{{Alone liner notes|I called 1-800-2-LA-RIDE, the RTD info line, and figured out how to get downtown on the bus. For the amazing low price of a dollar I got on the Blue Bus right by my house and went all the way downtown (on the highway) and was dropped off in front of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. For five dollars I bought a student rush ticket and was seated in the center of the second row for the debut performance of the L.A. Philharmonic's new conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen. They played Mahler's Third symphony and my mind was blown. | {{Alone liner notes|I called 1-800-2-LA-RIDE, the RTD info line, and figured out how to get downtown on the bus.

I also resolved to incorporate the more complex arrangements and countermelodies of classical music in my rock songs. So I wrote this little vocal piece as an exercise. It's a rip-off of Smetana's ''Moldau'' but what can you do. | I also resolved to incorporate the more complex arrangements and countermelodies of classical music in my rock songs.

On this recording you can hear me snapping my fingers very gently in the background to keep all my vocal takes somewhat in line (that approach didn't work very well). Soon I would start using a click track on my demos.}} | On this recording you can hear me snapping my fingers very gently in the background to keep all my vocal takes somewhat in line (that approach didn't work very well).

"Ooh" is a vocal exercise composed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[1992]]. It was first heard by fans in [[2007]] with the release of the compilation album ''[[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]''. The song also opened the "music video" filmed by [[Karl Koch]] for the song "[[Blast Off!]]," released in [[2008]] to promote ''Alone''.<ref group="lower-alpha">Likely because of this music video appearance, "Ooh" sometimes appears in fan-created playlists of ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'', though the song has nothing to do with "[[Blast Off!]]" or ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''.</ref> | |||
