LÁ VAMOS NÓS DE NOVO!!!

Resumindo, é isso mesmo: Weezer acabou. De novo. Mas só desisto deles de vez se até 2010 eles (ou melhor, Rivers Cuomo) não voltem! =D

Tentei jogar o texto no babelfish pra tradução, mas ficou péssimo. Então vai em inglês mesmo. Tenho que sair do pc agora.

Rivers Cuomo Says Weezer Are 'Done' For Now - Again
07.12.2006 6:00 AM EDT

Frontman still writing songs at furious pace, not sure where they'll end up.

At the moment, Rivers Cuomo could not be further removed from the other
members of Weezer.

He's sitting in his in-laws' house in southern Japan, fiddling with his
wife's guitar ("She never learned how to play it," he laughed) and leafing
through
his composition book, talking about the songs he's been writing over the past
few months.

"All this year, I've been feeling pretty creative and excited, so I've been
writing a lot," Cuomo said. "I don't know what'll happen with these songs — if
anything — I just sort of write them and I can't stop. I certainly don't see
them becoming Weezer songs, and I don't really see the point of a solo career.
So we'll just have to see."

To be honest, Cuomo is in no hurry to figure things out. In the past month,
he has graduated from Harvard (completing an on-again, off-again decade-long
run at the university; see "Rivers Cuomo: Coming To A Dorm Room Near You?") and
gotten married. But Cuomo hasn't stopped working - not even on his honeymoon.

"Actually our honeymoon has been one of the best times to write," he said.
"At 1 p.m., I get on my crazy Japanese bike and ride for 10 minutes down to the
mega-mall, and on the third floor they have all these studios you can rent for
five bucks an hour, with drums and a soundboard and everything. So I go in
there and work, and when I'm done, I exit into the midst of a Japanese
mega-mall."

Some of the tunes Cuomo has been recording are autobiographical. "Heart
Songs" is about all the artists and records that have influenced him, "From
Gordon
Lightfoot's '[The Wreck of the] Edmund Fitzgerald' when I was 5 to Nirvana's
Nevermind." Others are just plain nonsensical: "Our Time Will Come" is his ode
to the underachieving U.S. men's soccer team.

But again, he's writing them for no one in particular.

While Cuomo isn't exactly at odds with anyone in his band, and all three
current members - guitarist Brian Bell, bassist Scott Shriner and drummer Pat
Wilson - did serve as groomsmen at his June wedding, he's not exactly speaking
to
them every day, either. And while Weezer frequently take breaks in-between
albums, there is a sense of finality this time, especially given the events of
last year, which included the bittersweet farewell Cuomo included in the liner
notes of their Make Believe album (see "Are Weezer Calling It Quits?").

"Well, the band is all back in Los Angeles, and I sometimes I speak with
Patrick, and I occasionally e-mail with Brian and Scott, but we've never
mentioned
getting together," Cuomo said. "Really, for the moment, we are done. And I'm
not certain we'll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious
to me that we need to do one."

And if that does mean that Weezer are finished, can fans expect some sort of
career-spanning greatest-hits comp? Well, not if Cuomo has anything to do with
it.

"It's being discussed with the record company right now, but we have to sign
off before they can do anything. And to be honest, we don't all see eye-to-eye
on it," he said.

"I'm not convinced that we have a greatest-hits album that is worth putting
out at this point," he added. "I'd like to include two more amazing songs on
there. And anything else would just seem lazy to me. We'll see, though. I don't
really feel comfortable with it now."
