Weezer's 'Raditude' Cover Is Doggone Awesome

UPDATE: Weezer is enjoying your Sidney submissions so much, that they've decided to up the ante. The winning submission will earn its author a 'Raditude' print signed by the band. Stay tuned for the winner!
We always knew that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was into things like glaciers and volcanoes, so it's really no surprise that he should find the band's new album cover while flipping through the pages of a National Geographic. The magazine sponsors a reader-submitted photo contest in each issue. Nominees are selected by a photo editor and then featured on the website for open voting.
A couple months ago, one winning entry in particular caught Cuomo's eye. It's a shot of a dog named Sidney in mid-flight across a living room. Weezer thought, for some reason, it would make the perfect cover for their new disc, 'Raditude.' When the band got in touch with the winning photographer, Jason Neely of Middletown, Conn., to seek his permission, not only did he give his blessing, he also revealed something surprising: according to him, "Sidney is a big Weezer fan."

Sidney's such a big Weezer fan, in fact, that we thought he deserves his own meme. Send Sidney on a trip around the world (and beyond) by making your own album cover (or zany landscape) featuring the pup, thus spreading the word of Weez, and we'll post them all on Spinner. Just link them in the comments, email them to us or tweet us.
See if you can top Dylan's excellent 'Raditudelay' submission:
