New Old Rivers Cuomo - "I Want To Take You Home Tonight"
Recorded in 2002, "I Want To Take You Home Tonight" won't set any world records, but the morose pickup song about a one-night stand has a pleasing, droning, droopy dog feel about it. (If you remember this mustached thumbnail picture, a one-night stand with Cuomo could also be pretty creepy.) The track will ostensibly show up on the second collection of solo demos, Alone II: The Home Recordings.

Cuomo (and Brian Bell) debuted the track the old-fashioned way: On the radio. While visiting a Y-Rock on XPN Radio Takeover, they also went in-depth about The Red Album (like why they chose the color red) and Weezer's current live presentation. You can scroll for the playlist here.
Alone II: The Home Recordings is out 11/25 via Universal.

Good song, better news. I thoroughly enjoyed the first home recordings and can't wait for the second.
Score = 2
Wait, this was recorded in 2002? I liked that better than anything on Maladroit
Score = 0
Man, these old Weezer songs really break my heart. Purification of Water, Paper Face, Prettiest Girl, Walt Disney... man what the hell happened to Weezer? Bah, I could philosophize about Rivers and that damned band all day..
Score = 0
Come to think of it, I wish Rivers had included some more "Rivers Cuomo Band" tracks (if there are any more that he recorded). I would love a real version of "1000 years".
