Clever marketing!

In light that recording artists are having trouble selling albums and selling out concerts, the folks behind Weezer have come up with a clever marketing ploy!

YOU, Weezer superfan, get to jam out with Weezer in the following concerts: Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Weezer is encouraging fans to bring their instruments to these shows where they will be making these Hootenanny recordings!



Here is the set list:

Pork and Beans
Island in the Sun
Creep (Radiohead)
Say It Ain’t So
El Scorcho
Beverly Hills

Question: Can I consider this a résumé builder? It is honest to say Rivers Cuomo was my guitar instructor, correct? And that I got to jam out with Weezer and make a recording with them?

Now to decide... Do I play it safe and show up with my guitar? Or do I break out the chanter/ bagpipes?

Say it ain't so indeed.
