-{{Featured song artwork|Weezer Maladroit.jpg|American Gigolo}} "'''American Gigolo'''" is the opening track from ''[[Maladroit]]''.
+{{Featured song artwork|Vanweezer cover.png|I've Thrown It All Away}} "'''I've Thrown It All Away'''" is an upcoming song from ''[[Van Weezer]]''. The track was originally written in [[1993]] by [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Patrick Wilson]], and [[Jason Cropper]].
-The song was first written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] around February of [[2001]], and recorded by Weezer at [[DC Demos|Monster Island Studios]] on [[May 27]], 2001. These original recordings portrayed the song in more of a funky vibe. Many fans were later surprised to hear the song evolve into more of a heavy metal riffer as the ''Maladroit'' sessions unfolded. Early versions of the song contain lyrics that greatly resemble that of "[[Photograph]]" ("If you want it / You can have it..."), though it is unknown if this is a deliberate allusion. According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_13#5.2F27.2F01:_DC_Demos|Recording History]], the song shares its chorus with the unreleased song "[[I Can't Tell You]]", written around the same time and also demoed at Monster Island Studios.
+According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_4#Late_Winter.2FSpring_1993:_Various_8_Track_recordings_by_Rivers.2C_and_Pat.|Recording History]], "I've Thrown It All Away" was originally conceived by Wilson, who recorded down versions of the song with only drums and bass to 4-track, with an additional version thereafter recorded using a Yamaha workstation. Cuomo recorded a demo of the song in February of [[1993]], later including it in the demo cassette tape ''[[Monterey Jack]]''.
-"American Gigolo" was performed live for the first time on [[June 8]], [[2001]] in Toronto, Ontario, as well as several additional shows that month on the [[Euro Freak Out Tour]]. The song was performed sporadically in [[2002]] and has, to date, been played only three times following its official release on ''[[Maladroit]]''.
+On [[April 14]], [[2020]], Cuomo hosted an ''[[List_of_Rivers_Cuomo_video_streams#Island_in_the_Zoom|Island in the Zoom]]'' stream over the video conferencing platform Zoom in which Jason Cropper appeared as a guest. Cuomo mentioned during this session that Cropper had co-written an old song (later confirmed to be "I've Thrown It All Away") that would be appearing on ''Van Weezer'' and sang the beginning of the first verse [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=202&v=fOkTmq3x87s]. On [[December 9]], [[2020]] Cuomo released the [[1993]] demo of the song (albeit with a truncated ending) on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com|his personal website]], as part of the compilation ''[[Patrick & Rivers]]''.
