Over the course of writing the album, Rivers, who'd enrolled at Harvard in the fall of [[1995]], changed his focus from the space rock opera theme of ''SFTBH'' to the Madama Butterfly theme of ''Pinkerton''. ''Pinkerton'' was released on September 24, 1996 and included the songs "[[Tired of Sex]]", "[[Getchoo]]", "[[No Other One]]", and "[[Why Bother?]]". These four songs had been written prior to the conception of ''SFTBH'' but reshaped for ''SFTBH''. Rivers had unshaped them for inclusion on ''Pinkerton''. Further leftovers "Devotion", "Waiting on You", and "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" surfaced as b-sides to the ''Pinkerton'' singles [[El Scorcho]] and [[The Good Life]]. "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" is notable as it features Rachel Haden singing lead vocals. | Over the course of writing the album, Rivers, who'd enrolled at Harvard in the fall of [[1995]], changed his focus from the space rock opera theme of ''SFTBH'' to the Madama Butterfly theme of ''Pinkerton''.

Another demo, "[[You Won't Get With Me Tonight]]", was officially released on the 2003 compilation ''[[Buddyhead Presents: Gimme Skelter]]''. A very short clip of the band rehearsing "[[Superfriend]]" in Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, in January 1996, was released on the Weezer DVD [[Video Capture Device]] in 2004. | ||
Sheet music and lyrics for several unreleased Songs from the Black Hole tracks were made available by Rivers on his MySpace starting on April 30, 2006. Lyrics were posted for "Blast Off!", "[[Who You Callin' Bitch?]]", "[[Oh Jonas]]", "[[Please Remember]]", "[[Oh No, This Is Not For Me]]", "[[She's Had a Girl]]", and "[[Now I Finally See]]", while sheet music was posted for "She's Had a Girl", "Who You Callin' Bitch?" and "Oh Jonas". It remains to be seen whether this will continue for the rest of the ''SFTBH'' material. He also posted that the song "[[Lisa]]", long thought to be part of Track List 2 (see below) and the name of the second female character, was not actually part of ''SFTBH''. This left the character's name to be unknown (for the time being). Rivers could not recall the name, but referred to her as "the good girl." | Sheet music and lyrics for several unreleased Songs from the Black Hole tracks were made available by Rivers on his MySpace starting on April 30, 2006.
