Rivers Cuomo On The Weezer Snuggie: 'It's Hard To Understand The Appeal Of This Product'
|
Today marks the release of Raditude, the seventh album from Weezer. Amazingly, the group has been around for 15 years and has survived a handful of personnel changes and more than one shift in focus. But unlike fellow rock veterans Foo Fighters (who are looking back on their career with their Greatest Hits, also out today), Weezer continue to evolve with time and roll with new trends. On their last album (2008's self-titled "Red" album), they produced a video for the single "Pork and Beans" that sought to grab hold of dozens of different Internet memes all at once. Raditude features a collaboration with Lil Wayne. And now you can grab yourself an official Weezer-branded Snuggie (which the band calls "The Wuggie"). It's a sleeved blanket with "Weezer" written across the front, and if you order one from the band's official Web site, you'll score a copy of Raditude to go along with it. It's an amazing concept, but even Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo isn't entirely sure why.
