If you were into mid-'90s alternative rock, odds are you would recognize [[Matt Sharp]]. His goofy expressions were forever immortalized in the ''Happy Days''-themed [[Weezer]] video for their hit song "[[Buddy Holly]]," and he later re-emerged as a stoic weirdo in keyboard-inspired [[emo]] act [[The Rentals]].<br> | If you were into mid-'90s alternative rock, odds are you would recognize [[Matt Sharp]].

While both bands were highly influential in their own right, Sharp has been flying under the radar in recent years. He quietly released [[Matt Sharp (album)|a solo album]] just over a year ago, contributed Moog on the [[Tegan And Sara]] album ''[[So Jealous]]'', and frequently collaborates with the band [[Goldenboy]]. Now he's back with an all-new Rentals lineup, who have a warm-up tour under their belt and [[Last Little Life|an album]] in the works. In the midst of this chaos, Sharp sat down with ''ChartAttack'' to share the latest gossip on his new band, and a few memories from back in the day. | While both bands were highly influential in their own right, Sharp has been flying under the radar in recent years.

{{Matt|It's about Paulina Porizkova, who is Ric Ocasek's wife, who used to come down to Electric Ladyland studios when we were recording ''The Blue Album''. And she would read our palms, and she was pregnant and she would just hang out. And we were like, "Wow, a pregnant supermodel is reading our palms." And then she would complain about how only bands like Warrant and all these '80s heavy metal bands are the only people who would write songs about her. And so she was really bummed out that nobody cool was writing songs about her now, so I wrote that song for her while we were at Electric Lady as an attempt to get her out of the '80s hair metal rut she was stuck in.}} | {{Matt|It's about Paulina Porizkova, who is Ric Ocasek's wife, who used to come down to Electric Ladyland studios when we were recording ''The Blue Album''.
