-The audio portion of ''016'' contains an extremeley rare Weezer acoustic rendition of "[[Buddy Holly]]", recorded at St. Louis radio station KPNT.  The disc's artwork does not specify the date of the recording, but considering its 1999 release date, and the fact that Weezer was not active at the time, it is likely from 1996 or 1997.

+The compilation ironically also features a track by spoof lounge singer [[Richard Cheese]], who covered "Buddy Holly" on one of his albums, and a video by [[Cold]], a band that recorded a song  [[Rivers Cuomo]] had co-written with frontman Scooter Ward.
