So, I asked them to do the recording assignment which was a live to 2 track version of "Jamie". I still have the shitty copy of the original 8-track demo that was dubbed on the back of a Grant Lee Buffalo sampler cassette somewhere in my closet. I hooked them up with another classmate of mine named Sharon when she didn't have a band lined up at the last minute. I tried to get her That Dog (who was the other band I really wanted to record) but they couldn't get it together in time so I figured the Weezer guys would be down with coming back for a second time. | So, I asked them to do the recording assignment which was a live to 2 track version of "Jamie".

Anyways, I guess the guys were happy with the LMU version of "Jamie", but i never entirely was completely satisfied. I mean, only so much you can do with a live take and only a few hours! Rivers seemed to be really completely amazed when i told him I only got a B+ on the project. "But it's gonna be on a CD, man....!" I remember Matt being really adamant that they would do the recording project with me, but that they had to own the master. Smart boys they were, and I agreed to it, I just really wanted to be credited with the recording.|[[Dale Johnson]]|engineer of LMU sessions<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063254if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist4.html Weezer Recording History, Page 4] | Anyways, I guess the guys were happy with the LMU version of "Jamie", but i never entirely was completely satisfied.
