The TV Is On

"The TV Is On" is a song demoed by Matt Sharp in 1993 or 1994. The song appeared on the 2001 Rentals fan club compilation Excellent Stocking Stuffer.
==Lyrics==
The TV is boring me
I wish I hadn't turned it on
Lazy me, stupid me
Not pleased to be here all alone
Richard works on the trains all day
Trying to save gas and money
I just sit here wasting away
A coward, a loser, a dummy
The TV is on and you haven't long
Before you're soon to die
Before you lose your mind
You left me and the TV
I wish you had not turned it on
Lazy me, stupid me
Not pleased to be here all alone
Richard works on the trains all day
Trying to save gas and money
I just sit here wasting away
A coward, a loser, a dummy (Dummy!)
The TV on, I haven't long
Before I soon to die
Before I lose my mind
With the TV on, I haven't long
With the TV on, I'll soon be gone

At first you think it might be fun, spice up your life
Bad poetry from the drama in your life
Start shit with the one you love
Before you know it you're tangled in a scum
So pissed at the thing they said
You won't give in till the day you're dead
But you can't get it off your mind
That's the trouble with trouble
Hey, hey hey
Hey hey
That's the trouble with trouble
Hey, hey hey
Hey hey
It takes over the house
It takes over your whole life
That's the trouble with trouble
Hey, hey hey

The Truth

The Truth was a Christian Rock band founded by Kevin Ridel in 1991.
==Biography==
===Formation===
After the disbandment of Zoom (formerly known as Avant Garde) in 1990, Kevin Ridel moved from Los Angeles back to Connecticut. He would return a year later with his newly formed band The Truth to play shows as an attempt to finally establish himself on the music scene of Los Angeles. With this band only consisting of Jeffrey Urbach on drums, with whom he played in Zoom for a little while near the end of the band's active time, and 3 backing singers, Ridel asked his other former band mates Rivers Cuomo and Pat Finn to join The Truth's live line-up.
===Demo===
Before joining, Cuomo helped the band engineer their first demo tape. He also sang backing vocals and possibly played some guitar parts. This demo, the band's sole release, featured the following songs:
*"My Salvation"
*"Eyes of the Children"
*"With You in Heaven"
*"I Belong to God"
*"The Man, the Woman, and the Serpent"
*"Fisher of Men"
*"Move Through Me"
*"The Great Forever"
*"You Gave it All"
*"Stacey's Song"
*"Real Love"
*"My Love is For You"
*"Dreamland"
*"Kevin's Breakfast Cereal Rap" (a joke song)
===Live===
With Cuomo on bass and Finn on guitar, the band would at least play one show in Los Angeles at the Whiskey a Go Go after several reheasals. The exact date of this show is unknown. Known songs that were played are "My Salvation", "With You In Heaven", and "I Belong To God". The band only lasted a few more months after this show.

The Underdogs

"The Underdogs" (formerly "Who's Losing Who") is the fourteenth track (and fourth and final bonus track) on the deluxe release of Raditude.
===Appearances===
*Raditude (Deluxe, 2009)
*Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years (2020)
==Overview==
The lyrics for "The Underdogs" were written by Rivers Cuomo using music composed by Japanese songwriter Kazuhiro Hara, whose song "Meri Kuri" had previously been covered by Cuomo for use as a Japanese bonus track on self-titled Red Album. An earlier, slightly different mix of the song was leaked online in 2017. Early instrumental mixes of the song by Hara were mistakenly distributed as part of the digital demo compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years in November of 2020, before they were subsequently removed.

Everything we fight for
Seems to get shot down
No one seems to notice
It's like we ain't around
They tear us into pieces
And throw us here and there
No one knows how much we care
So much pain
So many tears
So much hurt
When we gonna learn? Oh
We got to give our best
And push until we break on through
We're shooting straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score
We're gonna break down the door
You wish you were at lunch
This time we got a hunch
We're the underdogs
The people that we trusted
Really let us down
Everybody wants to fly
And never touch the ground
They treat us like we're pieces
In a parlor game
Leaving us to take the blame
We don't care
We don't mind
We won't come
When they call, oh
We're takin' what they give
'Cause we can rise above it all
We're shooting straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score
We're gonna break down the door
You wish you were at lunch
This time we got a hunch
We're the underdogs
Feeling the pain
Hearing the names
We struggle till we are broken
For all this hurt
We thank you
We're shooting straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score
We're gonna break down your door
You wish you were at lunch
This time we got a hunch
We're the underdogs

"The Unofficials" is a song by Rivers Cuomo, originally demoed in consideration for what would eventually become Weezer's ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The demo was released as part of the digital compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years on November 20, 2020.

==Overview==
==Lyrics==
Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out
We like to ride on our bicycles
Up to the very top
Then it's back to the bottom 'cause, baby,
This train ain't ever gonna stop
They tell us exactly the things
That we should and we shouldn't do
'Cause we don't have any idea
What we're supposed to do
The screws keep on turning
We don't know who we're supposed to blame
We're watching the boat spin around
Till it goes right down the drain
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, what to say
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, who to pay
Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out
I'm a lonely man and I can see
That you are a lonely girl
They say opposites will attract
But I am a lot like you
Like father, like son, like mother
Like daughter, it passes on
We need someone strong to advise us
So we can keep keepin' on
I've just been makin' a fool of myself
For way too long
Stop tellin' me that I'm right
When you're thinking that I am wrong
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, what to say
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, who to pay
Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out

The Ups and Downs

"The Ups and Downs" is the fifth track from Rock and Roll Part Three.

* Punk Rock Is Your Friend (2002)
* Kung Fu Records Catalog Sampler 2002-2003 (2003)
* Ozma - Live Acoustic Set - July 12, 2000 (2021)
*Ozma - Live on KUCI - January 24, 2001 (2021)
==Overview==
Ryen Slegr recounts the song being based off the worst relationship experiences of himself, Daniel Brummel, and Jose Galvez. Brummel also recounts wanting to name a song "The Ups and Downs" after watching a sketch.https://youtu.be/z57xUM9C3nk
==Interpretation==
With the added context of the Jerry Seinfeld sketch, this song can be seen as a person's internal struggle between being an adult and being a child, a theme that is reiterated multiple times throughout the album. This struggle is best exemplified through the final breakdown of the song, in which there is a back and forth between disliking both up and down.

==Lyrics==
I've been cheating on you ever since we broke up
I've been dreaming about you ever since I woke up
And now my hearing's disappearing ever since you spoke up
So I'll devise a plot to break your heart
Think up a plan that I'll never carry out
What's wrong with you?
Tell me now
What should I do?
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of your love
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of you love
So I asked you to the show but I knew you'd never show up
You came to my birthday party just to tell me I should grow up
And then I see another girl and I think I'm gonna throw up!
So I'll devise a plan to nuke your man
Dirty tricks to come back and take command
I'll win your hand
We'll hijack a plane and we're never gonna land
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of your love
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of you love
Don't let me down (don't let me down)
I couldn't take much more of your love
Don't call me up (don't call me up)
I'm so sick and tired of being down
Don't let me down (don't call me up)
I'm so sick and tired of hanging up
Don't call me up (don't let me down)
I couldn't take much more of you love

A dagger in my back

Taking off your clothes was all that you could do
To hurt me back so bad when I was hurting you

Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well, it took so long, but I found out
What cheating love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you, gonna love you
The way I hate you now
I heard you went to the city
And told me that you couldn't go out
You said that he wouldn't be there
That's two things that you're lying about
You must think I'm a bit stupid
But turns out I'm a little bit smart
I put the pieces together
All you did was tear 'em apart
Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well, it took so long, but I found out
What cheating love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you, gonna love you
The way I hate you now
The way I hate you now
And then I start to get goosebumps
Feel the shivers all up my spine
He's got a beautiful body
It's just the kind of body you like
I'm looking into the mirror
Peeping at my trembling face
I guess I can't even blame you
It's just the fickle finger
Just the fickle finger of fate
You better watch your back
You better watch your back
Karma gonna get you back
Gonna get you back, gonna get you back
Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well, it took so long, but I found out
What cheating love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you, gonna love you
The way I hate you now

The Weezer Vault

The Weezer Vault is the name given to extensive archive of Weezer documents, music, merchandise, and paraphernalia. It contains a large volume of rare and publicly unseen material. It began in the '90s and has continued to be maintained in the present day.
Koch has streamed a handful of "Vault Dives" exclusively to Weezer Fan Club members — initially in 2020 through the video conferencing service Zoom, and later, starting in 2024, on the Weezer Fan Club app. These streams typically last 1–2 hours and involve Koch showcasing a series of unique, uncommon, or otherwise interesting pieces and providing information about their history and context.
==Overview==
Many pieces date back to 1991 or earlier; the vault's scope includes not only material directly pertaining to Weezer, but also the members' other musical projects and artists associated with or influential to Weezer. Koch's close relationship with the band has allowed him to procure many one-of-a-kind (or otherwise publicly inaccessible) pieces, such as demos, promotional pieces, and other personal items.
The vault began some time after the band's 1992 formation, likely in the late '90s or very early 2000s. As Koch continued collecting and archiving items for the band, it became necessary to section off an area in his personal media collection dedicated to Weezer items. It gradually grew in size over the course of the next 2–3 decades as Koch gathered more material and the band continued its activity — eventually becoming unmanageable in its original location. In 2023, Koch moved homes and relocated the vault to a more spacious area in his basement. He continues to maintain it in the present day; efforts to digitize its contents began in the late 2010s or early 2020s and are ongoing.
The title of Weezer's 2004 DVD, Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991-2002, makes reference to the Weezer Vault.
