych creator Steve Franks had pitched a coming-of-age story about "a 30-something rock star who, unable to rationalize his success and worried that he may not have the tools to repeat it, walks away from the spotlight at the height of his fame in an effort to rediscover the parts of his life he missed while he was busy becoming a massive success." Cuomo confirmed in 2015 that a full pilot episode had been filmed, featuring cameos from him and social media personality Logan Paul. Cuomo played a character named "Professor Kitts," a reference to the surname he and his brother Leaves Cuomo used in childhood.

The pilot of DeTour leaked online on June 25, 2023. The Weezer songs "Island in the Sun" and "Hash Pipe" are used in the pilot. The character inspired by Cuomo also sings the song "California Kids."

Featured song: "Wanda (You're My Only Love)" Play on spotify.png


Rivers Cuomo Alone.jpg

"Wanda (You're My Only Love)" is the tenth track on Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. The song was written and demoed by Cuomo in 1995.

Rivers Cuomo was asked by his manager to compose a song for the film Angus. Wanting badly to do a good job, Cuomo pored over the film's script. He found that he connected with the film's titular character. "I poured my heart into the song," said Cuomo in 2007, "I used details from the characters' lives in the movie, but really the emotions were mine, the incredible love I would feel for the woman, the person, the world that could accept me and love me as I was."

The eponymous "Wanda" refers to a so-named inflatable sex doll, used by Angus in the film to practice slow dancing.

The song was ultimately rejected for being "too literal" of an interpretation of the film. The film's producers wanted a more up-beat rock song in the vein of "Buddy Holly." Weezer ended up submitting "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly" instead. Cuomo performed the song live at shows under the "Homie" moniker in 1997, and shared an MP3 of his demo in the early 2000s. The song was formally released in 2007 as part of the compilation Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo.
