Today in Weezer History: 1/5/2001 - 9th day of work on The Green Album / Pat gets "Jaywalked". Today in 2001 work continued on The Green Album. First, "Starlight" got a surprise re-do from the ground up, then Mikey resumed doing his bass parts, nailing down "Starlight" and 3 other songs. Meanwhile, that morning, Pat was hanging at his hotel room (at the Oakwood Apartments near Burbank, where many a musician and actor have been temporarily housed while working in L.A.) when he got a knock on the door. It was Jay Leno, going door to door for his "Jaywalking" Tonight Show segment, looking for people to dress up and sing as Elvis, while a pro Elvis impersonator tagged along and taught the people how to properly do Elvis. Pat was game and ended up being featured on the segment, which aired on Jan 9, 2001. Weezer.com immediately offered a proto-webisode of Pats part of the segment, filmed off a TV. Today that same clip is on youtube in that same tiny lo-fi resolution. Photo shows Rivers with Atom Willard's dog Moso (Atom was working as a tech/assistant for weezer at the time), and a still from the Leno clip.

Today in Weezer History: 1/6/2000 - On this day in 2000, the very first online "Karl's Corner" post was put up, on weezer.net (AKA RWA, AKA Rebel Weezer Alliance). (the post: "01/06/00 - greetings - This battlestation is now operational. Well, kind of.") Up until this point, @karlophone's contributions to spreading the word to the fans had been limited to his "karls corner" articles in the Weezines of the Weezer Fan Club, which Karl had kept going for 4 more issues since the tragic deaths of fanclub founders Mykel and Carli in 1997. But with the internet finally taking over after a 6 year slow rise, and a friendship between Karl and Anuj and Dan who were running the largest weezer fan website, weezer.net, it seemed to make a lot of sense for Karls "Corner" to become an ongoing news blog on weezer.com. Weezer.net had grown fast in '95 to become the place to be, with video clips ripped fom TV well before youtube existed, and exclusive band info direct from Mykel and Carli (and sometimes Karl) to Anuj and Dan. Of course the present day rise of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram made it ever easier to get news and images out to the peeps fast, but the foundation remains weezer.com, which went from ".net" to ".com" in early 2001 (after convincing some random guy who was sitting on the domain name to let it go). By that point weezer owned the site, and by 2002 Anuj and Dan bowed out as grown up life took over. 
The online history of weezer fandom is a deep subject and will be covered in a future article and/or book, but it dates back to 1994 on the old EFNET servers on IRC, where fans would link up and chat/fileshare online live (over phone line modems). The channel creator and moderator, Anuj, later went on to start weezer.net in late '94. There were also the more primitive BBS bulletin boards, and the alt.music.weezer newsgroup which arose in the mid 90s (the first mention of weezer on Usenet was a 2/19/94 mention in a list of upcoming shows in L.A. on alt.music.alternative). Meanwhile Mykel and Carli had an email list of the people in the fan club and would send out mass emails to alert people of important news. 
Pictured here are some early website images: The 'fallen AT-AT' of the original RWA splashpage, the later RWA splashpage and homepages, the original Karl's Corner banner, and the photo that the banner was made from, shot in 1999 (by Steve, an original contributor to RWA) at a Special Goodness show in Minneapolis' First Avenue club, as Karl counted the ducats.

Today in Weezer History: 1/7/2001 - On this day in 2001, recording the Green Album entered Day 11. "...Today was a long, tiring "tying up loose ends" day, before tomorrow's moving down the hall into a different, smaller studio room. The guys worked very hard all day, diligently getting a ton of minor "fixes" done, as well as trying several different approaches to fleshing out the acoustic track "Always" (including some stabs at using a Farfisa organ). Today also marked the finale of Mikey's bass guitar parts, and a slew of tedious but critical editing work..." -Karl, from Karls Corner on weezer.com

Today in Weezer History: 1/8/2001 - On this day in 2001, it was day 12 of recording the Green Album. "...Today we moved into "studio 3", down the hall from the big room we were in previously. This room also has had a ton of killer albums made in it, including "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys, so we are hoping the magic rubs off... Today was guitar day #1, where the basic rhythm guitars on no less than 12 songs were laid down in one marathon session, punctuated only with brief breaks for water or a quick bite to eat. The 10 hour session was mostly done without air conditioning (to keep the room temperature consistent, so the guitars didn't go out of tune), so the recording room became a virtual sauna..." -Karl, writing on weezer.com. In addition, today was the day Pat's appearance on The Tonight Show's "Jaywalking" aired. (see 1/5 for the filming of it).

"...today Rivers spent some time polishing up his basic guitar tracks, and then turned the room over to Brian, who added more rhythm guitar tracks on about 8 of the songs over the course of the day. The manic pace and hard work continues, and the songs are starting to sound fuller and fuller..." -Karl, from weezer.com. Today's photo shows the Studio B room as it was in 1966 when the Beach Boys were there, and an attempted recreation of the scene by weezer. Much of the decor in the studio had been changed over the years but the same spot was located for vocal harmony.

Today in Weezer History: 1/10/2001 - On this day in 2001, it was day 14 of recording the Green Album. "...today Brian continued working very hard on his rhythm guitar parts, nearly completing all of them in a marathon session. Then he took a break and Rivers went in to re-do some of his own previously recorded guitar with a better sound that was discovered during the course of the day's work. Then some more edits were worked on..." Todays photo shows Brian hard at work, under the watchful ear of Ric Ocasek. Brian is using one of Ric's several original late 50's Gibson Les Paul Jr's. This one sounded amazing but at this time had an ugly grey repaint finish, as an undercoat to a planned fresh (though non vintage unfortunately) new paint job.

Today in Weezer History: 1/11/1997 - "On this day in 1997, Weezer played the Metropol in Pittsburgh, PA, on the January leg of the Pinkerton Tour, with Nerf Herder opening. The January leg started on Jan 9 and would conclude on Jan 24th, when Rivers was scheduled to return to Harvard. At that point, aside from some recording work during Rivers' Spring Break, the band wouldnt be back together again till May, when Rivers' semester was over and they started touring with No Doubt. Like too many shows between '94 and '97, there are no known photos, but the original setlist (made with the intention of keeping the band on its toes) that I wrote out survives." -karl (weezer.com) "...i sat outside the building and listened to soundcheck. i know for sure that they ran through "devotion" once. after that i went into some comic book store to get warm. the show was quite rockin'. i remember standing in front of rivers the whole time in awe of what he was doing. they played everything off of pinkerton, everything on blue except for "holiday" and "oid." the crowd shouted for Jamie the whole time but we didn't get it...bah. at one point during the show rivers went up to the mic and sang "suddenly our shortcomings..." and then backed off. i was certain we were going to get "devotion" live but i was fooled." - Justin Hoenke "...I noticed one key thing. Matt Sharp was rawkin the house. He was insane and had some of the greatest stage presence I've ever seen. I didn't take my camera in the show for fear of it getting confiscated. Dumbest idea ever. That was the biggest mistake I've ever made." - Matt Rust #nerfherder #pittsburgh #weezer #pinkerton

First Brian finished up all his rhythm guitar parts, and then, after numerous experiments with different vocal microphones, and much strategizing and debate over how to go about doing it, Rivers finally got to cut loose on some vocal tracks, doing multiple takes on about 7 songs. At the end of the night, all were in agreement that Rivers's marathon singing session had nailed down the main vocal parts for those songs, and that everyone was ready to move on to the rest of them tomorrow..." -Karl, from weezer.com

Today in Weezer History: 1/13/1997 - On this day in 1997, Weezer played in Richmond, VA at the Flood Zone in support of Pinkerton, with Nerf Herder opening. Near the end of this show, a very strange incident occurred. In the words of weezer.com's Karl: "The Tale Of RHINO-LAD. A giant sized fan rushed the stage as the band were playing "Surf Wax America" in the encore. He climbed up on the stage on Brian's side (stage right) and made a diagonal bee line across the stage for the amps on the opposite side. He looked young - but he was 6' tall and built like a football player, clearly both "big boned", strong, AND rather overweight. He just sort of went mad, I guess the weezer music drove him to go crazy. So anyway I try to grab him to push him back off stage, but he was like a dump truck, I could not steer him at all - I grabbed on to him and he literally dragged me across the entire stage like I weighed nothing! He then proceeded to crash into Matt's and Rivers' (huge, heavy and tall) amps, totally knocking them over like they were made of paper, and of course stopping the show. He was all flailing about and howling, still pushing stuff over even as I lay on top of him trying to stop him! We had security drag him off to a back room, as we were PISSED. Matt's rare and valuable Orange amp was totally broken, not to mention the disruption of the show and other damage... So we tried to get things functioning but theres too much damage, so the song is cut short, fortunately it was the final song of the encore anyway. Back to deal with the crazed fan. SO it turns out, this kid is all of 12 years old!!! He's in the room backstage all blubbering and crying with a squeaky little kids voice, saying he was sorry over and over again, just wailing! What the hell? We didn’t have the heart to file a charge or anything, we just sent him home. Bizarre? Yes. We named him Rhino-Lad." -karl

Today in Weezer History: 1/14/2001 - On this day in 2001, it was day 18 of recording the Green Album. "...today's work involved either Rivers singing, or listening back to Rivers singing, or choosing which "takes" of Rivers' singing were best. Rivers sang most of the remaining lead vocal parts today, but reported that he wasn't satisfied with several of them and would have to try again tomorrow. Meanwhile tomfoolery erupted in the lounge, as it often does...Also I worked on several experimental song edits on my computer, so Rivers could hear a different version of a song without having to have the engineers edit the master tapes. I found this highly time consuming and headache inducing, but pretty fun!" - Karl, writing on weezer.com.

cancelled gig
...a show was planned for this date at art-rock haunt Jabberjaw [immortalized in an early That Dog. lyric], but for some reason it never went down. Jabberjaw was a funky art gallery sorta place on Pico in L.A., and they did have periodic troubles with the authorities regarding the legality of having loud music shows there. In its day, Jabberjaw was a huge indie scene hangout, hosting many key early shows by Beck, the Geraldine Fibbers and mucho more.

"...recording day 20...Today Ric and the engineers continued the time-consuming process of "comping" vocal tracks, to compare and choose the best attempts from the various takes. Also, there was a last minute decision made to change the key of "O Girlfriend", which required everyone (except Pat) to re-do their parts in a different key. Then Rivers re-sang it too...good as new..." Today's photo shows the lounge at Cello Studios, with Rivers looking at the 2001 KROQ calendar (which featured weezer in it), and Mikey and Brian.

"...recording day 21...today the weezer recordings advanced like a conquering army, temporarily taking over a second recording studio nearby. While Ric and the engineers spent the day finishing the "comping" of the lead vocals at the main studio, The band trekked a few blocks away to another venerable L.A. recording studio (this one having seen the likes of the Doors and Van Halen over the years), to do backing vocals. Also Rivers tried to re-do the Wurlitzer part on the new (still untitled song), but all 3 Wurlitzer keyboards we tried to rent had various problems that scrapped the attempt after several frustrating hours. Anyway over half of the albums back-up vocal parts were done, and to blow off steam in between takes, the in-house enclosed basketball area was utilized to good effect..." -karl, from weezer.com) Photo shows Mikey and Rivers during their vocal work. #greenalbum #ricocasek #album1album3album9 #mikeywelsh #losangeles

show #37 - acoustic show at Ghengis Cohen club/restaurant, Hollywood
...this was the 37th weezer show, and the 6th of weezer's early acoustic sets. Ghengis Cohen was and is still located on Fairfax in West Hollywood. Its basically a restaurant with a tiny stage off in a corner, where acoustic acts serenade the patrons while they eat.
The one detail that has survived about this show was that for percussion purposes, Pat developed and used an ad hoc instrument, an empty Arrowhead water jug.
setlist unknown.
There are no known flyers and no photos from this show.

Today in Weezer History: 1/19/1997 - On this day in 1997, Weezer playes the Termont Music Hall in Charlotte, NC, in support of Pinkerton, with Nerf Herder opening. One fan's account: "...We showed up at Tremont Music Hall 4 hours early. It was cold, and none of us thought it wise to wear a jacket. As we were standing there, a white van pulled up, and we saw the unmistakable face of Rivers Cuomo pop through the door, and skuttle into the venue. The other members cruised in, and Brian stopped to say, "what's up." A couple of minutes later we were treated to a kick ass version of "In the Garage," during soundcheck. The line was starting to grow behind us (we were the only ones that got to hear the sound check!) We got inside, and began to thaw when the band Nerf Herder took the stage. Because we were lucky enough to catch a show during the Pinkerton tour, we heard "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly," "Pink Triangle," "Tired of Sex," and "El Scorcho." The show rocked hard, and it was awesome to see =W= in a small venue like Tremont (less than 800 capacity, I think.) After the show, I snuck off and passed my ticket stub to Brian, who passed it to Rivers. Rivers signed the stub, and I went back to my friends to gloat. Little did I know, Rivers was following me out of the dressing room. He sat down on a couch (random, I know...but the place has a lounge....) My friend Corey sat down next to Rivers. Rivers looked really nervous, and I felt bad for harassing him. In the end, we all got our t- shirts, and ticket stubs signed..." Photo shows Brian hanging out with fans Leslie and Ashleigh Ellsworth (original fanclub member #0629) outside after the gig.
