==Lyrics==
When I woke up this morning
I knew what I had to find
Somewhere there exists a melody
That'll make you change your mind
So I got down to business
The best that I could do
Still nothing from these, lonely, foreign lips
Could be good enough for you
If you wanna run
Put the pedal to the metal
Tell me that we're done
Whistlin' like a kettle
You know you think you've won
But you still got a score to settle
So step on the pedal
It means metal
If we had just one minute alone
I know what I would say
This world and I are nothing now
But you make me want to stay
If you drop by to see me again
I'd open up the door
And get down to all that matters now
Which is getting down once more
If you wanna run
Put the pedal to the metal
Tell me that we're done
Whistlin' like a kettle
You know you think you've won
But you still got a score to settle
So step on the pedal
It means metal
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business
The business of getting down
Get down to business

The Cars

The Cars were one of the most successful of the "new wave" of rock bands emerging in the late 70s and early 80s. Their blend of power pop, synth, and DIY ethic made them a crossover band, appealing to classic rockers, punks, and everyone in between. The band was fronted by guitarist and singer/songwriter Ric Ocasek. Upon the band's split after the 1987 album Door To Door, Ocasek went on to pursue a career as a solo artist and producer. He produced three albums by Weezer: the successful, self-titled "Blue" and "Green" albums, as well as the 2014 album Everything Will Be Alright in the End.
Weezer, particularly Rivers Cuomo, considers the Cars at least a minor influence. On August 6th, 1993, Weezer covered the song "Just What I Needed" during rehearsal sessions at Cole Rehearsal Studios in Hollywood, CA. In 2012, Weezer covered "You Might Think" for the soundtrack to the film Cars 2. In 2018, when the Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, they recruited Weezer bassist Scott Shriner to play on stage with them at the ceremony.

The Con

The Con is the fifth album by Tegan and Sara. It was released on July 24, 2007. It features Matt Sharp on bass for half for the songs.
==10th anniversary essay==
Matt Sharp contributed a short written piece to an NPR article in July 2017 to mark the 10th anniversary of The Con.
The demos I'd received were already layered with these brilliant keyboards that Sara had played at her apartment in Montreal. They had a very distinct point of view and you could tell those sounds were going to color the album in a way that was unique to her. A couple years before I had scattered a few atmospheric synthesizers in the background of So Jealous, but it quickly became apparent that those same ingredients wouldn't be helpful here. The executive decision was made for me to try and add a little bass guitar instead, to be the barbaric yang to Hunter Burgan's proficient yin. Sara's keyboard parts had already filled the songs with boundless amounts of comforting low frequencies — so off I went on an adventure I rarely make, above the 12th fret.
I can remember sitting at the mixing board next to Chris [Walla]. He had this Raymond Babbitt ability to keep track of each time I was slightly ahead or behind the beat. Then he would ask me to play the same part one more time and with savant-like precision, he would "punch in" and "punch out" as the song rolled along on this glitchy, antiquated digital recording system that he seemed to love for some reason. After just one or two additional passes through whatever song we were working on, Chris would say, "Got it!" To which I would ask, "Got what?" and receive an economical, "Oh, nothing." He had the gift to make us sound like we were all one-take wonders. And before I knew it, I was on my way back home.
In some ways, The Con is that album most of us secretly hope our favorite band is just about to make: one where the raw desire to share their story leaves things a little rough around the edges. You may struggle a little to find your connection with albums like this one: They can be unsettling, a little off-center, odd in tone and difficult to understand, at first. But once you get there, after moving through the dissonance and making it to the other side, the bond that you share with that music can become so meaningful that it just might stay with you forever.

The Constitution of the United States of Weezer

The Constitution of the United States of Weezer is a document that was created in 2007 as a way of making sure the band stays true to it's goals.
==Overview==
The Constitution of the United States of Weezer was mentioned in a June 2008 issue of Spin Magazine, in which it is referred to as a "sacred parchment". None of the band members will divulge any specifics of the document but it is inferred that part of it refers to division of labor, allowing each member to contribute.
===Spin Magazine Mention Transcript===
"I think we're the only band in the history of rock with a mission statement and a constitution," Bell says. "The Constitution of the United States of Weezer was drafted over a year ago as a way of making sure we stay true to our goals, and it kept us focused in a way we'd never been before. We have to prove to ourselves that we're still valid and that rock music is still valid."
No one will divulge any specific tenets of this sacred parchment, but a major one seems to concern the division of labor. While Cuomo has always been the band's de facto leader (and he admits he is publicly perceived as “the guy who wears glasses and is nerdy and whines a lot and is a control freak”), he was more than ready to share the burden. Everyone contributed songs and switched instruments, and the new album features two tracks that were neither written nor sung by Rivers Cuomo: Bell's "Thought I Knew” and drummer Pat Wilson's "Automatic." A third, Cuomo's uncharacteristically creepy “Cold, Dark World," has Shriner on lead vocals. SPIN Media LLC. SPIN. SPIN Media LLC; June 2008. p. 64.

The Cornerstone Player 016

The Cornerstone Player 016 is the sixteenth edition of a sampler CD compiled by promotional company Cornerstone.
==Overview==
With the cover of TCP 016 touting "new music, imports, rarities, production, videos", the two-disc set is composed of a completely audio Disc One, and Disc Two features a few dance tracks linked in a megamix, with several CD-ROM videos and video game demos. The Disc One features intermittent spoken word/announcement tracks much like a radio station ID, and the whole thing plays like a radio show.
Disc One of TCP 016 contains an extremely rare Weezer acoustic rendition of "Buddy Holly", recorded at St. Louis radio station KPNT. The disc's artwork does not specify the date of the recording, but Rivers' Catalog of Riffs suggests it was on August 31, 1994.

===The Crazy Impossible Days (ver. 4)===
I was shuffle-walking down a lonely street
Looking for some college buddies I was supposed to meet
They were waitin' for me, yeah, or so I thought
Until I found they were laughing on some other block
??? drifting at sea
Tears in my eyes, oh, woe is me
Trouble's the only friend that I've got to see
And every day, we walk in a straight line
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up
But things won't change until we embrace these days
The crazy impossible days
Sticks and stones are breakin' my bones
And ??? are calling me names
But things won't change until we embrace these days
The crazy impossible days
I was looking forward to some brotherhood
Exchanging numbers and feeling like I was understood
But all I got was nada, a mystery unveil
I tried to lift it up but there was nothing under there
??? drifting at sea
Tears in my eyes, oh, woe is me
Trouble's the only friend that I've got to see
And every day, we walk in a straight line
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up
But things won't change until we embrace these days
The crazy impossible days
Sticks and stones are breakin' my bones
And ??? are calling me names
But things won't change until we embrace these days
The crazy impossible days

The Cruise

"The Cruise" is the fourth song on The Rentals' 1999 album Seven More Minutes.
==Overview==
"The Cruise" is a reworking of an earlier Rentals song, "So Soon", an outtake from the For The Ladies sessions, released as a B-side on multiple "Friends of P." singles. The song is likely inspired by Matt Sharp's friend Timothy "Speed" Levitch, who had previously performed spoken word poetry with Weezer and was the subject of the 1998 Bennett Miller film The Cruise. Levitch's voice is sampled at the end of the song ("But mostly keep it alive"), from a longer poem excerpt (that can be heard on an earlier demo version of the song on the Little Russell Street compilation).

There's so many of you, so many people I see
So many of you that I'd like to meet
So many things we could do 
If you only knew
Jump with you, sleep with you, cheat on our soul mates and find
That some people care and some they don't mind
It don't matter we do what we do 
As we break on through 
We sing
Out of tune
We are on the cruise
The cruise
Optimistic right now, maybe I am, 
I know how so many people hate that
They'd rather see you lose 
And drag you in the hole they're into
Jump with you, laugh with you, babble while they criticize
Let them say what they say, no I really don't mind
Just let them do what they do 
As we break on through
Sleep with you
Deceive with you
Laugh with you
Break on through to the cruise
Yeah, we sing
Out of tune 
We are on the cruise
The cruise
There's so many of you, so many people I see
So many of you that I'd like to meet
There's so many things we could do on the cruise
We're on the cruise

The Daily Iowan interview with Matt Sharp - October 10, 2002

Former Weezer bassist discusses life after stardom
By Dan Maloney
----
IOWA CITY, Iowa—Wednesday, 3:30 p.m., Ames, Iowa: The former Weezer bass player and frontman for the Rentals, Matt Sharp, sits in a hotel room, recovering from a mild cold and a show the night before at the M-Shop on the Iowa State campus.
He picks up the phone and calls me in the Daily Iowan newsroom. His bed-ridden voice welcomes me with a pungent hello, and he tells me that he's watching a celebrity profile on Anthony Hopkins and sipping green tea with a lime to aid his sickness. In the course of an hour, Sharp and I discuss his recent musical endeavor, former days with Weezer and the Rentals, and a little about his recent lawsuit with Weezer. Sharp, joined by former Cake guitarist Greg Brown, will play an intimate acoustic set of new material Friday night in the IMU Wheelroom.

Vanished up in smoke
Now I have no hope

One more tear
Falling down your face
Doesn't mean that much
To the world
One more loss
In a losing life
Doesn't hurt so bad
Anymore
Let it go

Let it go
The damage in your heart
I can't tell you how the words have made me feel
I can't tell you how the words have made me feel

The Dawn

"The Dawn" is a song by Weezer. Though never released on an album, the song was performed live several times throughout 2001.
===Appearances===
*Released on weezer.com
*Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years (2020)
==Overview==
Rivers Cuomo wrote "The Dawn" 2001, recording a demo to a handheld recorder.Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, liner notes The song shares its single-verse structure with the song "Your Room", written shortly thereafter. Cuomo's initial demo was released as part of the demo compilation Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years in 2020.
"Your Room" is first known to have been demoed during the recording sessions at Sage & Sound Studios in Hollywood from August 29 through September 8, 2001, the first sessions to feature bassist Scott Shriner.Weezer Recording History - Page 13 The song was demoed several times over the next several months. The song was included with the "Black album" sets of demos recorded at Steakhouse Studios and Cello Studios. The song made its live debut during a performance by the band for the HBO show Reverb (wherein the band performed as "Goat Punishment") at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, though the performance of "The Dawn" did not air. The song continued to be performed during the Hyper-Extended Midget Tour and was included in most setlists throughout the remainder of the year, frequently as the opening song. Karl Koch uploaded soundboard recordings of some of these performances to Weezer.com. The song was performed for the final time on December 11 and was, apparently, abandoned shortly thereafter, as it was not attempted during the sessions for Maladroit, which began a few days later on the 16th.
During live performances, Rivers Cuomo would often conclude the song by saying to the audience "Good morning", despite concerts typically being played at night. The December 6 soundboard recording of the song begins with Cuomo saying "I like the way you smack my ass", in a reference to the song "Control" by Puddle of Mudd.
To date, no studio recordings of "The Dawn" exist in circulation, only live bootlegs and soundboard recordings. However, a similar opening guitar riff to that of the one used in "The Dawn" would be used in the 2002 demo "Hey Domingo!", which also shares a COR# with the song "Peace", which appeared on the band's 2005 album Make Believe.
