Nah Sidney is wizard a dog that epic has no gender

scrolling through the photos don’t seem to find much infos on birth or anything to make a guess

dog made history

He deserves his own wikipedia page tbh

Rivers Cuomo discovered the album cover photo, which had appeared in the pages of a National Geographic, in an email. The magazine sponsors a reader-submitted photo contest in each issue. Nominees are selected by a photo editor and then featured on the website for open voting.
A mid-2009, winning entry in particular caught Cuomo's eye: a shot of a dog named Sidney in mid-flight across a living room. Cuomo thought it would make the perfect cover for Raditude because to him it represented the feeling he gets when he performs live. When the band got in touch with the winning photographer, Jason Neely of Middletown, Conn., to seek his permission, not only did he give his blessing, he also revealed something surprising: according to him, "Sidney is a big Weezer fan."

We should make it

Wow it was destiny
Thats beautiful

this is from rivers own lil studio in his home

look at the vinyl he has on his wall behind him @Soupvillain

During 2002/2005 "Rubin introduced Cuomo to Vipassana meditation and challenged Cuomo to write John Lennon-influenced songs and sincere songs with no irony

@HeyFella @feelingisfirst

trump can pardon wayne and kodak yet can not pardon van weezer from the clutches of Rivers

cant complain we getting two new original albums this year to make up for 2020 in which we already had 3 singles, s*** aint so bad

trump prolly heard csp and was like bettt

yah im just s***posting, it's gonna be beautiful

that was the true catalyst to wayne's pardon

i encourage anyone to rewatch this bc no other rockstar has done and will ever do this

even if so this was a decade ahead of current social media and interaction

since the song written with the fans has been published on a weezer record - the fans to this day still get a royalty check in fact rivers kept most of their takes on the final song instead of re-recording everything with the band

who else doing it this genuine in the game that’s what i wanna know

@BaroudeurFlipFlop @vanity @HeyFella

I just watched all of it actually lmao, thats so f***ing dope and just checked spotift and its actually up gonna play it no cuomos a legend for this

Wait its on an album too? I dont see that album on Wikipedia, is it like a comp or something or??

you the realest

damn right the album on cd and s***!

we not worthy

Imagine being able to say you helped rivers cuomo make a song, I would talk about that s*** everyday lmfaoo

it’s on death to false metal it’s kinda confusing as to who consider it an album or not

so oasis did this compilation way back after their second studio album that consists of all the b sides they had put out well the fans favorites according to them but the album wasn’t marketed as a compilation it was named after a song of the tracklist and had a whole photo shoot done for the cover so if you didn’t know any better it would’ve been a new oasis album and in that way it kinda stayed bc of how good the album flows

rivers was inspired by this as a oasis fan and did this odds and ends album - instead of b sides it would be songs the band recorded but never dropped - even the fans didn’t know of, so that alone it’s skeptical as to if that makes it a compilation but it still can be if it’s untouched

but they reproduced the whole thing to step it up and mix it rather than leave the songs as they were originally done but most importantly rivers re-recorded new vocals for some parts so that kinda crosses the line bc if the album has a title and cover and songs unheard and re-recordings it’s hardly not a new album

what’s makes it weird is the song selection is all over the place you go back from sessions to 1997 all the way to this song he did with the fans in 2009 so sonically it’s crazy

so that’s why some debate it make it in the canon of official studio albums or compilations ranks
