-'''''Lifetaker and Runnersdialzero present HOMiE Vol. 1''''' is a fan-made cover album of songs performed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] during late [[1997]] and early [[1998]].  Many of these songs were styled after the [[Homie]] live shows.  The album, originally meant to be released on [[February 14|Weezer's birthday]], was released on [[February 20]], [[2009]] to the [[Albumsix]] forums. The album's cover art was designed by user Headcheese.  The album was mastered in Provo City, UT at Wonderdog Studios by Jack Mergist (The Lifetaker).
+'''''Hear You Me! A Tribute to Mykel and Carli''''' is a compilation album released in [[1998]] on Vast Records in tribute to [[Mykel and Carli Allan]], founders of the [[Weezer Fan Club]]. The Allan sisters had passed away in a car crash in July of the previous year.

-From the diary of Mergist:
+In the wake of the untimely passing of [[Mykel and Carli Allan]], a tribute/benefit concert was organized to help the Allan family with the high funeral costs.  The show featured friends of the Allan sisters [[that dog.]], [[Black Market Flowers]], and headlined by [[Weezer]].  The successful but somber event was held at the Palace Theater in Hollywood on [[August 15]], [[1997]].
-"A lot went in the the production of the album.  Ryan and I found as many versions of the songs that we could.  We listened for hours and hours pulling out instrumentation and lyrics the best we could.  We soon settled on which songs would be primarily recorded in his studio in Illinois and which would be recorded in mine."<br><br><br><br>

+The concert, in turn, inspired the album, which was conceived as both a further tribute and benefit for the Allan family.  The album contained mostly rare or unreleased tracks by bands that were friends or acquaintances of the sisters and/or [[Weezer]], or who just plain wanted to help out.
+From the album's liner notes:
+::<small>''Some time ago, when joking about the possibility of a Mykel and Carli compilation CD, Carli stated 'we used to have dreams of a Mykel and Carli tribute, [but] some dreams must be abandoned.'  Although tragic circumstances inspired this CD, those whose lives were touched by the Allan sisters have turned their dreams into reality.</small>
+::''<small>Mykel, Carli and Trysta... we will all miss you very much."''</small><br><br><br><br>
