While HUDS served ribs, Rivers Cuomo ’99-’06 dished out love advice. The recently-engaged Weezer frontman sat down with FM over dinner last Saturday night to chat about this week’s lover’s holiday...

The group’s frontman, who is a dead-on Swedish Jason Schwartzman/Luke Wilson mash-up, is lost at night in some Northland woods, carrying a shiny red suitcase past electronics, musical instruments, and various band members strewn about in the snow, singing all the while. Little Red Riding Hood? The Chronicles of Narnia? Robert Frost? Obviously...
