Michael Stanton

Michael Stanton is a Texan born musician and was the guitarist for Avant Garde.
==Biography==
===Meeting Rivers Cuomo===
Michael Stanton first met Rivers Cuomo (then going by Peter Kitts) at a five week Berklee Music program in Boston. Stanton said he wanted to approach Cuomo and his quickly formed gang of rockers, but was unsure quite how he could. One day, Stanton was playing "Master of Puppets" on guitar. Cuomo heard it, knocked on his door and the two "hit it off really well". Said Stanton, "We did everything together. It was a really fun time. We'd record wicked instrumental guitar songs on a 4-track. One was called 'Plankton Frito,' and it had a mean sounding Phrygian harmonized riff".
The two also spent hours writing out elaborate counterpoint dual guitar solos and recording them. Other than playing guitar, Cuomo, Stanton, and some of their friends would go out for pizza at night or take the subway around. They also saw Rocky Horror Picture Show. Together, the two honed their sense of relative pitch. Stanton has stated that his favorite memory of his teenage years was spending time with Cuomo in Boston. After the music program, Cuomo convinced Stanton to move to Connecticut to join his band Avant Garde.
===Avant Garde===
Stanton stayed at Cuomo's house, where he'd hang out with him and his brother Leaves. He got a job with Cuomo working at a Domino's Pizza for six hours a day. The two would also play lots of Nintendo and stay up talking about girls. Stanton felt that Cuomo's mom, Beverly Shoenberger, made him feel right at home. Said Stanton, "She's a really nice lady, and my mom and her had in common a kind of new age mentality. His stepdad was nice too, although mostly absent. Rivers didn't talk about his real dad much". When he learned Cuomo's parents were getting a divorce, he relocated to (also of Avant Garde) house so that he was not a burden.
When Avant Garde moved to LA, Stanton and Cuomo drove out together, stopping for a few days at Stanton's house in Texas on the way. The other band members came out separately a few days later.

==Lyrics==
Keep it on, keep it on, your hat's okay
I never ride with strangers, until today
Is this your first time to Michigan?
How's it look now through your window?
Can't fight anymore with your mother
Dog's tail ticking like a clock
Inside your head
You wish that it was dead
Dress down for incognito, head's up must show conviction
This dream will never end, lie down here in Michigan
Take it off, take it off, it's all too new for you
Here I am in the middle of the road
Laughing like a fool without my shoes
I don't need no one new
Lie to me, shame on you
Hook a ride, down and done
One more day, I'm gonna burn in the sun
Piece of cake smile, I'm turning green
Keep close my only vision, cynical and mean
Is this your first time to Michigan? 
Keep your eyes peeled for a monster
Slipping by like a greasy chain
Each day pouring through a hole
Inside your head
You wish that it would end
Each day a new bug stings me, reach out and try to bring me
To a place where I could live, but I'm fucked here in Michigan
It all comes down to you, when I breathe, when I move
Here I am in the middle of the road
Laughing like a fool without my shoes
I don't need no one new
Lie to me, shame on you
Hook a ride, down and done
One more day, I'm gonna burn in the sun
Is this your first time to Michigan?
How's it look now through your window?
Can't fight anymore with your mother
Dog's tail tickin' like a clock
Inside your head, you wish that it was dead
You wish that it was dead
I don't need no one new
Lie to me, shame on you
Hook a ride, down and done
One more day, I'm gonna burn in the sun

Midnight at the Oasis

"Midnight at the Oasis" is a song recorded by That Dog.
==Overview==
"Midnight at the Oasis" is a non-album song exclusive to the 1995 compilation Spirit of '73: Rock for Choice. It is a cover of the hit by Maria Muldaur.
==Lyrics==
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik
I know your Daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him
Jump at his beck and call
But you won't need no harem, honey
When I'm by your side
And you won't need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
'Til the evenin' ends
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces
And traces of romance in our heads
Oh, come on...

Minneapolis

"Minneapolis" is the sixth track on That Dog's third album, Retreat from the Sun.
==Overview==
"Minneapolis" references Jabberjaw, a mid-90s rock club/coffee house. That Dog appeared on one of two benefit compilations supporting the venue. The song also references the indie rock band Low, who are from Minnesota.
==Lyrics==
I was at the Jabberjaw 
The cutest boy I ever saw
He was standing behind me
He was such a dream
He kept looking right my way
H want to see him everyday
Randy told me where he lives
In Minneapolis
Hung around 'til holding time 
I want to make him mine all mine
I told my friends I wanted to leave
And they embarrassed me
I took my keys out for my car
Walked down the street not very far
He came running after me
He saw me at the entry
Minneapolis
He said "I heard you asked 'bout me"
And I responded "yes" quietly
He said "i'm leaving on Wednesday
Come see me when Low plays"
So I went to see him again
He should be my new best friend
Running so romantically
Down the street for me
So we said we'd write or call
'Cause I'll be touring in the fall
He said he wanted me to move
But that just won't do
Minneapolis

Mirror Image

"Mirror Image" is the sixth track from OK Human.
===Appearances===
*OK Human (2021)
==Overview==
"Mirror Image" utilizes a melody similar to that of the demo "Expatriates in Paris", originally written in consideration for the what would eventually become the 2014 album Everything Will Be Alright in the End, although it's unknown whether this similarity is a coincidence. The song ends with a voice note recorded by Cuomo during the songwriting process. Cuomo said of this addition:
==Audio==
<youtube>cnt8iw_-nP4</youtube>
==Lyrics==
She is my mirror image
Showing me who I am
Until the day that we shatter
She helps me understand
She is my mirror image
Showing me who I am
Until the day that we shatter
I will know where I stand
Heaven can't save this man
Heaven can't help this man
Heaven turns his back on this man
Heaven shuts the door on this man

I’m missing
Missing the way that you stroke your hair
Missing the rage of you when you swear
I miss you, yeah
I’m missing and wishing you were here by me
I thought I’d
Have much more fun being on my own
Not too fun spending Christmas alone
Checking my phone
I’m missing and wishing you were here by me
It took too long to see that I was wrong
You had every right to leave and move on
Did those love notes you wrote mean anything at all?
I read them so much that it drained my eyeballs
Is there hope for us?
Do you remember that funeral you attended?
Had the epiphany how short life is
Will you please forgive? 
Whoa
I’m missing
Missing the sound of your midwest voice
Now I’m bound to make the right choice
Silence the noise
I’m missing
I’m missing
I’m missing and wishing you were here

Mistake Maker

"Mistake Maker" is a demo by The Relationship.
==Overview==
"Mistake Maker" was written by Brian Bell and, possibly, Nate Shaw. Shaw provides lead vocals on the song. A demo of the song was released on The Relationship's Myspace page in the mid-to-late 2000s, but has never seen official release.
==Lyrics==
It's New Years once again
Time to make another resolution
You'll make a famous mess
And never offer any solution
When you're around it hurts so bad
You like to leave 'em sad,
Always the taker
You're a piece of work
The king of hurt
Mistake-maker
Life is full of risk
But you'd take 'em even if it wasn't
You screwed up big this time
No one's around to hear you say "I'm sorry"
Ignored the golden rule
You slept through school
You're loser cool
Always the taker
You're a piece of work
The king of hurt
Mistake-maker
Mistake-maker
No one knows why you do what you do
Don't blame yourself
Couldn't change even if you knew
The people that know you love you
You've been leaning on that a while
Come to think of it, it's been a long time
Since your name's made anybody smile
I've known some real scary clowns
In this circus town
And if you want the crown, I won't forsake ya'
You're a piece of work
The king of hurt
Mistake-maker
Mistake-maker
Hail, king of hurt
You're a piece of work
The king of hurt
Mistake-maker

Mister Rivers' Neighborhood

Mister Rivers' Neighborhood (MRN for short, formerly Riverchat, briefly known as Chillchat and Together, sometimes known as Mister Rivers' Discord) is a server operated by Rivers Cuomo on the instant messaging social platform . Previously, it was an online chat room application programmed by Cuomo.
==Riverchat==
The chat room was initially created as a project for an online web programming class (Harvard's CS50W course, via the online course provider edX), and hosted on his personal website, beginning in July of 2020. Cuomo has used the application to communicate with fans, sometimes in the form of cryptic non-sequiturs, and sometimes sharing previously-unknown Weezer-related trivia. Cuomo initially integrated a bot account to occasionally post replies on his behalf. 
Riverchat was discontinued in September of 2021.
==Discord==
In September of 2021, Cuomo launched a server (simply titled "Rivers Cuomo") on the chat platform Discord. Cuomo's own chat client was discontinued shortly thereafter, before being briefly reinstated on October 14.

It's all the same things everyday
You took my heart, threw it away
You build me up then push me down
Then leave me crying on the ground
Now the damage has been done
But you left me breathing
I'm broken down and beaten
Numb
Void of any feelings
I've been mistreated once again
You say you love me everyday
That's all I need to make me stay
With these words, I'm paralyzed
Wasted crippled, dumb and blind
Now the damage has been done
But you left me breathing
I'm broken down and beaten
Numb
Void of any feelings
I've been mistreated once again
No,no,no,no
Now the damage has been done
But you left me breathing
I'm broken down and beaten
Numb
Void of any feelings
I've been mistreated once again
No,no,no,no

Mondo Sonoro: Interview with Brian Bell - March 3, 2021

The following interview has been translated from Spanish.
Original article: https://www.mondosonoro.com/entrevistas/weezer-entrevista/
-----
"WE’RE A BAND THAT POLARIZES PEOPLE"
After listening to OK Human (Crush/Atlantic, 2021) and speaking a bit about it, via Zoom, with guitarist Brian Bell, two things are very clear: that bands with the status and baggage of Weezer just release albums with the simple excuse of playing live shows, and that their labels and management offices are extremely conservative, always refusing to change or deviate from the original script.
Luckily, something as unforeseeable as a pandemic changed the plans of these north americans, prioritizing a theoretically secondary job, an ornate pop (chamber, even), supervised by the loyal Jake Sinclair (who’s been working with them as a producer since 2016) and with the participation of arranger Rob Mathes (the man in charge of the strings in Springsteen’s High Hopes - 2014 - and A Celebration of Ending Things - 2020 - by Biffy Clyro). An organic record, in which keyboards and acoustic guitars thrive instead of the electrical ones, that, against all odds, makes for one of their best records of the last few years.
==Interview==
"I WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT HAILING THIS RECORD AS THE NEW OK COMPUTER (1997) OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT."
"MOST OF THE TIMES A BAND EMPLOYS STRINGS ON A RECORD, IT’S AFTER EVERYTHING IS RECORDED. IN MY EXPERIENCE IT’S LIKE PUTTING MAKEUP OR DOING A LIFTING TO THE SONGS."
