"Paperface" was first recorded by Rivers Cuomo as a solo demo in May of 1992, which would later see release on ''Alone II''. The song begins with Rivers singing, "Scratch track, momma, scratch track momma," possibly implying Cuomo meant to redo the vocal. | "Paperface" was first recorded by Rivers Cuomo as a solo demo in May of 1992, which would later see release on ''Alone II''.

When I first read Brian Wilson's autobiography, ''Wouldn't It Be Nice, in 1993, I strongly identified with the author's sense of self-doubt, creative struggles and passion for music. I particularly identified with his words, "My whole life, since I discovered music, has been about only one thing: about experiencing the sheer, pure, unencumbered, liberating happiness of the creative moment" (390). His words seemed to describe my life perfectly at the time. But now, fifteen years later, I see that my life has been about something else in addition to experiencing "the happiness of the creative moment." It's also been about learning how to achieve those creative moments. It's been about ''learning what to do''... and what not to do. | When I first read Brian Wilson's autobiography, ''Wouldn't It Be Nice, in 1993, I strongly identified with the author's sense of self-doubt, creative struggles and passion for music.
