<blockquote>''The way I write now, I have a folder of about 1,400 demos. And I look at it through a program called Mp3tag. I’ll be writing a song, and I’ll know: “All right, I need a bridge that’s at 132 bpm, in the Key of A-flat major, and the bridge needs to start on the two chord, and the melody needs to be on the fourth degree of the scale.” I press “Go,” and Mp3tag returns the ten matching demos I have.''</blockquote> | <blockquote>''The way I write now, I have a folder of about 1,400 demos.

In | In an August 2020 [[Riverpedia]] entry, Cuomo [[Riverpedia_archive_-_08/21/2020#Alone_IV|confirmed]] that he had no plans to continue the ''Alone'' series, instead preferring to keep recordings to himself in order to reappropriate them for future Weezer songs. Cuomo apparently reversed this decision shortly thereafter, however, launching a [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]] in October of that year, selling hundreds of demos to individual users on [[November 11]], and selling a compilation titled ''[[Alone IV: The EWBAITE Years]]'' on [[November 20]]. | ||
