-'''''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''''' (or '''''SFTBH''''') is an unreleased, unfinished [[Weezer]] album.  This space themed rock opera/musical was originally envisioned as the follow-up album to ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]'', but the concept was discarded during the course of songwriting/demoing. The project evolved into the album ''[[Pinkerton]]''.  Several of the ''SFTBH'' songs ended up on ''Pinkerton'' or as single b-sides, some of which were slightly altered lyrically or sonically. ''SFTBH'' was, in the words of songwriter [[Rivers Cuomo]], "supposed to be a whole album of songs transed together," meaning a seamless flow from one song to the next.
+'''The following questions are only selections of the full interview. See the full thing <u>''[[Scott Shriner Fan Interview 2008|here]]</u>!'''''
+{{Interviewer| Kim, NJ |Out of The Blue Album, Pinkerton, and The Green Album - which one album do you wish you could've been a member of the band for? Why?}}
+{{Scott|Wow, that's a tough one. I wouldn’t change one thing- including adding myself on any of those records. }}
+{{Interviewer|Jason in Los Angeles, California & Eric from Roanoke Virginia|How were you selected to become a part of Weezer? did you audition or what? did you have to show what you could do musically? Also, what song did you play? Basically what was the audition process like? Thank you for your time!}}
+{{Scott|Hey, you guys. Thanks for the question. I was purely a fill in at first.  The band was getting ready to demo songs for Maladroit, so they didn’t want me to learn any old songs.. Rivers showed me the songs on the spot. I guess learning them on the fly helped prove myself, but I think it was fate.  I just played how I play. I  came in as myself. It worked. Be yourself. }}{{Interviewer| lordofthemanor, albumsix.com|Of the many tracks that weren't chosen to be on Make Believe, which were your favorites? Are there any you wish made the album?}}
+{{Scott|I really liked a lot of the songs that didn’t make the record. One of my favorite was called “I'm Losing My Mind” we also did a cover that I can’t mention but I have the master safe and sound.}}
+{{Interviewer| Marc from Illinois |I share much of your love for hard rocking and your work on the Maladroit album is more than amazing, however I've always wondered what you consider Weezer's best song before you joined the band?}}
+{{Scott|Hey Marc thanks man.  "Say It Ain't So" has always been my fav. It’s the song that made me love Weezer. But when I heard Hash Pipe with the chugging guitars, I thought it was the coolest band in the world. You know what I mean!}}
-The characters of the story were to be [[Jonas]] (voiced by Cuomo), [[Laurel]] (voiced by [[Rachel Haden]] of [[that dog.]]), [[Maria]] (voiced by [[Joan Wasser]] of the Dambuilders), Wuan (voiced by [[Brian Bell]]), Dondo (voiced by [[Matt Sharp]]), and a robot called M1 (voiced by [[Karl Koch]] using a vocoder.). At the time, Wasser was unaware of Cuomo's intention of having her play a role on the album.
-Cuomo explained the plot in an interview for the [[November 15]], [[2007]] issue of [[Rolling Stone]]: "There's this crew - three guys and two girls and a mechanoid - that are on this mission in space to rescue somebody, or something. The whole thing was really an analogy for taking off, going out on the road and up the charts with a rock band, which is what was happening to me at the time I was writing this and feeling like I was lost in space."

-To this day, any and all unreleased ''SFTBH'' material remains a collective holy grail for many Weezer fans.  Over the years several petitions have been started with the aim of making the band release the lost ''SFTBH'' demos much in the same way the [[SS2K]] songs were released; the most recent petition was launched by Weezer fans on [[November 27]], 2005, with the goal of reaching one thousand signatures. It reached its goal on March 1st, 2006.
