Homie was a side project of Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the band Weezer.
 Homie, as it stands now, was a one-time effort.
 Homie has released just one song, "American Girls", for the soundtrack of the 1998 film "Meet the Deedles".
 For this recording, Cuomo was joined by Greg Brown (member of Cake and Deathray), Matt Sharp (formerly of Weezer, lead singer of The Rentals), Adam Orth of Shufflepuck and Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing and Sulfur.
Matt Sharp is a self-titled debut from former Weezer bassist and The Rentals frontman Matt Sharp.
 The album is notable for featuring no electric guitar, synths, or percussion.
 Instead lap steel, acoustic guitar, piano, and organ are the only accompaniment to Sharp's vocals.
 The album was recorded in Tennessee.
Return of the Rentals is the debut album by alternative rock band The Rentals, released on October 24, 1995, through Maverick Records, a subsidiary of Reprise Records.
 The album features Matt Sharp—Weezer's bassist at the time—on vocals and bass, as well as Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson.
 Other contributors include Tom Grimley (Moog, production), Petra Haden (violin, vocals), Rachel Haden (vocals), Guy Oseary (album artwork), and Stephen Marcussen (mastering).
The Rentals are an American rock band fronted by vocalist Matt Sharp, best known as the former bassist for Weezer.
 Sharp has been the only consistent member since the group's inception.
 The band is best known for their 1995 single "Friends of P." The Rentals released two albums, "Return of the Rentals" (1995) and "Seven More Minutes" (1999) on Maverick Records before quietly splitting in 1999 following a world tour.
 The group reformed in 2005 and have since released several EPs and a third full-length album, "Lost in Alphaville", which was released August 26, 2014, on Polyvinyl Records.
 Due to the revolving nature of studio and live collaborators, determining who is actually an official member of the group at any one point is difficult.
Michael Edward "Mikey" Welsh (April 20, 1971 – October 8, 2011) was an American artist and musician, best known as the former bassist of Weezer.
 He played with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo during Cuomo's time in Boston during the hiatus in the band Homie.
 Following original bassist Matt Sharp's decision to leave Weezer to focus on his group, The Rentals, Welsh was chosen to take over on bass.
 Welsh played with Weezer from the time that they unofficially regrouped in 1998 until August 2001, when he suffered a mental breakdown.
 Shortly afterwards, he retired from music to focus on his art career.
 Welsh died on October 8, 2011.

 Its six characters were to be voiced by Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell and bassist Matt Sharp of Weezer, Rachel Haden of That Dog and the Rentals, Joan Wasser of the Dambuilders, and Weezer collaborator Karl Koch.
