{{Karlification box|Shortly after the first (and only) 60 Wrong Sausages show, the band was no more. Pat Finn was going through some weird times, and Rivers was losing interest in the band, finding more excitement in his own new song material. About this time, Rivers and Pat Wilson expressed a mutual interest in moving toward the type of songs that bands like the Pixies and Nirvana were doing. While there was no definate plan, they embarked on a songwriting spree, hoping to write 50 new songs between them, and from this new roster move forward with an unnamed new band. While no one knew it at the time, this new band would not include Pat Finn, but rather Matt Sharp (who still lived in Northern California at this point). It was a definate stylistic move away from the more rythmic jazz/jam/riff oriented 60 Wrong Sausages, and consequently the different writing style of Pat Finn.

They never quite made it to 50. However, the old Fuzz song roster was accepted as sufficient material, bolstering the list by at least 5-6 songs. Bush and 60WS songs were deemed too different for the new plan.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063146if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist2.html Weezer Recording History, Page 2]}}
