The '''Weezer Recording Chronology (WRC)''' is an attempt by [[Weezerpedia]] to create a successor to the [[Recording History]], a detailed list of every demo, bootleg, and studio recording by the band [[Weezer]] and any directly associated bands, written by [[Karl Koch]] from the years of [[2000]] to [[2011]]. Pages are separated by years.

Pages are separated by years.


While the WRC is not a citable source by itself, various points in the WRC contain "Karlification Boxes", that contain a direct quote from [[Karl Koch]] himself. Some of these quotes may come from the original Recording History (some updated by Koch to be up to date and accurate), or may be statements given by Koch to Weezerpedia to help aid the project. An example of a Karlification Box is seen below.
==How to read==


{{Karlification box|This was the first "pro" band that Rivers was in, and is mentioned here due to the fact that the 3 demo tapes (1987, 8, and 9) may be the earliest "non-amateur" recording featuring Rivers. (There are several very amateur recordings from the junior-high and High School years leading up to Avant Garde, but they are not listed here) Rivers's contribution to AG was primarily guitar playing and soloing. The whole band is credited as the songwriter, but I believe Rivers mostly came up with the guitar parts. The band also included both Kevin Ridel (later of Ridel High and AM Radio) on vocals, Justin Fisher (later of Shufflepuck, Nerf Herder, and Psoma) on bass, Bryn Mutch on "percussion" (drums, really), and Mike Stanton (later of Microsoft) sharing guitar duties with Rivers. this demo was printed on black shelled cassettes with plain looking light blue label stickers on one side. Probably less than 50 copies printed.|}}
Generally, the WRC consists of several headings, dating years or a certain time of year. Within those headings are sub-headings that give a brief explanation of what was recorded (in most cases, the title of the recording, and the time-frame of when it was recorded). An example is shown below:
 
=== Example, April 28, 2025 ===
In the lede of each subheading, small notes are given on the sessions or material recorded. Additionally, a [[Weezerpedia:Known recordings|known recordings table]] details whatever we know about the material in a small, easy to read table.
