Keep Fishin': Difference between revisions

The song was originally demoed during the DC Demos and BBC sessions, as well as played live at many shows, in the summer of 2001.

After being properly recorded for Maladroit, Rivers felt the recording was lacking in some way.  When the band decided to release the song as the album's second single, he took it as a perfect opportunity to partially re-record/remix the track, embellishing it significantly.  This new version, completed in the Spring of 2002, is the so-called 'radio version' featured on the various single releases and music video.

Apparently, Rivers still wasn't completely satisfied with how the song turned out.  Lyrics to the Album 5 demo [[Mo' Beats]] reveal, "I got mo' beats than y'all/Keep Fishin' still seems small".

The [[Franklin Mint]] version of the song is an all-keyboards instrumental take created by Pat Wilson; Franklin Mint being the code name for his electronic musical meanderings.  It was also his oft-used message board name at the time.  A clip of this version was released by Karl at the official site, but the US CD single remains the only place to (legally) acquire the full recording.

The US CD single is to date the only ''retail'' weezer CD single officially released in the United States.  It was released in selected areas as a marketing experiment by the record company.
