A Bundle of Weezer News
Dear Weezer (esp. Rivers Cuomo),
If you really want to build suspense about the unnamed movie soundtrack that you’re working on, I would suggest telling Rivers not to tweet the following:

Oh Look! A “Blinkumentary!”
Yes, that lovely combination of “Blink 182″ and “Documentary” is exactly what it sounds like. Since their reunion tour started last May, video
crews have been following around band members Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus, and Tom DeLonge gathering footage for this new endeavor.
