{{Alone liner notes|When Weezer signed to Geffen Records in June of 1993, I used my cash advance to buy myself a trumpet and a violin and the related instruction manuals. My goal was to gain proficiency on the main orchestral instruments so that I could be a "real" composer, rather than a pop songwriter. I began practicing. Two months later, however, Weezer left L.A. for Electric Lady Studios in New York, to record ''The Blue Album'', and I had to leave my new instruments behind. Because I was still excited about becoming a composer, I made sure to keep educating myself while I was in New York. I went to see two musicals, ''Cats'' and ''Les Miserables'', during the days while the engineer got the mixes together for me to comment on. | {{Alone liner notes|When Weezer signed to Geffen Records in June of 1993, I used my cash advance to buy myself a trumpet and a violin and the related instruction manuals.
