===Daytrotter post===
The following, written by Sean Moeller, is a transcript of the article posted alongside Cuomo's recording on Daytrotter.com:
==Lyrics==
I want to stop by the side of the road
I want to throw up all that I've known
I want to spit it up violent
Like an exhaust pipe and toxic gag
I just want to fall to my knees and gag puke until there's nothing left but my bones
And I'll lie in the grass by the side of the road
And I'll rub my hands in the dirt
And I'll meet the worms and I'll rub my face in it
It's not good, it's not bad, it just is
and boooooy?
And I'll embrace the tree
And I'll lick the bark and smell the age 
Feel the roots deep in the earth
And rip it free with one hand 
And swallow it whole
And I'll sit in this bush for an hour or two
by the side of the road
And I'll make new friends
Bush friends
I'll listen to the crack as I shift my weight 
and it rains
I'll lie on my back
The sponge would do
Going with every drop that falls in my ears, eyes, and nose
My ears, my eyes, and my nose
I'll rub my hands all over my trippin' body
Feel the grass creepin between my legs
And I'll microscope this world 
With the careless ease of a mother who holds her baby, I will hold the flower
and see down to it's smallest cell
I will be the flower more than I've ever been myself
And this women I will take her and I'll squeeze hard
and love her and feel inside her
by the side of the road
I'll go to jail by the side of the road
Lick the bars and be the dirt
in the corner of this cell on the side of the road

Feel the funk coming over me

Turn the beat up and down
Mesmerized in the sound
Wanted to let it go this time
But you wouldn't complete it now

CDNOW.com interview with Rivers Cuomo - May 2002

Weezer: As Dope As Ever
Tequila, Ritalin, and lawsuits: Weezer's Rivers Cuomo tries to look on the bright side.
By Kristin Roth
CDNOW Editorial Staff
To be a fan of Weezer is to ride a roller coaster with far more twists and turns than anyone could anticipate. Some of the more recent curveballs include the vaguely explained sudden departure of replacement bassist Mikey Welsh in August of last year; the band's decision to send out advance music from their latest album, Maladroit, to radio DJs and music journalists without their record label's knowledge in March; and a lawsuit brought against the band by its original bassist, Matt Sharp, in April.
What's next? Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, phoning in from the band's Japanese tour, told CDNOW what to expect from the group that always serves up the unexpected.

Weezer singer staying celibate
Monday, December 19, 2005; Posted: 12:51 p.m. EST (17:51 GMT)
NEW YORK (AP) -- Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo is continuing his celibacy past his self-declared deadline.
The 35-year-old frontman earlier vowed to remain celibate for two years. Although that deadline expired six months ago, Cuomo still doesn't expect to jump back in the sack anytime soon.
"It's been two-and-a-half years now, actually," Cuomo tells Blender magazine in its new issue, on newsstands Tuesday. "The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising."
Though he's a lead singer for a popular rock band, the bespectacled Cuomo says it's not difficult to manage restraint.
"Abstinence doesn't require as much self-discipline anymore," he says. "We never had any serious groupies, anyway. Our generation got screwed."
Cuomo's vow makes Weezer's 2005 music video for "Beverly Hills" somewhat unusual; it was filmed at the Playboy mansion with dozens of Playboy models and Weezer fans.
Earlier this year, Weezer released their fifth album, "Make Believe."
Cuomo is also pursuing a degree in English literature from Harvard University, for which he has one semester left.

More school, celibacy for Weezer singer
Wednesday, October 26, 2005; Posted: 8:36 a.m. EDT (12:36 GMT)
NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo is heading back to Harvard University in February, with plans to graduate in June with a degree in English, according to a recent chat session on AOL Music.
Cuomo returned to Harvard at the beginning of the year after an eight-year-hiatus, but has spent the bulk of 2005 recording and touring in support of Weezer's latest Geffen album, "Make Believe."
The group is winding down its fall outing with Foo Fighters, after which it will play seven shows in Japan through December 22 in Tokyo. It is unclear if there will be any activity in the Weezer camp next year while Cuomo is back at school.
During the chat, Cuomo revealed further details about his devotion to meditation as well as his vow of celibacy, which he began June 13, 2003.
"I decided to try celibacy because I heard it would help the meditation, and I tried meditation because I heard it would help with the music," he said. "So, it all really comes back to the music.
"Listen to 'Make Believe' and compare it to the previous album, 'Maladroit,' " he continued. "I know I can hear a difference in my singing. My voice just sounds much more sensitive and dynamic now. I also notice a difference in the lyrics. I'm much more open and communicative about my emotions now."
Cuomo said he believes his own personal transformation has rubbed off on the other members of Weezer.
"You might wonder what my meditation practice has to do with the other members' contributions, but I think my meditation has allowed me to be a better collaborator in the studio," he said. "I don't have so much fear that I won't get my way. I don't have so much anger if people have opposing opinions and generally I'm much more happy and comfortable in collaborative situations. So I think the guys finally got an opportunity to really shine on this album."
"Make Believe," boosted by the singles "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All On Drugs," has shifted 790,000 copies in the United States since its May release, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a significant improvement over 2002's "Maladroit," which has sold 590,000 to date.

California (Rentals song)

::This article is about the Rentals demo. For other uses of California, see California (disambiguation).
"California" is a demo by the Rentals, released on the compilations Excellent Stocking Stuffer and The Poop Alley Tapes. It was later reworked into the song "Barcelona," which was released on the Rentals' sophomore album, Seven More Minutes.
===Appearances===
*The Poop Alley Tapes (1995)
*Excellent Stocking Stuffer (2001)
==Overview==
Matt Sharp wrote "California" and demoed it to 4-track as part of a collection of songs informally dubbed That's Incredible! during the fall of 1993, before the Rentals took shape as a band. The song was later properly demoed at Poop Alley Studios in the spring of 1995. This demo did not appear on the Rentals debut album, but appeared on the compilation The Poop Alley Tapes, released later that year. The song also appeared on the 2001 Rentals fan club-exclusive compilation Excellent Stocking Stuffer. The song was later reworked, with entirely new lyrics, into "Barcelona" for the Rentals' sophomore album Seven More Minutes in 1999.
Since the late 90s and early 2000s, "California" has frequently been misattributed to Weezer on lyric websites and peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.
The band Ozma covered the song for the 2010 Japanese tribute album Lost Out in the Machinery - Songs of the Rentals.
==Lyrics==
Woo-hoo, I need your huggin'
Come here, my east coast darlin'
Leave Boston, Mass. on the next flight
You'll love the beautiful Westside,
The beach, and gorgeous sunrise
Surf's up, the waves are rising high
I'm all alone, I need you here in Santa Monica
California
Woo-hoo, from here to Bel-Air
The Blue Bus will take us everywhere
Everyone's happy everywhere 'til now
From Vita to El Cerrito
Seven years up and down the west coast
Surf's up, the waves are rising high

California Snow Stereogum track review

“California Snow,” the new Weezer song from the Spell soundtrack, begins with a deluge of shimmering keyboards and a massive surge of synth bass that’s just begging for an EDM drop. It appears Rivers Cuomo is back to his old crossover ambitions — and with Weezer’s “Africa” cover getting rotation on top 40 stations, I guess this is as good a time as any for some craven attempt to replicate Imagine Dragons and Twenty One Pilots.
But man, it’s a disrespect to Imagine Dragons and Twenty One Pilots to suggest they’d ever open a song with the lyrics, “Walk soft with a big stick/ I love playing guitar, it’s sick/ This is the definition of flow/ Nobody cold as this.” And yet, there he is, 48-year-old white ur-geek Rivers Cuomo, telling you his flow is sick while riding a tidal wave of electro-rock production. The song, which appears during comedy/drama/thriller Spell’s closing credits, is also accompanied by a campaign promoting the fictional Rivers Haskell Family Therapy, billboard, website, and all. It’s kind of a head-scratcher — both the marketing and the music itself.
I’ll give him this: “California Snow” is as catchy as any Weezer song on record. The hook, “California snow/ Never let me go,” is a monster. And by the time the third verse drops in — Cuomo sing-rapping, “C’mon Judas, gimme a kiss/ I can’t take no more of this,” pianos plinking, low-end rising triumphantly from below, searing lead guitar splitting the difference between “The Blue Album” and The Chronic — I have to admit I find myself acclimated to this latest bizarre stab at ubiquity. I am on record arguing that we should stop trying to force Weezer to be the band they were in the ’90s, although at the time I was defending a much more tasteful set of pop songs than this. Does that mean you should like this? Certainly not; you do you. I guess I’m just saying let Rivers do Rivers too.

==Lyrics==
Light the stripe with some polka dots
Dirty jokes in the coffin shop
It's quite detestable
But when I see you, you give me the sweetest smile
And it's bad when I call you in
To the office and borrow your pen
Some might say nefarious
But I know you really wanna see what I'm writing down
They're gonna call the police
They're gonna bring in the SWAT team
'Cause we've been breaking the law
And we don't know how to stop
They're gonna call the police
They're gonna bring in the SWAT team
'Cause we've been breaking the law
And we don't know how to stop
Maybe they'll understand
That it's in the cards
And maybe they'll let us go
If we try real hard
They're gonna call the police
They're gonna bring in the SWAT team
'Cause we've been breaking the law
And we don't know how to stop
Got a job at the clinic
Where I tried to shoplift it
If you cook I'ma clean it
Criminal on the loose
They're gonna call the police
They're gonna bring in the SWAT team
'Cause we've been breaking the law
And we don't know how to stop
They're gonna call the police
They're gonna bring in the SWAT team
'Cause we've been breaking the law
And we don't know how to stop

==Lyrics==
I will dream endlessly
While the world falls apart
It is a recollection of heatwaves
Rising from the surface of a black, black top
And the fingers on my hands
Spread wide apart
To sink down into the hair
Of a small, small girl
She can move herself
From beneath and inside
Of a falling, falling, falling
Black dress
I will dream endlessly (She can move herself)
While the world falls apart
It is a recollection of heatwaves (From beneath and inside)
Rising from
Of a falling, falling, falling
Black dress
And fingers on my hands
Sink down
And the fingers on my hands
Spread wide apart
To sink down
Long grey honey hair slips like vail
Into my closing eyes
Long grey honey hair slips like vail
Into my closing eyes
Long grey honey hair slips like vail (I will dream endlessly, while the world falls apart)
Into my closing eyes (It is a recollection, closing from)
Into my closing eyes
Into my closing eyes
