River Cuomo makes thousands of demos available for sale.

Rivers Cuomo has a unique gift for Weezer fans — he’s made pretty much all of his demos available for purchase.

These are all facts:  It’s just under 2500 songs made available.  (That’s over 85 hours of material.)  The audio has not been listened to in years, so you don’t know what you are going to get (there’s actually a warning list below — and he’s asked people to let him know if they contain audio people shouldn’t hear.‼️).  And the reason this website even happened is because Rivers is taking a web programming course at Harvard.  FACTS.

Here’s a number of caveats from Rivers:

  1. It might have silence.
  2. It might be wildly inappropriate.
  3. It might have super low sound quality.
  4. It might just be me rambling, talking, making sounds.
  5. It may have already been shared or leaked.
  6. It might be just a drum beat. it might not have vocals.
  7. It might be a duplicate of another demo.
  8. It might be an inferior version of another demo.
  9. the information provided, such as year and description, might be incorrect.
  10. Also, over time, the contents of each bundle in the market might change.
  11. Or the metadata for a file might change.
  12. The price may change.

There may even be a holiday gift option coming soon, where you can buy for a friend and receive a personalized message from Rivers himself.  Keep checking back.  — [eric]
