	By Christmas 1990, I had ~~wheedles~~ my mother, finally, into co-signing for a credit card and bought a Tascam 688 home recording unit and began a steady stream of demo-making that has continued in various forms, on various machines, and in various locations around the world, until the present time and place, October 2007, in my home in Los Angeles, where I make demos on the Dell laptop computer on which I am now writing.

	When I make a record with Weezer, recording is a public process. I've got the band there, of course, sometimes a producer, always an engineer, one or two assistant engineers, pizza delivery guys, etc. But my demo recordings were made, for the most part, in solitude, with me trying to figure out where to plug things in, how to turn things on, how to get semi-decent sounds out of things, how to not blow things up, and with me being totally unafraid of what anyone would think because no one was there. I was freestyling it. Therefore, some very inspired moments occured. However, for this reason I also let things slide that I would be less likely to let slide on a Weezer record, botched lyrics, out of tune vocals, sloppy drumming. I wasn't thinking that any of this would be on a record some day, listened to by millions–okay, maybe thousands...or hundreds–of people. But I've always loved these recordings for what they are, not a polished studio album, but the creative sounds someone makes when they think they're alone.
