Weezer's hiatus, the period between the end of the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tour in August of 1997, and the [[Summer Songs | Weezer's hiatus, the period between the end of the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tour in August of 1997, and the [[Summer Songs of 2000]], was not quite as inactive as the word implies. In fact, the band made quite a few recordings, and even played two live shows under the name [[Goat Punishment]]. The vast majority of the activity was in 1998, beginning with the recording of "[[American Girls]]" for the ''[[Meet The Deedles soundtrack]]''. While technically not a Weezer recording, all four then-members of the band participated, so it is included here. They also recorded their cover of [[The Pixies]]' "[[Velouria]]" for the 1999 compilation ''[[Where Is My Mind? A Tribute To The Pixies]]''. | ||

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 other 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:'' | ||

''Brian had four songs that everyone enjoyed playing at rehearsal. 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.'' | ''Brian had four songs that everyone enjoyed playing at rehearsal.
