[[Brian Bell]] and [[Rivers Cuomo]] sat for an '''interview with ''Guitar World'' magazine in May of [[2002]]'''. The interview has attained some infamy, as it documents Cuomo at his most antagonistic toward [[Weezer's]] die-hard fan community. The term "little bitches" has been worn as a kind of badge of pride among folks on Weezer message boards since the interview's publication.
'''''Lifetaker and Runnersdialzero present HOMiE Vol. 1''''' is a fan-made cover album of songs performed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] during late [[1997]] and early [[1998]].  Many of these songs were styled after the [[Homie]] live shows. The album, originally meant to be released on [[February 14|Weezer's birthday]], was released on [[February 20]], [[2009]] to the [[Albumsix]] forums. The album's cover art was designed by user Headcheese. The album was mastered in Provo City, UT at Wonderdog Studios by Jack Mergist (The Lifetaker). From the diary of Mergist:


{{Interviewer|GW|I think some of the fans expect you to be distraught 24/7}}
"A lot went in the the production of the album. Ryan and I found as many versions of the songs that we could. We listened for hours and hours pulling out instrumentation and lyrics the best we could. We soon settled on which songs would be primarily recorded in his studio in Illinois and which would be recorded in mine."
{{Rivers|Emotionally extreme. Yeah, I think most of them would be shocked if they met me, because I'm pretty bland}}

{{Interviewer|GW|Sometimes, when, you meet the fans, do you feel that they're disappointed because you're even-keeled?}}

{{Rivers|I never meet fans.}}
{{Interviewer|GW|You never meet them?}}
{{Rivers|Never. I like talking to them over the internet, but that's it.}}
{{Interviewer|GW|You guys don't do in-store record singing or after-show meet-and-greets?}}
{{Rivers|Hell no! Fans are annoying. They all want something.}}
{{Interviewer|GW|Whether it be asking you to sign something or expecting you to act a certain way...}}
{{Rivers|Yeah, or asking me to play a certain song. They're all little bitches, so I avoid them at all costs.}}
