Weezer may be cozying up to rapper Lil Wayne and singing songs such as “I’m Your Daddy” on its new album, “Raditude,” but the band hasn’t completely abandoned its persona as rock ‘n’ roll’s lovable geeks.

With the release Tuesday of the new album, the band followed through on its promise to release a Weezer-branded Snuggie -- a blanket with sleeves.

The promotional item is available for purchase on the Weezer website for $30, and the “Snuggie bundles” come complete with the Weezer CD.
