The 2001 '''BBC Sessions''' were songs recorded for the Radio 1 show, ''The Evening Session'' hosted by Steve Lamacq, on [[June 13]], [[2001]]. Normally, bands recorded four tracks from their albums (typically the most recent), but [[Weezer]] instead taped all new material, and twice as many as required. Four songs were completed and aired on BBC radio, with the remaining four to be finished up in Los Angeles during a [[July 9]] session. "[[December]]" was later released as a free mp3 at the band's official site, and the four broadcast tracks were bootlegged and distributed among fans.   
The 2001 '''BBC Sessions''' were songs recorded for the Radio 1 show ''The Evening Session'', hosted by Steve Lamacq, on [[June 13]], [[2001]]. As described in a [[Karl's Corner - 06/13/2001|Karl's Corner post from the day]]<ref>[[Karl's Corner - 06/13/2001]]</ref>, the session was "quite a battle" between the show's producers and Cuomo, as he was insistent on the band using the time for demoing new material:
<blockquote>''The band was asked to do 4 songs, including "[[Hash Pipe]]", "[[Island In the Sun]]", and a cover. However, the guys were so excited about having an opportunity to record, that they convinced BBC to let them do all new songs! And not only that, they worked extra fast and recorded 8 songs as opposed to the required 4!''<br>

Four of these eight songs were completed and aired on BBC radio, with the remaining four finished the following month during a separate recording session in Los Angeles. The recording of "[[December]]" that resulted was later released as a free mp3 at the band's official site, and the four broadcast tracks were bootlegged and distributed among fans.
