-Laura Jane Grace of Against Me has a co-writing credit for "Byzantine," having sent [[Rivers Cuomo]] lyrics ideas via text message. [https://ew.com/music/2019/02/27/rivers-cuomo-weezer-black-album-interview/ Said Cuomo], "She did most of the lyrics, and she sent them to me as text messages, and I turned it into a song." In an [https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8500614/weezer-rivers-cuomo-data-driven-approach-interview interview with Billboard], Cuomo also explained that song's "bridge is from a pre-Weezer band that (drummer [[Patrick Wilson]]) and I were in in [[1991]], called [[Fuzz]]. I searched for the key and the tempo and the basic vibe I was looking for, and it popped up. All of my little bits and pieces of music will find a home eventually."
+[[Matt Sharp]] wrote "California" and demoed it to 4-track as part of a collection of songs informally dubbed ''[[That's Incredible!]]'' during the fall of [[1993]], before the Rentals took shape as a band. The song was later properly demoed at [[Poop Alley Studios]] in the spring of [[1995]]. This demo did not appear on the Rentals [[Return of the Rentals|debut album]], but appeared on the compilation ''[[The Poop Alley Tapes]]'', released later that year. The song also appeared on the [[2001]] Rentals fan club-exclusive compilation ''[[Excellent Stocking Stuffer]]''. The song was later reworked, with entirely new lyrics, into "[[Barcelona]]" for the Rentals' sophomore album ''[[Seven More Minutes]]'' in [[1999]].
-The song was produced by [[Dave Sitek]], and features a wide array of lyrical references, including Neil Young, Tennessee Williams, and shoe designer Stuart Weitzman.
+[[Ozma]] covered the song for the [[2010]] Japanese tribute album ''[[Lost Out in the Machinery - Songs of the Rentals]]''.
