12/18/07 Alone is out now!

Hey folks, today is the day - out NOW on Geffen Records is "Alone: The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo". Its an 18 track collection of Rivers's demos from 1992-2007, including some short "not-really song" clips that are cool too. The CD booklet is totally loaded with very interesting info and liner notes written by Rivers himself. While it's not a weezer album, it is essential to any weezer fan looking to dig a little deeper - and be rewarded!

"Alone" is available wherever good music is sold in stores, digitally on itunes (direct link here - launches iTunes), not to mention Amazon.com and lots of other fine online and digital retailers.

Note that Alone WILL be on vinyl LP, but that format is not out just yet. And news on Alone's availablity and release date in other countries is pending.

And speaking of "Alone", check out this Rivers interview podcast, recorded on 10/15/07. And there will be more to come!
