Weezer fans are getting the ultimate Christmas present this year: a collection of home recordings by Rivers Cuomo.

The record, entitled “Alone – The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo,” should not be seen as a solo album, but rather a kind of musical scrapbook. According to Cuomo, who posted on his Myspace page, “This is a CD of my favorite home demos from ‘92 to ‘07 featuring a lot of never heard before songs, a few covers, a few songs from my unfinished rock musical ‘Songs From The Black Hole’ and my original demo for ‘Buddy Holly.’”

Geffen records will release the album on December 11. Cuomo said he may put out more demo collections in the future.
