On [[October 15]], [[2007]] Rivers posted a blog on his official blog stating that he had permission from Geffen to release a collection of demos spanning 1992-2007. On [[November 22]], Rivers updated his blog, stating "I want to share with everyone the excitement I felt when I went back and heard the original master tapes of these demos. In most cases, they sounded much better than the mp3s I've been listening to for years--clearer, warmer, deeper. I highly recommend that listeners buy the CD rather than the digital version so that they can enjoy the highest quality listening experience." On [[December 18]], Rivers Cuomo released the collection of his home demos entitled ''[[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]''. The collection also included five demos for songs intended for or included on ''Songs From the Black Hole'': "[[Longtime Sunshine]]", "Blast Off!", "Who You Callin' Bitch?", "[[Dude, We're Finally Landing]]", and "Superfriend." This was the first time fans got to hear "Who You Callin' Bitch?", "Dude, We're Finally Landing", and a high-quality version of "Superfriend." In the ''Alone'' [[Alone liner notes|booklet]], Rivers explained some of the plot points of the musical and, after having reviewed his journal notes of ''SFTBH'', revealed that the name of the "good girl" was Laurel (previously mistakenly believed by fans to be "[[Lisa]]".
