Episode 37: Rivers is Recording Alone at Home And is (Sometimes) Sad

It’s episode NUMBER THIRTY SEVEN of Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here. This week, Sara and Matt take on the first solo album by Rivers Cuomo: Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. The collection of demos, rarities and absurdities came out in 2007. But is there enough in the collection to make a decent album on its own?
