tune with an encouraging message. He could be singing to himself just as much as anyone else.

The bundle doesn't have any other clips of this song, so this nearly-15-minute bit is all we have.

From the Pacific Daydream/Black Years

At 14:46, this piano sketch is one of the longest clips in all of the bundles.

Rivers is working on a song called Accidents, but it feels like he's focusing on the chorus only. It's a decent...

I feel you. 2024 hit hard. But you gotta dust yourself off and get back in the trenches. Too many people on the margins of society need us to stay in the fight.

album.

Rivers' original demo doesn't have the life that the full band version does. But for one of these songs recorded on Rivers' handheld, it sounds pretty good.

Rivers would write another song with the same title in the leadup to Make Believe. And that's a really good one.

The band posted daily MP3s of what they recorded each day. And some of the songs left off the album were better than the ones on Maladroit.

Case in point: Porcupine. Or Spend Some Time. Or I Wanna Be With You.

I prefer the vibe of this song to some of the metal homages that made the finished...

#RiversDemoFlood 1752: I Wanna Be With You

September 10, 2001

From the Green-Maladroit Years

Maladroit is probably last on my Weezer album ranking list.

That's not to say I don't love the album. I just think it could be a lot better.

It was a special time when Weezer was making the album...

2011-2014

From EWBAITE

Sounds like Rivers is playing the ukulele in this 1:52 sketch.

He's got some lyrics for this bit and it's a shame that the quality isn't that great (and this was never used), because this tune is pretty damn catchy.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

The full quote is lovely and effusive. Always good when the Sequel actors can see that they *are* loved and appreciated by fans.

This isn't meant to be a knock against Hurley. I enjoy the album (most of it).

But we've never heard the full story about how it was made or why the album was completely redone...

If Weezer's Hurley were a better received album, there would be a bunch of popular conspiracy theories about it.

Glad you're okay.

And yeah, definitely glad for chemotherapy (as much as it hurt).

At our first meeting, my oncologist told me that my treatment was the result of decades of research and people who have lived and died. In other words, science works.

I think only Weezer fans might get this one.

Rivers Cuomo, during Green and Maladroit:

only wrote one chorus and verse. And there's a solo that repeats the melody (which was the style at the time). With a little bit of work, this could have been a totally acceptable Green song.

With a great second part.

#RiversDemoFlood 1750: Gimme Something

Early 2000

From the Green Years

Gimme Something has two parts. I'm not sure which is first, the chorus or the verse. Whichever part is which, I like the second a lot.

Even though the song is 3:26 long (and there is a shorter edit in the bundle), Rivers...
