rivers co-wrote Cold Dark World Scott, that's probably where the better lyrics came from, though Rivers wrote all of King and Scott sings that, so maybe no, hehe. Though I Knew is a "remake" of a demo by Brian's band after Space Twins, The Relationship. i'll upload the original.

go hear to watch live performances of Automatic, Thought I Knew, Pork And Beans, a "music video" for TGMTEL and some other short clips.

You forgot Falling For You and Why Bother? (at least the solo).

and island in the sun ain't that bad. it's island in the sun (live) i have a problem with.

why bother is a blast fuck you guys

I Thought I Knew by The Relationship

sorry for the m4a, i didn't make/rip this and this is all i've been able to track down.

every song on pinkerton is perfect.

the island in the sun (live) thing is a running internet joke IITS (live) has been released on many, many, many weezer singles/imports/rereleases/actual albums.

forget my mtv link above someone youtubed that shit. here's the important bits:

Pork And Beans (Hootenany Version)


Thought I Knew


Automatic (this one's my favorite performance and presentation-wise)


The Greatest Man That Ever Lived


King (why even bother...i hate this song)

That Hootenany Version of P + B is AWESOME.

i'm so baffled that people don't hate island in the sun

seriously

what the fuck

lets just agree to disagree on that, and unite in our hatred of beverly hills =).

"el scorcho" is incredibly boring.

no...

it just seemed very repetitive.

this is gonna sound crazy, but...
 

i think the four deluxe edition tracks might be the best block of songs on the album. i finally heard them and i really dig them.

the itunes acoustic tracks sound like they were recorded with a hidden mic in karls hat or something. i cant hear shit to even tell if they are good songs or not.

as for all the covers that are released so far, they are pretty much ass. i only really like the weight and meri kuri. the others are too synthy and boring for me.

i forsee a solid 80 minute version compiled out of the best all these in my future.
dan

why you gonna go and do me like that?

here's a better rip of The Weight and Are Friends Electric? as well as Oddfellows Local 151 and Pork And Beans (Naked Version).

wow we have all of them now except love my way. thanks thedeuce!

and not a dime spent! fuck you weezer!

actually i did buy the deluxe edition because it was $11.99 at bestbuy =).

It's pretty much the song that sealed the deal for me in terms of thinking of Weezer as two different bands. The band that made two awesome albums in the 1990s and the one that stinks.

Some dude I know hates that song and I buy him green 7" singles from that album just to annoy him. He's got three so far. I also do this because even though he hates Weezer (any and all Weezer) I know he is too anal to throw them away. Ha ha.

shit, i'll take them

lol


i bought the red vinyl from insound that came with the red pork and beans seven inch. and know i hear they're putting the deluxe out on vinyl. motherfuckers!

an upload for no particular reason. Weezer doing I Don't Know How To Love Her from Jesus Christ Superstar. reminds me of Devotion/Waiting On You.

Any chance you might be able to re-upload all the bonus tracks behind one link in case the previous ones expire/expired?

I'm still diggin' the album. Thought I Knew is a bit crap though, still.

the song Pork and Beans is fucking crap.

agreed

holy shit this pisses me off. this song is so much fucking fun.

and yeah island in the sun was different than anything weezer had done but it was still fine, lets not get overdramatic and act like it's some sort of death nail. the green album was a step down but its not what made me ignore weezer. the two albums that came afterward is what did the trick. island is the sun is still a good song.

took another listen just for you :love:

i agree, it is a very fun song - sounds very pavement like, which i love. just the guitar work is kinda meh. but it's better than i remember.

Anyone notice the lyrical mistake in Heart Songs??

No it's not. Listen to the 'hootenany' version. It's very charming.

Do you mean the part where it seems like he confuses Debbie Gibson and Tiffany? I don't know if that was really a mistake. Each line of the song in that part was referring to a single artist/song, so I think he was meaning to make reference to both of them.

ill settle for this

i think i liked pork and beans only because it reminded me of an inferior el scorcho.

I fucking hate Pork and Beans.

oh.

it was an actual mistake, but once rivers realized it he decided to keep the line as it was. i think this was revealed in a spin article.
