Which one?

this masterpiece

we know more now of the projects and what was going to what but back in the day most of these abandoned songs were thought to be considered for that side project titled homie rivers had going post pinkerton, they also put in early album 3 songs there too

since all we had are live bootlegs of these songs this album serves to give us a better recording and performance of these songs which houses some of rivers best songs, such as the one i linked imo

dw it’s far greater than the sftbh project, great singers here

Adding it to a playlist of songs to listen to on my trip home

maybe you’ll find the prettiest girl version you been looking of in there

but yeah baby, rosemary and sheila can do it (who will actually be on van weezer!) are pristine compositions

Thinking about making like a “Sounds of Summer” Weezer playlist.

like with all upbeats sunny songs?

Not necessarily upbeat but just stuff that fits the summer vibe. Most of their beach boys sounding stuff would be included.

Those 2002 sessions flow pretty well for me like this

1. Superstar
2. Mad Kow
3. Queen of Earth (2002-06-25)
4. Hey Domingo
5. Untenable
6. Mansion of Cardboard
7. Little Songs
8. Lullaby
9. The Organ Player
10. Everybody Wants a Chance

what we thinking of? only album tracks?

i try to avoid the acoustic song last it takes away from the pinkerton magic closing and i think organ player is too good and unique it kills me rivers didn’t do anything with it it’s better than anything on mb combined

I mean it could be anything. A lot of White stuff getting included plus some Pacific Daydream tracks like Sweet Mary of course. Having a hard time making a list tho lol

the more you set yourself rules the easier and it is

limit like a number of tracks to be selected per album so that it’s balanced

If I could I make it work I’d include the demo versions of Haunt You Every Day and This is Such a Pity. I’m more of a Make Believe “defender” than a lot of people so I have a lot of love for those tracks.

Yeah I guess I’d stick to the last decade in terms of tracks, don’t want it sounding too all over the place.

u didn’t fully got me on the this is such a pity demo however the haunt you one is amazing that you sold me on def! altho i always liked the song and it was nice to get piano, it’s more common now and will be even more when ok human is out lol hopefully he’ll shred that b**** on the album but before hand haunt you might be the first time there was a piano on a weezer track at top of my head no?

well there’s the intro of across the sea but come on

that too! pre and post green is too drastic in terms of energy and production

maybe cut in two parts

But the hook on that This Is Such a Pity demo is so good. Did he ever reuse that for something else?

no

love the hook too just feels disconnected from the energy of the verses

tbh there’s so much s*** there could be a second album to do out of these sessions almost just as good as this

ima give it a shot

Tracks for the Sounds of Summer playlist, not sure on order yet. Sticking with 10.
So far I got

California Kids
Girl We Got a Good Thing
High as A Kite
Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Weekend Women
LA Girlz
Byzantine
Friend of a Friend
Sweet Mary
Endless Bummer

To be honest it feels more natural to me than the hook that we ended up with on the record. It’s basically the All I Wanna Do melody, another demo.

SOME BLACK ALBUM LOVE

there’s hope

dam my boi going thru it to add high as a kite in it i would’ve put a banger, maybe mexican fender love that song super beach boys on the chorus

man what a set of KILLER songs tho and ppl still only talking about blue and pink, lame

man hasn’t your life changed when you got into weezer and realized 10 tracks is the fiftieth length tho?

based, makes so much sense

really? interesting

to me og hook is more classic weezer but the verses are .. cold, new hook fits in more with that not that i like it better

this performance is everything and it was just a casual warm up on the last verse when he sings and plays the guitar finger picking at the same time oh man..
