| '''"wannabeezer"''' was the username used by [[Jake Sinclair]] on [[allthingsweezer.com]] forums in January of [[2016]]. Sinclair posted intermittently leading up to the release of ''[[The White Album]]'', which he produced, sharing updates and insights about the upcoming record. The username was an homage to the [[Weezer]] cover band that Sinclair was a part of in high school. His interactions with fans are part of [[Rivers Correspondence Board|somewhat lengthy history]] of [[Weezer]] band members interacting with fans through online message boards. Below is Sinclair's first post - see the full article for all of his correspondences with fans. | | '''Weezer Club''' (formerly '''Army Of Babies''') is the name of a [[Weezer]] fansite created in December 2018 in response to issues that forum users had with moderation on ''[[AllThingsWeezer]]''. |

| "hi ATW,
| | Created in December of [[2018]], the forum acted as a replacement for other popular forum ''[[AllThingsWeezer]]'' before becoming the main site many users used. Many users had problems with how the old site was handled and it resulted in a separate forum, owned and operated by boardies ''Seth'' and ''Ressie''. Almost immediately, the site had outgrown its predecessor and had become the premier Weezer forum. In September 2019, the website's name was changed to ''Weezer Club'' in hopes of making the website more accessible to other fans of the band. Two months later in December 2019, the website overwent a complete overhaul, with a new banner and various new features, such as the classic AJAX chat, known from the early days of ''AllThingsWeezer''. As of February 2020, the website now has over 500 individual users and over 200,000 messages posted. |

| i've been watching things unfold on these forums for a few months now. the confusion of [[Thank God for Girls|TigFag]], the delight of [[Do You Wanna Get High?|DYWGH]]. the incredible gifs! (i particularly loved "Rivers' face when he realizes we've hacked his dropbox and have all 235 songs he sent to [[Crush Music|Crush]]").

| | |
| as far as i know (and without giving too much away) [[Alex Goose]] will receive an additional production credit. we kept the organ part from his instrumental demo that Rivers used to write TGFG (lyrics/melodies are 100% "Cuomonly").
| |
| | |
| i'm definitely looking forward to seeing your reactions to the rest of the album, it leans more DYWGH than it does TGFG (although in context of the album, TGFG will make a lot more sense). believe it or not, [[L.A. Girlz]] will definitely be a forum favorite. i think it'll draw a lot of [[Suzanne]] comparisons (which was a favorite of mine during that era).

| |
| i imagine i'll be ripped to shreds on here because of my other recent production credits. just know that my taste is much more in line with yours than you'd think. Andrew McMahon and I actually bonded over the fact that we both had Weezer cover bands in high school (mine was called Wannabeezer)."
