==Overview==
"Average Town" was recorded in 1998. The Catalog O' Riffs lists the song with the designation "C-9" (the ninth in a series of fourteen "C" demos), though the meaning of this designation is unknown.
==Lyrics==
Sing a melody, break it to me low
Fall apart and then let go
All I want to do is have a little fun
I'm needy when I'm feeling low
I don't really care who or why or where
Girl, you gotta run around
Everybody knows it's just another average town
Call me when you can, try to understand
I don't want to ask too much
If you want a friend, we can both pretend
You can be my latest crutch
I don't really care who or why or where
Girl, you gotta run around
Everybody knows it's just another average town
Sing a melody, break it to me low
Fall apart and then let go
All I want to do is have a little fun
I'm needy when I'm feeling low
I don't really care who or why or where
Girl, you gotta run around
Everybody knows it's just another average town
Everybody knows it's just another average town
Everybody knows it's just another average town

"Ayleen" was written by Rivers Cuomo while living at an apartment on Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1999. The song was later demoed by Weezer and featured on a demo tape in 2000, submitted by the band to Interscope/Geffen in hopes of receiving approval for a third albumKarl's Corner - 11/07/2000. The song remained in contention for The Green Album during recording sessions at Cuomo's home studio, but was retired by the time the band entered the studio in December of 2000.

Ayleen
Why don't you come on home, girl?
You're shining like a pearl
And you can't wait to be alone
Yeah, yeah

Just whacha' think you're doin'?
Our lives are like the wind
And I can't wait to be alone
Yeah, yeah

And I can't wait to take you home
Yeah, yeah

B.G.

B.G. is, apparently, a woman with whom Rivers Cuomo was acquainted, who inspired some of the songwriting on Pinkerton. In Spring of 1996, Cuomo wrote a cello/piano composition "for B.G." (featured as sheet music in The Pinkerton Diaries):
<youtube>eS9LFFg3TF4</youtube>
It is unknown to what degree "B.G." inspired Pinkerton, but in another excerpt from The Pinkerton Diaries dated November 17, 1996, Cuomo writes:
 I'm feeling so incredibly guilty about exposing B.G. on our album.
 What a terrible thing to say!
 She must be crushed! -- and yet it is true.
 God, I'm so sorry. Life is so cruel.
 I need a love to save me. An unselfish love. Can I ever step back from this life? This life of partying, aggression, sex, and ego? Can any other life quell my ever expanding id?

BANDS Magazine interview with Karl Koch - April 30, 2005

Originally in German - translation by Weezerpedia admin Donny.
On the occasion of the release of the fifth, long overdue album Make Believe by Weezer, by all means we had to do an interview. Karl Koch, not the paranoid world conspiracy theorist from the movie 23, but fifth member, archivist and webmaster of Weezer, agreed to do an interview with BANDS.
Visually, Karl Koch perfectly fits the image of Weezer. Horn-rimmed glasses, bog-standard haircut, maintaining a low profile but focused with an uncompromised passion. It was him that collected all the material for the Weezer DVD Video Capture Device over the years.
Let’s see if Karl will stay out of the spotlight any longer. Thanks a lot, Karl Koch!

BBC Sessions

This page catalogs sessions Weezer did for the BBC.
==1995==
On January 26, 1995, Weezer recorded four songs for the famous BBC Evening Sessions at the BBC Radio 1 Studios in London.
The setlist was as follows:
Two acoustic songs were also recorded for Greater London Radio (now BBC Radio London) during these sessions:
Both of these recordings would be officially released on the super deluxe edition of The Blue Album in 2024, and video shot by Karl Koch during recording would be featured in Video Capture Device.
==2001==
The 2001 BBC Sessions were songs recorded for Radio 1 show The Evening Session, presented by Steve Lamacq on June 13th, 2001. Normally, a group records four tracks from their albums (usually the most recent), but Weezer insisted on taping all new material, and twice as much as required! Four songs were completed and aired on BBC radio, with the remaining four to be finished up in Los Angeles during a July 9th session. "December" was later released as a free mp3 at the band's official site, and the four broadcast tracks were bootlegged and widely available. Most of these tracks were originally recorded during the May 27th DC Demos, and four of them eventually were released on the following year's Maladroit.

Stay with me for a while
Your mama don’t expect you for a while
Let me give you a kiss
I kiss you just like this
Your mama never kissed you like this
Baby, baby
Haven’t you seen the day?
Let your flower out and in the sun
Baby, baby
You don't have to be afraid
Ain’t nobody gonna hurt you anymore
Take off all of your clothes
We don't have to be shy
No one else can see you, only I
Stand up in front of me
And let me see
No one else will love you like me
Girl, love is real
You dream away

Back Away

"Back Away" is a song by the Special Goodness. It was played live in June 2000. 
==Overview==
The song can be traced to early 1999; in 2024, Patrick Wilson recalled that he may have rehearsed it in basement during the period in 1999 where the two lived nearby in Oregon. It is not known to have been demoed or recorded by the band at any point. A soundboard recording of the song from a concert in mid-June 2000 at Spaceland has circulated online. 
The song remained obscure until it was posted to the Weezerpedia Discord Server in June 2024. Its title having been lost to time, Karl Koch offered the provisional title "The Bottom Is the Top". In a private discussion with Koch, Wilson, who too could not recall the official title, called it "a song that didn't work". The official title was rediscovered shortly after, as it is stated outright in the audio of the June 2000 bootleg.Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch. June 6, 2024.
==Lyrics==
Back away from the breast implant, if you know what's good
Lots of people don't care for you even though they should
I want you to feel good about everything you've got
They want you to feel good about bein' something you're not
I live inside a world where the bottom is the top
I don't know how it started and I don't know where it stops
Back away from the nightly news and you're doing well
All they want is for you to view everything they sell
I want you to feel good about everything you've got
They want you to feel good about bein' something you're not
I live inside a world where the bottom is the top
I don't know how it started and I don't know where it stops
I live inside a world where the bottom is the top
I don't know how it started and I don't know where it stops
I live inside a world where the bottom is the top
I don't know how it started and I don't know where it stops

Back in the Garage

Back in the Garage is an unlicensed CD-R bootleg credited to the labels and Y2K Entertainment and Trade Mark of Quality, released in 1999. The audio for the first 16 tracks are sourced from a recording of August 21, 1996 performance at the Garage in London, UK. The final two tracks come from the band's April 1, 1995 live radio performance at Cat's Paw Studios in Atlanta, GA, although the bootleg simply labels the songs "Live x Atranta". Numerous additional credits are included on the back of the CD-R's art, including "Afganistan Communication Inc." (also "Afganistan pirate satelites communication Inc."), "United Supernova", "WAR(is OVER) International Inc" (apparently "for all the other nations"), and "still underground company" (to whom the bootleg's cover art is attributed). The photo used on its front art is originally a 1996 promotional photo shot by Arton Corbijn and distributed by Geffen Records.
At the beginning of "Tired of Sex" is a short cover of "The Trooper". The acoustic version of "No One Else" included as track 17 of this bootleg is the same version which later appears on disc two of the 2004 deluxe edition of Weezer (The Blue Album). Some tracks are rendered with incorrect titles on the bootleg's art, notably including: "Natural Charms" ("Falling for You"), "Say It Isn't So" ("Say It Ain't So"), and "Surf Sex" ("Surf Wax America").

A full belly boasts the little hun
His dead cat's a windchime
Its bones hang in the burnt sun
A headless Barbie, she's nailed to a tree
A brutal symbol of the two year old's dynasty
His reign is built on terror
His mother, she swings the axe
Our juice is sucked through the nipple
Of the backyard king, yeah
Tonka toys that carry nicotine
14 issues of Penthouse and some other things found obscene
His swing set is a playschool gallo
His doorstep's, his throne, his crown's made out of Lego
His reign is built on terror
His mother, she swings the axe
Our juice is sucked through the nipple
Of the backyard king, yeah
He's a real little guy
(About thirty six inches)
But he carries a big stick
His reign is built on terror
His mother, she swings the axe
Our juice is sucked through the nipple
Of the backyard king, yeah
The backyard king, yeah
The backyard king, yeah
