## Resource

Rivers Cuomo just dropped 15 surprise cover songs—think Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, and even Metallica—some dating back 20 years, sparking fan theories that it might’ve been an accidental Dropbox leak. Meanwhile, Weezer’s new single “Shine Again” drops as the first new music since 2022, teasing their 20th album, while they prep for a massive US tour and quirky promo events like pickleball tournaments and chain restaurants—all part of their fresh, fan-focused comeback.
