Music News: U2 & Weezer
No, Bono and Cuomo are not planning any sort of collaboration that I'm aware of, but they are both going to be getting a chunkfull of my cash in the coming months.
U2 is going to reissue The Joshua Tree for its 20th anniversary in a cornucopia of formats:
I'll be picking up the double disc for sure, and hopefully the vinyl as well if that isn't too cost-prohibitive. Whatever you think about U2, The Joshua Tree deserves its place among the great albums of all time.
Weezer frontman and Harvard grad Rivers Cuomo is going to release a solo disc of demos in December. Should be pretty cool, and there is probably going to be some neat stuff on there:
As for the entirety of Weezer?
“We’re done recording, and we’re just waiting to find a mixer. It’s very fresh and experimental,” Cuomo said.
Sweet. While Weezer has never lived up to the greatness of "Blue" and Pinkerton, Make Believe was a solid effort, and decent Weezer is better than no Weezer, I think.
U2 is going to reissue The Joshua Tree for its 20th anniversary in a cornucopia of formats:
single disc, double disc, double disc/single DVD, and double vinyl. The second disc will likely feature demos, alternate takes, and B-sides from the Brian Eno-produced sessions. The DVD will feature a July 4th, 1987 concert as well as the documentary Outside, It’s America.

“Several of them are from my unfinished rock musical, Songs From the Black Hole,” Cuomo tells us. Black Hole, a space rock concept album, was initially supposed to be Weezer’s follow-up to their debut Blue record, but when the project came unglued, some of the tracks wound up in another form on Pinkerton, while the rest have been floating around for awhile until Cuomo gathered them for this collection.
