Cuomo writing songs, but not for Weezer

Weezer's Rivers Cuomo told MTV the band is done for now and may never record again, though he is writing songs that he does not expect to become Weezer material.

Weezer's Rivers Cuomo has said that he doesn't think that the band will ever make another record, even though he's writing songs at the moment, telling MTV: "For the moment we are done. And I'm not certain we'll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one."

He continued: "All this year, I've been feeling pretty creative and excited, so I've been writing a lot. I don't know what'll happen with these songs - if anything - I just sort of write them and I can't stop. I certainly don't see them becoming Weezer songs, and I don't really see the point of a solo career. So we'll just have to wait and see."

On the subject of a possible hits album, he added: "I'm not convinced that we have a greatest hits album that is worth putting out at this point. I'd like to include two more amazing songs on there. And anything else would just seem lazy to me. We'll see, though. I don't really feel comfortable with it now."
