Wanting to "disconnect and cut all ties to the music world" [http://www.mtv.com/news/1491398/matt-sharp-says-lp-with-rivers-cuomo-may-never-come-out/], Sharp moved to a small house at 4212 Old Hillsboro Road in the small town of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee. After nearly four years of no musical output, Sharp released a solo, acoustic EP in [[2003]] called ''[[Puckett's Versus the Country Boy]]'', named for Puckett's, the town's sole restaurant and grocery store. Sharp followed up the release with a [[Matt Sharp (album)|full-length self-titled album]] in [[2004]]. | Wanting to "disconnect and cut all ties to the music world" [http://www.mtv.com/news/1491398/matt-sharp-says-lp-with-rivers-cuomo-may-never-come-out/], Sharp moved to a small house at 4212 Old Hillsboro Road in the small town of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee.

In February of 2004, Sharp was joined by Weezer frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] at a show at California State University, Fullerton. The duo played two Weezer songs, "[[Say It Ain't So]]" and "[[Undone]]", and an old demo, "[[Mrs. Young]]". Sharp alluded to [[Matt Sharp / Rivers Cuomo album|a potential collaborative record]], and the two performed "one of the first ideas [they] started working on together", a song titled "[[Time Song]]". The project, however, was eventually abandoned. Said Sharp in a letter to fans the following August, "we went through 15 or 16 new song ideas, some good, some not so good, but i'm sure there were a few things in there we could have been proud of. unfortunately our own special brand of disfunctionality may keep us from giving this collabaration the proper attention anytime soon."
