What is one to do with with Rivers Cuomo and the Weezer family? We've received news of Cuomo's memoir intentions, lent an ear to the scarlet-colored album, followed the progress of Cuomo's YouTube-fueled songwriting and watched, totally bewildered, as the band engaged in various hootenannies around the country, including this one in San Francisco, which featured dozens of Weezer fans playing and singing Radiohead's "Creep" along with the band. Hold our sweaters as we walk away, please. It's cold and exhausted here in the world-turned woods of Weezerness.

When Muddy Waters referenced a "gypsy woman" in the song of the same name, he was giving a shout out to traditions of Louisiana's long-standing voodoo culture. New Orleans continues to celebrate those traditions with its 10th annual Voodoo Music Experience. And while the name may sound rather ominous to those not in the know, the experience is more of the musical variety than the hexing one.
