Rivers Cuomo and His Pinkerton Diaries

Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo, is going to release a companion book to go with the re-release of Weezer's second album, Pinkerton.  The album was more personal than some of their other works and Cuomo wants to give a peak into the thought process behind its creation.  The book will be comprised of journal entries and other writings/memorabilia during the period between '94-'97.  Being a big fan of Weezer and of reading personal diaries (something voyeuristic about that), I hope to check this out when it is released in January--which may be exclusively online, which will be the same for Alone III, the third volume in the Alone series.  Rivers also recently recorded a duet with Miranda Cosgrove and, while I'm cautious, I have an inkling that song is going to be hilariously tongue-in-cheek and atypical of an emerging pop starlet.
