-'''that dog.''' is a Los Angeles-based rock band that originally formed in [[1991]], disbanded in [[1997]], and reunited in [[2011]]. They released their fourth album in late 2019.
+''Interview by Claire Caraska''<br>
+[[The Special Goodness]], featuring [[Weezer]] drummer [[Pat Wilson]] (who now sings and plays guitar), current Weezer bassist, [[Mikey Welsh]], and drummer, [[Lee Loretta]], embarked on their [[The Special Goodness tour diary - Spring 2000|second tour]] this past March. Before their show on Sunday, [[March 12]], at the Che Café in San Diego, I had the pleasure of interviewing the boys from the comforts of their brightly painted blue-green 1982 GMC van, complete with shag-carpeted floors and padded vinyl walls and ceiling.

+{{Interviewer|MR|Can you remember the first album you ever bought?}}
+{{Pat|Yes. (Laughs). It was "This One's For You" by Barry Manilow. I was like four years old. And his face was the whole album cover. Just a huge face. Can you imagine that?}}
+{{Interviewer|MR|That's kind of scary.}}
+{{Pat|That sucks (laughs).}}
+{{Interviewer|MR|Do you remember the first concert you ever went to?}}

-The lineup of that dog. (the lower case letters and period always inclusive) consisted of lyricist [[Anna Waronker]] (daughter of producer and one-time Warner Bros. Records head Lenny Waronker) on lead vocals and guitar, [[Rachel Haden]] on bass guitar and vocals, and her sister [[Petra Haden]] on violin and vocals (both a part of triplet sisters born to jazz great Charlie Haden).  Friends since high school, the ladies were joined by drummer [[Tony Maxwell]] in 1992.  Their punky power-pop songs were full of hooks and drenched with many layered vocal harmonies.

-In June of 2011, that dog. announced via their new Facebook page that they would be reuniting for a pair of August shows at the legendary Los Angeles club the Troubadour.  Unsure of what to expect, the band was pleasantly surprised that the two shows sold out, and were taken aback by the warm response they received. The band continued performing and began work on their fourth album in 2015, hoping for a release by the end of the year. As of late 2016, work on a reunion album was still in progress, and a crowdfunding campaign to aid in some of the more expensive aspects of recording (such as orhestral arrangements) was put forward. The band performed the album ''Retreat From The Sun'' in its entirety at a show in Los Angeles on [[April 8]]th, [[2017]], to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary.
-On [[August 21]], [[2019]], the band announced the release of their fourth album, titled ''[[Old LP]]''. The album was released on [[October 4]], [[2019]].
