Weezer's Rivers Cuomo Recovering From Accident, Calls on Fans To Help With New Song

As first announced over the weekend on Weezer's A.P.E. Radio station "Radio Weezer," fans and fellow musicians can now visit Indaba Music, the top destination for online music creation, to work with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo. The singer-songwriter's solo recording session was announced during an on-air health update given by his long-time friend, webmaster and band historian Karl Koch..

Says Cuomo, "I wrote this tune, 'Shusui.' Now I want to write the lyrics. Before I do that, I'd like somebody to produce a better demo of the music. I'll pay you $208."

Cuomo began recording "Shusui" before his recent tour bus crash, which left him with Rivers cracked ribs and internal bleeding. Now, according to Radio Weezer, Cuomo is in better condition; and with ample downtime off of the postponed Weezer tour, he's looking for the right candidate to help him produce the song into a better-quality demo form before finishing the tune's lyrics. This marks an incredible opportunity for enterprising musicians to collaborate with one of rock's biggest names, and a chance to win "the princely sum of $208."
