Rachel Haden

Rachel Haden is a musician. The daughter of jazz bassist Charlie Haden, her triplet sisters Petra and Tanya are also musicians.
==Overview==
Rachel Haden co-founded That Dog in 1992 with her sister, Petra, and their high school friend Anna Waronker. The band later enlisted drummer Tony Maxwell. The band released three studio albums from 1993 to 1997 before splitting up.
In 1995, Haden collaborated with Weezer’s Matt Sharp on the project that would eventually manifest as the Rentals. Said Haden in a 2006 interview, "I sang on about six or seven songs, and Matt started to slowly get a band together and wanted me to be a part of it, but I couldn’t do it at the time." In 1996, she performed lead vocals on Weezer’s "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams", one of few officially released Weezer songs to feature female lead vocals. This song was originally written for the abandoned Songs from the Black Hole album. Haden was Rivers Cuomo's choice to play the "good girl" character, Laurel. Cuomo confirmed in 2020 that Haden was partially the inspiration for the song "Sheila Can Do [It]" (originally titled "Rachel").
In 2001, Rachel performed backup vocals on several tracks on Jimmy Eat World's breakout album Bleed American, and toured as a backup singer and keyboardist. In 2005, she rejoined the newly-reformed Rentals, appearing on the Last Little Life EP and performing during the band's 2006/2007 tours. Haden also contributed vocals to the track "Heartache vs Heartbreak" on the album Pasadena by Ozma.
On January 21, 2011 she joined Weezer on stage for the encore at their Memories Tour show in Las Vegas to sing "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" for the first time live with the band. Also in 2011, That Dog reunited to perform shows. In 2019, the band released their fourth studio album, Old LP.

Radioactive

Radioactive is debut album.
==Overview==
Radioactive was released with the help of Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo. After a failing to find support for a debut album, AM Radio enlisted Cuomo as their manager. Cuomo took them along on three of Weezer's tours in 2002, and that exposure helped the band get signed to Elektra Records. "Taken for a Ride" and "I Just Wanna Be Loved" received commercial success with the aid of Smallville and One Tree Hill respectively, two WB TV shows that featured the songs on episodes.

Radiohead

Radiohead is an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The band consists of , brothers Jonny and , , and . Weezer has covered two of their songs, "Creep" and "Paranoid Android".
==Connection with Weezer==
The producers of Radiohead's Pablo Honey, Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade, were interested in producing Weezer's debut album, but Weezer would ultimately pick Ric Ocasek. During the production of the album, Weezer insisted that the guitars be mixed as loud as the guitars on "Creep", burying some vocals.Hiatt, Brian (August 28, 2019). "The Strange Birth and Near Death of Weezer". Rolling Stone. Retrieved July 16, 2022.
Weezer opened for Radiohead at the Black Sessions for French radio show C'est Lenoir on February 21, 1995.
Underneath the CD tray of The Green Album, the word "no" can be found. This could be a response to Radiohead's OK Computer CD containing the text "I like you. I like you. You are a wonderful person. I'm full of enthusiasm. I'm going places. I'll be happy to help you. I am an important person, would you like to come home with me?" in the same spot. This, however, has not been confirmed. Weezer's official response was ambiguous, simply saying "no means no".Koch, Karl. "Frequently Asked Questions". Weezer.com. Archived from the original on April 14, 2008. Retrieved July 16, 2022.
Weezer began performing "Creep" at various hootenannies during 2008, with Scott Shriner on lead vocals.
On April 18, 2011, Rivers Cuomo hinted that Weezer was rehearsing "Paranoid Android" with a tweet that read "Time to learn Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android.'".Rivers Cuomo [@riverscuomo] (April 18, 2011). "Time to learn Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android.'" (Tweet) – via Twitter. Weezer's cover of the song was then released as a video on YouTube on May 27. The song was performed live for the first time on the same day at a concert in Atlantic City, NJ. Weezer continued to play the song live at numerous concerts throughout the year, with its most recent performance being on the Lido Deck during the Weezer Cruise on January 19, 2012.
"Paranoid Android" is directly referenced in the lyrics of "Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori".
OK Human's title is a play on the title of Radiohead's album OK Computer. In 2021, following the release of OK Human, Cuomo shared his thoughts on OK Computer, stating that it "completely obliterated" him, and compared the failure of Pinkerton and the success of OK Computer to the rivalry between the Beach Boys and the Beatles during the 60s, and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds being far surpassed by the the Beatles' Revolver in success.Cingrana, Joe (January 29, 2021).

Raditude ...Happy Record Store Day!

Raditude ...Happy Record Store Day! is an EP exclusive to independent retailers for 2010's annual Record Store Day.
==Overview==
After Rivers Cuomo tested the waters by releasing the Not Alone EP and DVD the previous year, Weezer decided to release this five-song EP for Record Store Day, an annual event promoting the awareness and patronage of local, independent music retailers. The EP contains five previously unreleased live and session versions, supposedly hand-picked by the band.
Two of the tracks, "I'm Your Daddy" and "Brain Stew", are the 2009 AOL Sessions versions. "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" is an acoustic session that features Sara Bareilles in a duet with Rivers, just as the AOL Session and some live versions had. "Why Bother?" and "Buddy Holly" are live versions.
==Artwork==
The disc features cover art reminiscent of that of Raditude. In fact, the cover art uses the same Weezer and Raditude logos found on the album, and superimposes Sidney the dog into a photo of the inside of a record store.

Raditude Allmusic record review

If Weezer's 2008 eponymous Red Album was all about singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo coming to terms with heading into middle age, then 2009's Raditude finds Cuomo looking back upon his own carefree, dirt bike-riding youth and writing songs about it, but filtered through the eyes of Weezer's younger fans. In that sense, Raditude comes off as a kind of Big Chill-esque concept album for Gen-Y kids who grew up in the '90s. To these ends, Cuomo packs these largely poppy and rockin' songs with concrete images and cultural references that are just slightly warped and out of phase with his own generational timeline. As on the driving, '60s-soul inflected opening track "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," Cuomo croons to his teenage girlfriend, "Your Slayer t-shirt fit the scene just right" and later, "We watched Titanic and it didn't make us sad." The Titanic reference is clearly a touchstone for any Gen-Y kid, and even the Slayer shout-out -- though an '80s metal band -- seems to imply a '90s teen wearing her older brother's worn-out t-shirt. At first, the song seems to be a sophomoric and jokey make-out track hinging on the line, "So make a move 'cuz I ain't got all night." However, the song ends with the teen couple staring at each other as grown-ups in a troubled marriage with nothing left to say to fix their problems but, "make a move 'cuz I ain't got all night." The ironic ending only backs up the notion that Cuomo, having worked through his own mid-life crisis on the "Red Album," now has his aging Gen-Y fans and their issues on his mind. Musically, Raditude really sounds like vintage Weezer, but never in a pandering, played-out way. In that sense, we get the band's now-classic mix of old-school '50s pop with big, hooky '70s rawk guitars, and tracks like sublimely power poppy "I'm Your Daddy," and the cheeky glitter rock-inspired anthem "The Girl Got Hot" are as sparkling with creative enthusiasm as anything the band has done since "Buddy Holly." Similarly, tracks that include the slight hip-hop and R&B touches the band has favored in recent years fit perfectly into the sound of an album crafted for an audience who came of age in the late '90s and early '00s. Even the much anticipated party-rap song "Can't Stop the Partying" featuring rapper Lil Wayne is a dark, minor-key rumination on the downside of living it up on the party circuit and is the furthest thing from white-guy novelty-rap goofiness. Ultimately, it's Weezer's deft mixing of immediately hummable rock with lyrics that reveal Cuomo's own melancholy gaze on the pop landscape that makes Raditude a passionate surrender to growing up and a throw-your-arms-up-and-scream ride down the other side of the mid-life roller coaster.

Raditude Paste Magazine record review

This Rivers is all dried up
Weezer fans often cry that haters should quit comparing the band’s later work to Pinkerton and the blue album.
That’s fair—bands change, and music evolves. Thing is, even without hope for a return to form, we’re still left sifting through dribble that barely passes as All-American Rejects’ rejects. Had the classics never existed, there’d be little reason to care about Weezer at all.
While the green and red albums were steps towards mediocrity, Raditude, Weezer’s seventh, dives headfirst into a vapid, power-pop purgatory. The songs largely maintain Weezer’s familiar guitar crunch, but where Rivers Cuomo’s cheeseball lyrics used to seem caustically ironic, appealing to radio fiends and more thorough listeners, here they seem tossed off. Raditude is an album of surface appeal—there’s no heart beating inside these plasticized tunes.
Maybe that’s the point. As the band has moved further from the soul baring of Pinkerton for five albums now, Cuomo is set on capturing the perfect pop hook. At times he comes somewhat close—“(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” is a punchy, start-stop sing-along. But the choruses are fleeting; catchy for a moment but ultimately forgettable.
Weezer veers into new genres, but the results are the record’s worst songs. The sitar-laden “Love Is the Answer” sounds like something Sting sneezed out; “I Don’t Want to Let You Go” is blander than Snow Patrol’s minivan rock and “Can’t Stop Partying,” though an obvious satire of celebrity culture (featuring laziest verse ever) is a flaming bag of electro-pop dog shit—it’ll just mess up your shoes.
If these songs were fun, memorable little tunes, Weezer’s conscious shift from irony-loving nerd-rockers to irony-loving radio hounds would be palatable. In the genuinely damaged ballad “Put Me Back Together,” Cuomo sings, “Here, it’s clear that I’m not getting better.” Sad but true.

Raditude Rolling Stone record review

Do you think Rivers Cuomo ever gets tired of pissing people off? Check that album title again. The fact that he’s willing to slap a title like Raditude on his work shows that when it comes to taunting and baiting the crowd, Cuomo makes every other rock star out there look like a dilettante. Ever since he attracted the obsessive Weezer cult with Pinkerton, he’s inspired wildly hyperbolic reactions to his every move. So to a casual fan, each Weezer album sounds pretty great, and each Weezer album sounds exactly like the last one. But to a true Weezer cultist, each is a shameful betrayal of everything “El Scorcho” stood for. Which was what, exactly?
Raditude is full of gloriously cheesy Weezer tunes, led by the ridonk geek-love anthem “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To.” He teams up with Jermaine Dupri and Lil Wayne for the hilarious “Can’t Stop Partying,” and he veers into dance-pop production with Dr. Luke for “I’m Your Daddy,” wowing the ladies with his moonwalk moves and cheese fondue. His willingness to make fun of his psychosexual damage only makes it more poignant. The not-quite-ironic melancholy of “Can’t Stop Partying” may reflect a uniquely twisted relationship with his twisted audience. But from the sound of Raditude, Cuomo savors every minute of it.

Raditude Slant Magazine record review

Weezer’s unpardonable decline into soulless streamlined pop-rock continues with Raditude. This terribly titled and woefully written record consists of odes to partying, romance, and girls who “got hot,” executed with enough deplorable simplicity and inane libretto to unequivocally quash any interest in their output from here on in. For those who, like me, were appalled by forays into teen-pleasing power-pop anthems or were naïvely holding out for a return to Rivers Cuomo’s melancholic roots, this album is not for you. For those who are juggling pubescent strife with trips to the mall and petty school crushes, congratulations, you are a cherished member of Weezer’s newfound demographic.
It pains me to lambast Weezer with such vitriol, but Raditude is a thematically vacant and sonically uninspired collection of ditties tailor-made for mainstream radio; it consistently fringes on unlistenable. The album opens with lead single “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” sporting a stout acoustic riff that owes a lot to the Jam’s “Town Called Malice” as well as John Fred & His Playboys’s “Judy in Disguise.” Building on this with an admittedly catchy chorus, Cuomo spins a meet-the-parents story that, however sincere he may be, seems a bizarre topic for a man on the verge of 40. The same can be said for much of Raditude’s subject matter, as the frontman discusses high-school politics as though they still apply to him. “The Girl Got Hot” is a gormless warning to keep an eye on the ugly girls because they may flower into fine sights with age, while “In the Mall” squanders Patrick Wilson’s refreshingly dirty guitar riff on vacuous blathering like “Take the elevator/To the escalator/Ride it down and start again.”
It is with the help of Lil’ Wayne and Jermaine Dupri that Weezer pen their own obituary, calling on the hip-hoppers to grace—or, rather, disgrace—“Can’t Stop Partying,” an unconvincing yarn of excess in which Cuomo raps clangers such as “I got the real big posse with me, yeah, I’m deep/And if you lookin’ for me I’m in V.I.P” and “Screw rehab, I love my addiction/No sleep, no sleep, I’m always on a mission.” Even the most dogged members of the Weezer fanbase will struggle to mount a shred of defense for such an abhorrent cocktail of deluded lyricism and indolent musicianship.

Raditude The Onion A.V. Club record review

Presuming to know what’s going through an artist’s mind can be dangerous, especially when that artist’s muse is as flighty as Rivers Cuomo’s. Post-Pinkerton, that little bugger has led the Weezer frontman through a number of inexplicable stylistic swerves, from the power-pop reboot of the self-titled "green album" to the underrated guitar heroics of Maladroit to the faux-Who theatrics of the "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" from the self-titled "red album." Saddling the band’s latest with a title that grows stupider with every utterance—Raditude—may indicate to some that Cuomo’s muse has taken a layover in “just goofin’” territory, and the lack of sentiment within would certainly confirm that. But digging deeper—and taking the briefest glimpse at what’s behind the Buddy Holly glasses—reveals there’s no one dictating the songs Cuomo writes these days other than himself. And he apparently wants to hear more of the last two years of Top 40 radio.
Weezer’s first and second records set trends; its seventh chases them, with "The Girl Got Hot" aping the Gary Glitter shuffle that’s been all the rage post-”I Kissed A Girl” and Lil Wayne dropping a second-rate verse into the 3OH!3-esque "Can’t Stop Partying." Still, the band—and a handful of outside songwriters—have written some well-crafted pop for Raditude, as the synth breakdown of "I’m Your Daddy" and the subtle counterpoint to Cuomo’s "Put Me Back Together" vocals attest. But hooks only go so far, and outside of "Put Me Back Together" and "I Don’t Want To Let You Go," Cuomo doesn’t appear interested in propping them up with human emotions. Even for a guy who once admitted to having inappropriate relations with his fan mail, it’s an odd record—a personal statement without the person.

Rain of the Golden Gorilla

"Rain of the Golden Gorilla" is the third track from the compilation Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars by Ozma.
===Appearances===
*Ocho (1997)
*Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars (1998)
* Ozma - Live Acoustic Set - July 12, 2000 (2021)
*Cuatro y Ocho (2021)
==Overview==
Daniel Brummel recounts the song being about a period in his life in which he had fallen in love with "a girl who somehow ended up with the gorilla nickname" at a residential arts program.
"Rain of the Golden Gorilla" was originally recorded as an instrumental for the 1997 4-track demo cassette Ocho. The song was later re-recorded with vocals. The classical song "Udan Mas," (which translates to "Golden Rain") was the basis for this song.
==Lyrics==
I see you every day
But I tear my eyes away
'Cause if you can't be mine
I don't wanna waste my time
I don't wanna waste my time
I see you now and then
But I look away again
Cause if you're not the one I'm for
I don't wanna suffer anymore
I don't wanna suffer anymore
I don't wanna suffer anymore
I don't wanna suffer anymore
I know the end is near
It has been since the start
But that still doesn't mean
That I could keep you from my heart
That I could keep you from my heart
I couldn't keep you from my heart
I couldn't keep you from my heart
I see you every day
But I tear my eyes away
'Cause if you can't be mine
I don't wanna waste my time
I don't wanna waste my time
The sound flowing through these cables is the blood in my veins
The sound flowing through these cables is the blood in my veins

Her name was Raina. 
She blew my mind. 
What a mouth she had on her. 
What a thing you'd never want to find. 
She blew my mind. 
I walked her to the door. 
I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore." 
I walked her to the door. 
I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore." 
Her name was Raina. 
She made me sick inside 
With all her chitterchat. 
I want to run and hide. 
She made me sick inside. 
I walked her to the door. 
I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore." 
I walked her to the door. 
I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore." 
Raina, she blew my mind. 
She made me sick inside.
