Rainbow Connection

"Rainbow Connection" is a song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher for the 1979 film The Muppet Movie. Weezer and Hayley Williams (of the Paramore) covered the song for the album Muppets: The Green Album.
==Overview==
Weezer was first reported to be recording a cover of "Rainbow Connection" in September of 2009 for a planned CD release titled Muppets Remastered (or Muppets Revisited, according to other outlets ). This CD release did not materialize the following year as planned, however. When asked about the status of the song in a 2010 interview with SPIN.com, Rivers Cuomo replied "I have no idea what happened to that, actually. We did it and turned it in but haven't heard a thing about it."
The album was finally released as Muppets: The Green Album on August 23, 2011, three months ahead of the release of the 2011 film The Muppets.

==Lyrics==
Why are there so many songs about rainbows 
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong; wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Rainn Wilson

Rainn Wilson is an actor best known for his role as Dwight Schrute on The Office.
==Weezer connection==
Rainn Wilson would meet with Rivers Cuomo on January 22, 2009, with the intention to interview him for his website Soul Pancake. Cuomo was recording songs for a Sirius AltNation takeover event, so Wilson jokingly suggested he play bongos on the song they're recording. Rivers was receptive to this idea, and let him play on the track, a cover of "One of Us" by Joan Osbourne.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wamaD7GK0oA clip from the session was released on Soul Pancake in March 2009.https://web.archive.org/web/20090312074249/http://www.soulpancake.com/view_post/204928/sneak-peak-rainn-vs-rivers.html
After this session he would interview Cuomo, released on April 24, 2009.https://web.archive.org/web/20090426052522/http://www.soulpancake.com/view_post/255889/the-rivers-cuomo-interview-weezer-frontman-dishes-on-meditation-kiss-and-bad-breath.html

==Overview==
The chorus for "Real Life Friend" was later used as the bridge to the 2015 demo "I Can't Find the Words".
==Lyrics==
This place is kinda funky
And I don't think I'll ever get used to it
We're surrounded by sycophants
Searching for a butt to kiss
Terminator people hunting
Money and celebrity 
Killing everything that isn't superficiality 
What I need is a real-life friend
Someone natural and authentic
Can we both just let our guards down?
Can I show you?
Would you be my real-life friend?
We'd connect, low tech, intimate
Holding hands, no sweat, but it's genuine
Now and then we can have arguments
But it ain't any threat to our partnership
Would you be my real-life friend?
Would you be my real-life
It's kind of embarrassing
That I met you in a place like this
I admit I was a player
And you probably were a groupie chick
Guess that we were sick of
All the battles that we fought and lost
'Cause now we wanna chuckle
When we think about the dreadful cost
What I need is a real-life friend
Someone natural and authentic
Can we both just let our guards down?
Can I show you?
Would you be my real-life friend?
We'd connect, low tech, intimate
Holding hands, no sweat, but it's genuine
Now and then we can have arguments
But it ain't any threat to our partnership
Would you be my real-life friend?
Would you be my real-life friend?
We Photoshop profile pics on social networks
Each pixel is perfect, but something inside hurts
We all want connection to someone who gets us
But we'll never get it until we are honest
What I need is a real-life friend
Someone natural and authentic
Can we both just let our guards down?
Can I show you?
Would you be my real-life friend?
We'd connect, low tech, intimate
Holding hands, no sweat, but it's genuine
Now and then we can have arguments
But it ain't any threat to our partnership
Would you be my real-life friend?
Would you be my real-life
Would you be my real-life friend?
Would you be my real-life

Realsound.jp interview with Scott & Rivers - September 9, 2016

スコット＆リバースが語る、J-POPの革新性と魅力「日本の音楽が僕を自由にしてくれた」
09/09/2016
[Original article] [Archived link]
　ウィーザーのリバース・クオモと、ALLiSTER／MONOEYES（the HIATUSの細美武士と一瀬正、ART-SCHOOLの戸高賢史らと組んだバンド）のスコット・マーフィーが、「J-POP」を奏でるために結成したスコット＆リバース ― 略して「スコリバ」による、およそ3年ぶりの新曲2曲が8月10日にデジタル配信された。「Doo Wop」は、キヨサク（MONGOL800）のオリエンタルかつパワフルな歌声をフィーチャーした、「これぞJ-POP」というべき疾走感溢れるギターサウンド。一方「FUN IN THE SUN」は、PES（RIP SLYME）によるチャーミングなラップが印象的なレゲエソング。どちらも来るべきニューアルバムへの期待が高まるクオリティである。
　そもそも2人はJ-POPのどんなところに惹かれ、自分たちでも演奏しようと思ったのだろう。我々日本人には気づかない、特別な魅力がどこかにあるのだろうか。去る8月24日、渋谷WWWにて3年ぶりのライブをおこなったスコリバの2人に、J-POPや新曲についてなど話を聞いた。なお、メンバーのたっての希望により、インタビューは全編日本語（通訳なし）でおこなっている。（黒田隆憲）

And, I, was hap, py
Give me some more, I said I want more
Show me commercials, show me what is pure
Turn on the sprinklers, make the paint go

Make children, make children in your store
Make children, then sell them to the poor
Make children, out of slavsa and leaves
Make children when you have a disease

Recess

Recess was a short-lived experimental band led by Petra Haden and Tom Grimley.
==Overview==
Haden and Grimley collaborated on many recordings in the early 90's. Grimley produced much of Haden's work as a member of That Dog, which Grimley was himself a kind of unofficial member of. Haden was a central participant in the community surrounding Poop Alley Studios, a recording studio that Grimley ran.
Recess was a bonafide project unto itself, however, given its own name and at least three appearances on released recordings. These a 7 inch self-titled record, a three-track EP released in 1994 entitled Don't Call Me on My Birthday, and a contribution to Grimley's Poop Alley Tapes compilation in 1995.
It is unknown, but appears unlikely, that the group ever performed live.

Recording History

thumb|right|225px|Screenshot of the original Recording History, 2000
Recording History is the name of an extensive chronological overview of demo and studio recordings made by Weezer and its band members, dating from the late 80s to 2005. It has been compiled over many years by Karl Koch.
==History==
Koch originally introduced the Recording History in 2000 on weezer.net, the predecessor to the band's official website. It was initially titled Weezer and it's "cousins": a recording history. The Recording History was then incorporated into the "info" section on weezer.com, where it was continually updated and expanded. The last update was made in 2011 to reflect new recordings discovered during the curation process for the deluxe edition reissue of Pinkerton, namely the song "Tragic Girl." A 2014 website update removed a forward-facing Recording History, meaning the archive was no longer widely available online. User:Donny transcribed the entire archive onto Weezerpedia in 2016, providing small formatting updates and editorial adjustments to Koch's work.
Like many of Koch's archival projects, the Recording History is an ongoing, incomplete effort. It chronicles Weezer members' musical projects through the Make Believe recording process. As of October 2023, Koch is considering plans to expand the archive alongside Weezerpedia editors.
===Editorial notes===
Koch provides the following editorial notes on Page 1 of the archive:

Red Roses

"Red Roses" is the second track on 1999 album Sound Mind. A demo of the song is present on Brummel's previous release: A Network to Take Care
===Appearances===
*Sound Mind
*A Network to Take Care
==Overview==
The song's lyrics were taken from and inspired by a poem written by Marc "Vorpal" Raaphorst, first published on the site Noun.org in 1998. Responding to a fan writeup of the song's lyrics in August 2022, Raaphorst wrote, "I actually wrote the lyrics to this song as a poem, and Daniel and I met through a mutual friend who ran a poetry site. He asked if he could use them in a song, and I said yes... he modified them slightly." Raaphort's comment https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858590411/?&specific_com=73016423819#comments
==Lyrics==
Why does it have to hurt so much
To live without your gentle touch
Why did I think that I’d be okay
When you got up and walked away
I can’t get your face out of my mind
I’m thinking of you all the time
In bed at night you’re in my sleep
Come morning alone, again I weep
When I’m awake, I see you crying
Without you here, I feel I’m dying
I tell myself I’m just a fool
My heart is the master, I am the tool
Drunk with love, baby, what can I do?
I treat you well, I’m right for you
But it’s too late, now you’re gone forever
Now we’ll never be together
When our vision crossed, your eyes met mine
I thought I’d forget you and be just fine
But the thought of you isn’t receding
And my heart just goes on bleeding
Why does love never work in my favor?
Maybe it would have, had I been braver
Maybe if I just approached and said, “Hello”
But I guess now I’ll never know
Now I’m stuck here
Cutting all my losses
While my mind
Sends you red roses
Sends you red roses
Sends you red roses
Sends you red roses
Yeah!

Reddit Q&A with Matt Sharp - April 24, 2020

Reddit Q&A with Matt Sharp - April 24, 2020[Original thread]
This is Matt Sharp of The Rentals. Welcome to our AMA. We have been promoting our upcoming new double-album Q36 since November, releasing a new single every two weeks, until we reshuffled things a bit, due to the COVID shutdown. But we got back on track with our latest single and video “Conspiracy.” Q36 is inspired by a number of sci-fi/space related subjects and people, from Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger to Elon Musk, and all the crazy theories out there from Nixon faking the moon landing to UFOs at Roswell. “Conspiracy” was inspired by the late Art Bell and his incredible late-night call-in show ‘Coast to Coast’, so this seemed like a perfect time to talk to all of you.
This is a list of links I have compiled to help get the dialog rolling:
