 ==Relationship with Weezer==
-that dog. shared the Los Angeles alt rock scene Weezer in their early nineties.  Already an established group, that dog. would often invite Weezer to open shows for them.  Rivers Cuomo once paid homage to that dog. by recording an as-yet unreleased cover, and Sharp recorded the band's song "[[She Looks At Me]]" as a Rentals demo.  Maxwell made a cameo appearance as a dancer in the "[[Buddy Holly]]" video.  Following Weezer's breakout success, Rachel Haden commented in a 1995 interview that they were opening for Weezer, while Weezer used to open for that dog.
+that dog. were part of the Los Angeles alternative rock scene alongside Weezer in their early nineties. Already an established group, that dog. would often invite Weezer to open shows for them.  Rivers Cuomo once wrote a song titled "[[Punk Rock Girl (Rivers Cuomo song)|Punk Rock Girl]]" as a tribute to the band, and [[Matt Sharp]] recorded a cover of the song "[[She Looks At Me]]". Maxwell made a cameo appearance as a dancer in the "[[Buddy Holly]]" video.  Following Weezer's breakout success, Rachel Haden commented in a 1995 interview that they were opening for Weezer, while Weezer used to open for that dog.
 Rachel Haden was meant to play the role of Laurel in Weezer's scrapped ''[[Songs From the Black Hole]]'' album, and was known to have rehearsed songs for it with the band.  Haden performed vocals on the final B-side version of "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams", a song intended for ''Songs From the Black Hole'', despite the project's collapse. Haden would again perform vocals for the song with Weezer for the song's live debut in 2011, as well as select performances thereafter. Petra Haden played violin on Weezer's 2003 cover of "[[Worry Rock]]", with her sister Tanya also playing cello on the track.
