'''''Whats this I hear about Matt rejoining the band?'''''
Pure rumor. Matt is (well, check Dan's Rentals Page for the latest) fully involved with the Rentals, and has no plans to do otherwise at this time.
'''''I sent in (a S.A.S.E./application/etc) to the fanclub a while ago and have recieved nothing, not even the free lyrics. what happened?'''''
The fanclub, while still officially active and inclusive of those members enrolled as of last summer, is currently still unable to process new memberships. This situation has only gotten worse since it began in late 1998, so I have recently decided to make the call to suspend the clubs "new" activities, including getting new members, untill weezer itself is on the move again (i.e. a new album. )
I will in fact be fufilling the outstanding lyric requests shortly, and plan on keeping current with that. Also I will continue to be the "mailroom-boy", forwarding your letters to the individual band members, and passing on your letters to the band after checking them out for other requests, etc. The Portland, OR, address inside Pinkerton is still the valid address for all (non-Rentals) mail. The Hollywood Boulevard address inside the blue album is OUT OF DATE, and any letter sent there has no guarantee of getting processed at this time.
If you in fact sent a check to pay for a new membership (using an old joiner form), that $ will be returned to you shortly.
I do apologize for all the confusion with the fan club in recent times, and plan on it being fully revamped and operational at the time of weezers third album. At such time, any and all instructions on what is available and how to get it will be either listed in the CD itself, posted on the RWA, or both.
'''''Are Special Goodness CD's still available? I understand that there was a special tour edition of the 1998 Japanese release.'''''
No. Those special "homemade" tour CD's are sold out...... For now, the only way to ge this CD is to order the Japanese import (see below). Eventually, it should see a re-release as a domestic album, but not for some time.
'''''I am really having trouble tracking down the Special Goodness import. What are its catalog #'s and other info? (revised answer)
Thanks to Suzanne (~w~ #3278) we now know one reliable source. The company is called Sound City 2000, Inc. They are able to order the CD. On their order form, they just need the catalog number, price, and artist/album title. Here is some info you may need to fill out their online order form:
This CD is on Rock Records (Japan) Co., Ltd. and is catalog # RCCY-1025 ROCK/POPS.
Its "ISBN" (upc bar code) number is: 4 516192 120076.
It is distributed by Nippon Columbia.
Although it says on the CD that it was licensed by Geffen Records, Geffen has nothing to do with the CD getting to stores or any websites stockroom. Thats the responsibility of Nippon Columbia (Columbia Records of Japan)
The CD is listed on their site as $36.99 plus shipping. Thats a lot, but you can look at it like the price of 2 CD's by other artists- and the S.G. CD is easily as good as any 2 regular CD's!
''Update!! thanks to Mark F., we have learned that the Special Goodness import CD is available from towerrecords.com . They ship it out reasonably quick and it costs $23.99, which is about 10$ cheaper than previously available sources.''
