-'''Summer Songs of 2000''' (also known as '''SS2K''') are a group of songs that were demoed in [[2000]] and performed live by Weezer on their comeback summer tour that year.
+'''The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo'''  is a spreadsheet created and maintained by Rivers Cuomo that lists the names of demos he deems of high quality. On July 24, 2008, it was posted on riverscuomo.com, with certain songs designated as songs that either appeared on Alone, Buddyhead's Gimme Skelter compilation, or the then unreleased Alone II. It released the previously unknown track list of Alone II. An updated version of the spreadsheet was again posted on riverscuomo.com temporarily on October 30, 2010.  Many of the tracks listed still remain unreleased such as ''The Bottle of Wine Song'', although it was heard during Karl's DJ set on [[The Weezer Cruise]].
-After a flurry of solo demos in late 1999 and early 2000, Cuomo reconvened Weezer in order to lay down some recordings and prepare for an upcoming tour.  The band, (then consisting of Cuomo, [[Mikey Welsh]], [[Pat Wilson]], and [[Brian Bell]]), were made an offer to join that year's Vans Warped Tour, a popular annual punk and alt rock festival.  This exposure led to a series of dates on their own as well.  Weezer's setlists during the tour typically consisted of classics from ''[[The Blue Album]]'', ''[[Pinkerton]]'', a couple of B-sides, and a rotation of as many as four of fourteen new songs.  Many fans assumed that these songs would be recorded for a third Weezer album, and shortly thereafter, when referencing the songs, labeled them the "Summer Songs of 2000" (commonly abbreviated as SS2K).
