-{{Featured song artwork|California-snow-cover.jpg|California Snow}} "'''California Snow'''" is a song by [[Weezer]]. Originally released on [[September 19]], [[2018]] as a single to accompany the film ''[[SPELL]]''. The song appears over the film's credits and in its trailer. The song appeared again in [[2019]] as the final track of ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)]]''.
+{{Featured song artwork|GoodLifeOzEpCover1996.jpg|I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams}} "'''I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams'''" is a ''[[Pinkerton]]''-era b-side by [[Weezer]]. It was originally released on the single/EP releases of "[[The Good Life]]," and later appeared as the fifteenth track on ''Pinkerton's'' [[Pinkerton#Deluxe_edition_track_listing|Deluxe Edition]]. On the song's handwritten lyric sheet, the song is titled simply "'''Love of my Dreams'''."
-[[Rivers Cuomo]] first alluded to the song's existence with a tweet on [[March 11]], [[2017]], in which he simply stated "California Snow verse was cool". On the [[March 24|24th]] of that month he tweeted again: "Got a producer for California Snow". Sometime around September of [[2018]], a cryptic billboard appeared on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles featuring Cuomo as the character Rivers Haskell from what would eventually be revealed to be the film ''[[SPELL]]'', which premiered later that month. The billboard (and accompanying fliers) list the character of Haskell as "qualified to prescribe CALIFORNIA SNOW".
+According to ''[[The Pinkerton Diaries]]'', "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" was originally written as a musical sketch titled "My Dream Love" by [[Rivers Cuomo]] on [[January 13]], [[1995]]. According to [[Recording History - Page 8|the Recording History]], the song was recorded (sans female vocals) during the first ''Pinkerton'' sessions in September of that year, with the final version being recorded in the Summer of [[1996]]. According to [[Karl Koch]], [[Rachel Haden]] came in one night at Sunset Sound Recorders and nailed "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" on her first take. The song is unique as the only song originally conceived for the ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' to be receive a full-band studio recording. In the narrative of the story, the song is from the point-of-view of the character [[Laurel]] (played by musician [[Rachel Haden]]), who sings about rejecting her shipmate, [[Jonas]] (Cuomo), despite being in love with him. The original demo featuring vocals by Cuomo [[riverscuomo.com demos|leaked online]] through Cuomo's [[riverscuomo.com|website]] in November of [[2020]], shortly before being sold as part of the demo compilation ''[[Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years]]'' on [[November 22]].
-The song received a music video in [[2019]]. The song was debuted live (albeit only partially) during the [[Weezer concert: 07/24/2021|first concert]] of the [[Hella Mega Tour]] on [[July 24]], [[2021]], with one line of the first verse being changed to "Covid can suck my dick" in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo would continue to use this lyric change throughout the tour.
+In a Facebook post in December of [[2016]], Haden remarked that she was not paid for her work on the song [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Rachelhadenmattrivers2016.jpg].
