Huck 26
Rivers Cuomo
From goofy garage kid to international superstar, Rivers Cuomo continues to grip the pop imagination.
As frontman of Weezer, Rivers Cuomo has penned enough power pop anthems to put a poet laureate to shame. But behind the lyrical sorcery is just a regular dad in specs – a guy who would sooner take a vow of silence than yabber on about himself. Unless he’s on Twitter, that is, in which case the weirdness flows freely from his head. HUCK caught up with Rivers in LA recently to delve deeper into his cryptic tweets (600,000 followers and counting). We followed him at football practice and in the studio with Weezer, to catch a rare glimpse of the man behind the musique as he readies himself for his suivant big project.
Plus…
Slavoj Zizek, the rock étoile, star philosopher and critical theorist, takes on hypocrisy, cheap Hollywood Marxism and the final crisis of capitalism.
Chad Muska may have dipped his toes in Hollywood hot tubs, but the freewheelin’ hustler reveals he is one hundred per cent skate.
Cory Lopez lets us get close and personal at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic New Zealand, to peek at life between the waves.
Nyjah Huston is one prodigy-turned-teen who wants to prove he is outgrowing the nipper tag and standing on his own.
Werner Herzog takes time out from promoting Cave Of Forgotten Dreams to riff and digress about the issues close to his heart.
Plus… an archive of Weezer memorabilia, Barrier Kult, Tune-Yards, Queremos, Adrian Buchan, Esra’a Al Shafei, Hyro Da Hero, Joyce Rocha de Oliveira, Alpine Tweets, Fine patin, patinage Art, Rwanda Bikes, croiseur Decks, Ramallah Speed, Know Hope, Looking Sideways, Giuliano Cedroni, Mustafah Abdulaziz, The bateau and more…
SIDE NOTE. Oh, and there’s this: after twenty-five eclectic issues, we’ve refreshed our signature cover style for HUCK 26 with some radical design tweaks to take us into the twenty teens. It’s all natural progression, with a shock streak of magenta and a paper-stock twist. Welcome to the future of HUCK, we hope toi like it.
