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]].

-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 receive a proper full-band studio release. In the narrative of the story, the song is from the point-of-view of the character [[Laurel]] (played by [[That Dog]] member [[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 was originally written, according to the [[Catalog O' Riffs]], in early October of [[2001]]. It is first known to have been recorded during the [[Cello Demos|sessions at Cello Studios]] in early November of that year, though it was not finished at that time. The song was later recorded at [[Glenn Sound Demos|Glenn Sound Studios]] on [[November 14]] for the radio station 107.7 The End, along with the songs "[[Slave]]" and "[[Space Rock]]". The songs were never aired, and the band subsequently released them as free MP3s on their [[weezer.com|official website]].
-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].
+The basis for the song's title has never been commented on, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_X-1 Cygnus X-1] is also the name of a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus discovered in 1964, and the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. It is also the title of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_X-1_(song_series) two-part song] by the band [[Rush]] from their 1977 album ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Kings A Farewell to Kings]''.
