The '''[[Weezer Recording Chronology]] (WRC)''' is an attempt by [[Weezerpedia]] to create a successor to the [[Recording History]], a detailed list of every demo, bootleg, and studio recording by the band [[Weezer]] and any directly associated bands, written by [[Karl Koch]] from the years of [[2000]] to [[2011]]. Pages are separated by years. 

This page details the years [[1998]] and [[1999]]. It contains demos and other projects recorded during Weezer's first hiatus.

=== "American Girls", January 30–early February 1998 ===
[[Image:Meet the Deedles Soundtrack.jpg|thumb|right]]
{{Main|American Girls}}
This version of "[[American Girls]]" was recorded across multiple sessions in January and likely early February 1998 at Sunset Sound Factory, with [[Matt Sharp]] producing. It includes instrumentation from [[Yuval Gabay]] and [[Sebastian Steinburg]] of Soul Coughing, guitar by [[Greg Brown]] of Cake, and additional vocals from {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} childhood friends [[Justin Fisher]] and [[Adam Orth]] as well as [[Geffen Records|Geffen]] A&R representative [[Todd Sullivan]]. It is, to date, the final recording to feature the Weezer lineup of [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Brian Bell]] (backing vocals), [[Pat Wilson]] (drums), and Sharp.

In a [[alt.music.weezer]] post, [[Pat Finn]] noted a session took place on [[January 30]], 1998 with Cuomo and Sharp, and that Pat Wilson joined for a session on [[January 31]], likely to record his drum part.<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.weezer/c/T_2iRowS9F8/m/ajA2M3bSmu0J</ref>

It would appear on ''[[Meet the Deedles: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]]'' in March 1998, and is the only officially released recording by [[Homie]] to date.

{{Karlification box|This was recorded in Boston at a "pro" studio, but I do not know where. This "American Girls" is quite different than the version that was played at the 'solo' shows. The older version of the song was a very up-tempo rocking song. When the "deedles" version was released (on march 24, 1998), many were surprised to find that it was now a much slower song, smoothed out on the R-n-B / country tip with a pop feel appeal to it.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062701if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist10.html Weezer Recording History, Page 10]}}

After the Fort Apache mixing, Sharp returned to California to finish the album. While recording for the album would end that summer, [[Maverick Records]] were constantly asking Sharp to change things that he was refusing to change, as well as the constant re-mixing and modifying of songs by Sharp, both delaying the album several times before its release on [[April 13]], [[1999]].

=== Weezer demos, late February 1998 ===
By this time, after several trips to London, UK and back to work on [[Seven More Minutes|the upcoming second Rentals album]] throughout [[1996]] and [[1997]], Sharp had fully left Weezer. Tryouts for new bass players would commence throughout the next few months, including former [[60 Wrong Sausages]] bass player [[Pat Finn]]. When it came time to record new demos at Fox Force Five in Hollywood, however, the band was left without a bass player.

{{Karlification box|contrary to conventional wisdom on the matter, it seems these 2 songs were given serious consideration for formal "weezer-ness" . They were practiced for a little while and recorded at "j.j.'s home studio" ........"j.j." being owner of a certain Hollywood rehersal space that the band often used at the time.

note that at this time the band had no bass player, as Matt had left the band late in 1997, and Try-outs for a new bass player would soon commence, ending with the selection of Mikey in early summer 1998....|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062701if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist10.html Weezer Recording History, Page 10]}}

=== Weezer demos with Mikey, May-November 1998 ===
After tryouts for several bass players, [[Mikey Welsh]] (formerly of [[Lovely]]) was chosen to be Weezer's new bass player late spring, moving into a townhouse with Wilson and Cuomo in Hollywood. Rehearsals started at Cole Rehearsals then moved to TK Productions & Rehearsal Studios in the summer. These are also closely tied to the later TK(X) Cuomo demos; a few of them are likely actually Weezer demos.

=== TK(X) demos, June-December 1998 ===
These were a set of demos recorded at TK Productions & Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles. Some of these recordings are suspected to be with Weezer, while others are clearly solo Cuomo demos. There were two groups of these recordings: TK and TKX. The distinction between the two is unclear.

=== "Velouria" session, August 1998 ===
In late August 1998, the band went into Rich Mouser's Mouse House Studio to record a cover of [[the Pixies]] "[[Velouria]]" for the tribute album ''[[Where Is My Mind?: A Tribute to the Pixies|Where Is My Mind?]]''. They also recorded several original songs, but apparently these weren't considered good enough for release at the time due to the songs being unfinished. Mixes from the sessions are listed below:

{{Karlification box|This recording session yielded "[[Velouria]]", for the Pixies tribute CD ''[[Where Is My Mind? A Tribute To The Pixies|Where Is My Mind?]]'', which was released in early [[1999]]. Several songs were also recorded, but apparently the "non-Velourias" didn't come out too good. This is apparently due to the songs being somewhat unfinished at the time of recording (thus really being demos.) mixes from the session:
#"[[Everyone]]"
#"[[Trampoline]]" ("sped up")
#Trampoline ("normal")
#"[[Disco Queen]]"
#"[[Velouria]]" (released on ''Where Is My Mind?'' [[Mikey Welsh|Mikey's]] 1st released track with [[weezer]]) 

mystery tracks:<br>
These titles appear on a cassette from this time but it is unclear if they are misnamed or changed titles from the above 5 songs - or totally seperate tracks from another session around that time.

=== Brian song demos, Late Summer 1998 ===
During rehearsals in 1998, Wilson and Bell were given opportunities to bring songs in for consideration. When it was suggested to record the songs Bell brought in as a demo, Cuomo decided he didn't want to use them for Weezer. The other three then decided to record the songs as a demo on their own.

{{Karlification box|[[Brian]] had 4 songs that everyone enjoyed playing at rehersal. When it was suggested that they could record these as a demo, [[Rivers]] decided that he didn't want to do them for [[weezer]]. So [[Pat]] and [[Mikey]] played on it and it became a kind of [[Space Twins]] demo that sounds like weezer playing the songs. Details on this should come when the summer/fall 1998 tapes are examined at last.

=== Weezer demos, September 1998 ===
These demos date around the time Wilson left rehearsals and went home to Portland after being unsatisfied with the way rehearsals were going. Welsh brought in [[Todd Phillips]] who had previous played alongside [[Juliana Hatfield]] and Welsh. He stayed with the band until rehearsals ended in early [[1999]].

the above 2 songs fall in right about the time [[Pat Wilson]] packed up and went back to Portland, unsatisfied with how rehearsals were going. [[Mikeys]] friend [[Todd Phillips]] (also an alumnus of {{PN|Juliana Hatfield}} band) filled in on drums from then until early 1999 (when rehearsals were finally put on hold), and also played in the 2 Goat Punishment shows (see below).|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062701if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist10.html Weezer Recording History, Page 10]}}

=== The Garage concert, November 1998===
{{main|Weezer concert: 11/??/1998}}
[[Weezer]] performed under the name [[Goat Punishment]] at The Garage during November of [[1998]]. Goat Punishment was used as a pseudonym to perform secret shows, for this show the band performed [[Nirvana]] covers. The reason why this happened is unclear but it may be connected to the work Cuomo was doing on Nirvana in the ''[[The Encyclopedia o' Pop]]'' around the same time. The show was recorded by the band onto cassette and MP3's from this tape were later released on [[weezer.net]] in November [[2000]] and April [[2001]]

{{Karlification box|after a few months, the increasingly sporadic rehersals took a turn, when [[Goat Punishment]] was spontaneously formed, in order to play a whole show of early [[Nirvana]] material. It is still unclear as to why this happened, outside of perhaps a primal need to break up the monotony and get inspired. As far as I know, no rehearsals were taped...

===show #1, Hollywood, CA===
set consisted of several songs from the album ''Bleach'', plus a track or two from ''Incesticide'' and ''Nevermind''

Band's own cassette bootleg: 

*"[[Mr. Moustache]]"
*"[[Aneurysm]]"
*"[[Breed]]"
*"[[Dive]]"
*"[[Swap Meet]]"
*"[[Blew]]"

The Word from Dale Johnson (the student engineer of the "[[Jamie]]" session at LMU) "FYI, I was also one of the promoters of the club that Goat Punishment did their first "secret" show at in 1998. I did a club with my partner's Frank Rodriguez and Vaginal Davis called Club Sucker, which took place every Sunday night at the Garage from 1995 thru 2000. Our pals OtherStarPeople were playing and I guess the Goat Punishment thing happened via Todd Phillips and [[Mikey Welsh]] being old Boston buds and ex-members of the [[Juliana Hatfield]] band. Anyways, the show was great....I'm glad someone recorded it for posterity and you have mp3's available on the website.
