Trying on a New 'Sweater'
By Bret Begun
----
Weezer came undone. Now it's dressed for success.
It's late on a Friday in April when Rivers Cuomo calls. His band, Weezer, is about to put out a much-anticipated new album—its first in five years—and so this seems like the natural thing to discuss. But Cuomo's got a different agenda. He needs some tech support. See, he says, he had these binders--the three-ring kind, filled with song notes. They became unwieldy. So Cuomo entered the notes into Access, a database program that lets him organize his writings and engage in "very philosophical, scientific periods of musical study." "You know Access?" he asks. Uh, does it work like Excel? "I don't know Excel. I'm weird. But now I'm having second thoughts. Maybe it should all be in Excel?"
Is this guy weird? Oh, yeah. Happy? Ask Cuomo if he feels that way about the release this month of Weezer's third effort, The Green Album. "I don't like the word happy," he says. Okey-doke! But it's the band's quirks that make them so beloved. After all, Weezer shouted "Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly" when everyone wanted to look just like Kurt Cobain. The band's 1994 debut sold 2 million copies, fueled by gems like "Undone (The Sweater Song)." But "Buddy Holly" made the CD. In the video the band goes back to the "Happy Days" set for a gig--a performance that made it OK to take off your flannel and put on a cardigan. Says a 16-year-old fan, "No one else really reached out to the geeks and dorks."
Geeks and dorks (dweebs, too) reached back, embracing Cuomo's wear-it-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Which is why Green falters a bit. We want Cuomo to open up after going AWOL. Instead, he turns a cold shoulder, offering melodies that lack his deeply personal edge. Still, the songs sound pop perfect. But who cares what's on the new CD? Just be happy that there is a new CD. In 1996, Weezer's second collection, Pinkerton, fizzled. So did the band. Guitarist Brian Bell and drummer Pat Wilson worked on side projects; bassist Matt Sharp quit. Cuomo... well, where exactly was Cuomo? He fled to Harvard, dropped out, then to L.A. where he lived with new bassist Mikey Welsh. "We had a phone," says Welsh. After he moved out, "the phone might have gone away."
But as the band withered, its following grew online. Fans swapped bootlegs and buzz. When Weezer emerged to play 2000's Warped Tour, new tunes went right to Napster. "People knew the words the next day," says Welsh. They're still singing. Green debuted at No. 4 on the charts, helped by slots on "SNL," and, soon, Conan and MTV's Movie Awards. Sounds like Weezer's fans can go "Woo-ee-oo" once again.

Nico

"Nico" is the eleventh track from Brian Bell's side project the Space Twins' debut album The End of Imagining. It is the second of three tracks on the album written by the band's bassist Tim Maloof.
==Lyrics==
Nico's the captain of our fishing boat
She eats all the fish before we get home
Then when we get there Sadie is mad
Because she ate all the fish that we had
And if we're lucky will but some sardines
And we will eat them with olives and cheese
Then when we doze off our bellies are full
We'll dream of starfish and mermaids and gulls
Then in the morning time we'll launch our boat
Hoping not to sink and just stay afloat
Fishing and drinking is all that we do
I wonder where I'll get my next tattoo?
Good show

No-Nothing Rock! interview with Daniel Brummel and Ryen Slegr - Fall 2001

Original article (archived by Wayback Machine): https://web.archive.org/web/20070102210730/http://www.no-nothingrock.com/interview/ozma/
==Interview==
the interview in action.
it always seems that when i go to do an interview with a band something goes wrong. so, as history could have predicted, a problem arose with this interview, also. it seems that ozma's publicist and i had some tough communication problems and couldn't get a hold of eachother, and the interview was never confirmed, which = no michael on guestlist. so i try to think of what to do, and walking down the street, comes pat, ozma's drummer. i tell him the situation, we get things worked out. i still can't get backstage, but i do get an interview. and like always... it's in some awkward locale. the setting for this scene: a little hole in the wall next to the Metro in Chicago. so let the good times commence:

No Bars

"No Bars" is a song written by Rivers Cuomo in contention for Weezer's ninth album (eventually released in 2014 as Everything Will Be Alright in the End). Several demos of the song were released as part of the digital compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years on November 22, 2020.
===Appearances===
*Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years (2020)
==Overview==
The existence of "No Bars" first became known when it was described by fans who alleged to have heard it at focus groups between fall of 2012 and fall of 2013. According to these accounts, the song utilized cellphones as metaphors for a relationship. The song's existence was confirmed when it appeared on the riverscuomo.com demo storefront in October of 2020. The song was released as part of Alone XI on November 22.
The song's verse melody is shared by another demo from this era, "Only a Cockroach", which later formed the basis for the Van Weezer track "Beginning of the End".
==Lyrics==
===Demo (ver. 13)===
She's gonna give him
All of the love a girl can give
While I am stuck
In the middle of nowhere
Lookin' at my phone
Like what'll I do to pass the time?
Repeatedly play
A game of Brick Breaker?
I ain't got no bars
To call up my girl
She's out with another man
There's nothing I can do
99 bucks
And 25 Max Points at the store
I should have splurged
And gotten an Android
I ain't got no bars
To call up my girl
She's out with another man
There's nothing I can do
Is anyone there?
Can anyone make sweet love to me?
Or maybe just talk
Or buy me an ice cream?
'Cause I am as lonely
As an animal locked within a cage
Down in the hull
Of a big ocean liner
I ain't got no bars
To call up my girl
She's out with another man
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do

I don't understand
How to be the man
What do people want from me?
Gathering around
Waiting for some sound
I'm as dumb as I can be
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
Fascination grows
Sticking up their nose
Everyone is curious
I'm an alien
Guess I've always been
That's why I cause such a fuss
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
Learn to read
Learn how to write
You'll do good
You'll be all right
No contact
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
No contact, no contact
No contact
No contact, no contact
No contact

Cause I'm going to blow
Run away, before it's too late
You don't want to face but I'm no good for you
Run away, before it's too late
You don't want to date 'cause I'm no good for you

Now I never could with one
All of the drugs she does
Scare me real good
She's got a tattoo
And two pet snakes
Nobody knows me like her
Nobody knows her like me
We're all we've got and we don't wanna be alone.
No there is no other one
No there is no other one
