The Special Goodness concert: 11/02/1999

The Special Goodness performed at Club Laga in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on November 2, 1999, as part of their Fall 1999 tour. To the dismay of the band and fans, the venue's promoters made flyers for the show purporting that the band would be "playing all the weezer hits." After the main performance, to appease the audience, the band played the Weezer songs "Undone - The Sweater Song" and "Tired of Sex" and allowed attendees to climb on-stage and sing along.Karl Koch. "The Special Goodness tour diary - Fall 1999". weezer.net. Archived on Weezerpedia at The Special Goodness tour diary - Fall 1999. The entire show, including the "Weezer karaoke" segment, was recorded and circulated onlineWeezer Recording History - Page 11—though only the Weezer songs remain in circulation. After the show, the band stayed at the home of Weezer fan club member Justin Hoenke.

Welcome to the Special Pod-ness, a four-part mini-series dedicated to the history of The Special Goodness by the three dudes who (probably) know it best: Pat Wilson of Weezer, drummer Atom Willard (Rocket From the Crypt, Plosivs, Against Me!) and Karl Koch, Weezer historian.
As we celebrate the brand new red-colored vinyl edition of the band’s third album, Land Air Sea, Pat, Atom, and Karl take us back to the ‘90s and early 2000s to share stories about the ins and outs of the music industry, run-ins with other bands and musicians, and the making of the record. This episode focuses on the MTV Music Awards, Atom Willard meeting the Weezer/Special Goodness crew, and that time Jay Leno ended up knocking on Pat's door—and by the way, Elvis is involved.

Crack open the new vinyl edition of The Special Goodness’ Land Air Sea, and what you’ll find in the gatefold liner notes isn’t an essay on the recording process, an invocation of the band’s songwriting influences, or anything related to the actual tunes. Instead, you’ll find a statement from Pat Wilson of Weezer about his and shared obsession: vintage cars. 
From the cover of Land Air Sea to the bitchin’ new shirt over for sale, cars and trucks play heavy into the Special Goodness mythology. So for this episode, Weezer historian Karl Koch is focusing on the open road—discussing tours and Pat and Atom’s gearhead tendencies. Wanna share your favorite Special Goodness song?

==Overview==
Rivers Cuomo recorded a demo of "The Spider" in June of 2007 in contention for then-planned sixth album (The Red Album). This demo went unheard by fans until it was leaked online in November 2020 and subsequently released as part of the digital demo compilation Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years.

There's a spider in the drain and he's feeling pain
And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I
He's struggling to live but he doesn't have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I
We've got to die, we've got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die we rearrange
It's time to take it back again
It's time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you
There's nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece I'll go on my way
And fare thee well where'er you go
You might need help but I won't know
Cuz I'm up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven it could be hell
We'll never know just who we are
Cuz when we die we become a star
And stars can't talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light
We'd call out names and then start a fight
But then again that's what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
Cuz I'm in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can't win I've got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down ...the drain...
I'm insane

The Spin Rate interview with Daniel Brummel - October 2022

Original article (archived by Wayback Machine): https://web.archive.org/web/20221017140047/https://www.pitcherlist.com/the-spin-rate-baseball-by-ozma/

The Spin Rate: “Baseball” by Ozma
 "You and I were members/The best team in baseball." 
ERIK VAN RHEENEN
From walk-up songs to seventh-inning stretches, music and baseball are inextricably interwoven. The Spin Rate is a look at the stories behind the bands and artists who share a love for the sport, and the songs that draw inspiration from the annals of baseball lore.
You don’t need this column to tell you there are a litany of songs that reference baseball; the sport evokes its fair share of musical inspiration—in hip-hop and in rock ‘n’ roll, in tender folk and driving punk. But few songs brave taking up the eponymous mantle of “Baseball,” and few capture the fervent highs, pensive lows, and aching nostalgia of the national pastime quite like Ozma’s contribution to the game’s songbook.
I caught up with Ozma vocalist and bassist Daniel Brummel for this edition of The Spin Rate with an interview about fond Dodgers memories, a youth ball career as “Mr. Contact,” and the origins, inspirations, and AOL instant messaging sessions behind “Baseball.”
(This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.)

The Spindles

The Spindles were a short-lived but HIGHLY notable side project of Daniel Brummel in the early 1870's. Through intensive carbon dating, painstaking genealogical research, and smoking ungodly amounts of peyote, User:Moonbritches and User:HMC were able to determine that Daniel Brummel is the reincarnated soul of a one Franklin P. Weatherbottom, the first person ever to have been documented playing the guitar in the then-newly founded city of Pasadena, California. Weatherbottom/Brummel was joined by Thomas Garglechunk on percussion. Little is known of Garglechunk except, of course, for his boyish good looks.

Ooo until I let you go
I'll show up at the clubs
That I know you go to
I'll be there by myself
Hoping to run into you
No matter what you do
You could never stop me
From coming out to you
Even if you don't want me
And you just lead me on
For so many nights
That you won't get away
From me this time
I'll never let you go
I'll never give you up
I'll never walk away
Even though you said stop
I know you think you are
A superstar
And you're too good for me
Yeah, I know you are

The Star-Spangled Banner

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of The United States of America. Poet Francis Scott Key penned the poem in 1814 after witnessing the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The poem was then set to the tune of a song originally written by John Stafford Smith in 1780. Rivers Cuomo recorded a cover of the song at SIR Studios in Los Angeles in 2004, after which it was uploaded to Weezer.com and streamed to his Myspace profile.
==Lyrics==
O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Statue

"The Statue" is the third track from the album Free Flight Thru the Universe of Sound by Southern Fried Swing.
==Lyrics==
She gave me a stick of gum
I worked on the statue in the center of town 'til one
Then I had lunch
With some people I didn't know
That was okay
That was just good
Romance was in the air
It cut me
Romance was in the cards
And I held the deck
You see that its good
And it's not like it should
She was smarter than the rest
I couldn't help watching her left breast
Shine that light on me!

Don't you think that the story is wrong?
The introduction goes on too long
You have to sing but you don't know a song
But it's not so bad
It's not the same thing every day
And it's a clear and a beautiful day
And I guess there isn't much to say
Don't you think that my prospects are good?
Of being totally misunderstood
You said I can't but I know that I could
But it's not so bad
It's not the same thing every day
And it's a clear and a beautiful day
And I guess there isn't much to say

Some people never know
I hope you never go away
Don't be frightened, I am harmless
I just wanted to express this
You can get up and go if you like
I'm all alone in the story of my life
Nobody cares if I live or I die

Some people never know
I hope you never go away

The Suburban Advantage EP

The Suburban Advantage EP is a demo recorded by Patrick Wilson in spring 1994. It was Wilson's first "formal" demo tape. At the time, "Suburban Advantage" was used as an alias for Wilson's solo music, supplanted after the demo was completed by "Huge Guy" and eventually by his band The Special Goodness.
==Overview==
In the months following the recording of his fall 1993 demo My Spine, Wilson wrote and developed a fresh batch of music.Karl Koch (2000). Recording History. Archived from the original on Weezerpedia at:"October/November '93 Pat Wilson 8 track demo: "My Spine"""January - April '94Pat Wilson 8 tracks""late Spring 1994: the Suburban Advantage "ep" demo": a b He completed the Suburban Advantage demo tape in late spring 1994, combining new material and a handful of earlier song ideas for a total of seven tracks.
Wilson programmed the demo's percussion using a Dr. Rhythm drum machine on the TR-808 kit, opting not to record live drums in "an attempt to get a different sound". Karl Koch estimates that 8–10 copies of the tape were made and distributed among friends and Geffen industry contacts.: c Music from "Let's Go to the Mall" and "I Wouldn't Say It" would later be re-tooled into the Special Goodness songs "Riff", "Pardon Me", and "Everywhere". Ultimately, however, few songs from the demo would be revisited. When asked by a fan in 1997 whether any material from the demo would appear on future Special Goodness albums, Wilson reportedly said he "wasn't sure . . . he wrote those songs 'back in the day' and can't even remember how all of them go".Sean (January 13, 1997). Message sent to Weezer-Rules mailing list. Screenshot at :File:1997-01-13 Sean - no subject - weezer-rules message.png.
The full demo was bootlegged and traded among Weezer fans no later than January 1996.Jason Pline (January 13, 1996). "live shows & demos". Message sent to Weezer-Rules mailing list. Screenshot at :File:1996-01-13 Jason Pline - live shows & demos - weezer-rules message.png. Carli Allan of the Weezer Fan Club explicitly discouraged trading of the audio, stating in 1997 that the songs were "never meant to be released".Carli Allan (May 2, 1997). "dis-advantage". Message sent to Weezer-Rules mailing list. Screenshot at :File:1997-05-02 Carli Allan - dis-advantage - weezer-rules message.png. While the full demo remained obscure for some time, "Let's Go to the Mall", "New Wave Lullabye", and "If You Move Away" circulated fairly frequently during the late '90s; only these tracks are noted as having been bootlegged in the Weezer Recording History, ca. 2000.: c All seven tracks would eventually circulate widely in the 2000s and onwards.
