"Your Room" | The [[Catalog O' Riffs]] lists the song as having been first written on [[July 21]], [[2001]], the same day as another demo from the era, "[[Don't Pick on Me]]". "Your Room" shares its single-verse structure with the song "[[The Dawn]]", apparently written a day earlier. | ||
"Your Room" is first known to have been demoed during the recording sessions at [[SnS Demos|Sage & Sound Studios]] in Hollywood from [[August 29]] through [[September 8]], 2001, the first sessions to feature bassist Scott Shriner. The song was demoed extensively over the next several months. The song was on the "[[The Black Album (2001)|Black album]]" sets of demos recorded at [[Steakhouse Demos|Steakhouse Studios]] and [[Cello Demos|Cello Studios]]. The song was played live by the band for the HBO show ''Reverb'' (wherein the band performed as "[[Goat Punishment]]") at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, though the performance of "Your Room" did not air. The song was performed at various shows in late 2001 during the [[Midget Tour|Hyper-Extended Midget Tour]]. [[Karl Koch]] uploaded multiple soundboard recordings of the song from that tour to [[Weezer.com]]. Several in-progress recordings of the song were also uploaded by the band during the [[Maladroit Demos|sessions for ''Maladroit''], but the song was, ultimately, not included on the album. | |||
