{{Interviewer|BH|How did the song "[[We Have a Technical]]" with Damon from Blur come about?}} | |||
{{Matt|That was a long time ago. While we were doing the [[World Domination Tour|Weezer shows in Europe]] for the first record, we used to open the shows with an instrumental Gary Newman[sic] song. And this guy who put the compilation together was at one of the shows and he asked me about it. He later became a fan of The Rentals and asked me if we'd do it. The Rentals couldn't do it because everyone was split up all over the place. So while I was in England, I called Damon to see if he would come down and do it with me. We're old friends from tour.}} | |||
