The 2001 '''BBC Sessions''' were songs recorded for the Radio 1 show ''The Evening Session'', hosted by Steve Lamacq, on [[June 13]], [[2001]]. The session took place on Cuomo's birthday. As described in a [[Karl's Corner - 06/13/2001|Karl's Corner post from the day]]<ref>[[Karl's Corner - 06/13/2001]]</ref>, the session was "quite a battle" between the show's producers and Cuomo, as he was insistent on the band using the time for demoing new material:

<blockquote>''The band was asked to do 4 songs, including "[[Hash Pipe]]", "[[Island In the Sun]]", and a cover. However, the guys were so excited about having an opportunity to record, that they convinced BBC to let them do all new songs! And not only that, they worked extra fast and recorded 8 songs as opposed to the required 4!''<br>

Weezer recorded three songs for Seattle-area radio station 107.7 The End on [[November 14]], [[2001]].  The intention was for the station to play the recordings as exclusives, but when it became apparent that the songs weren't going to be aired, they were instead released on [[weezer.com]].  Initially, a full-length version of "Space Rock" was released, then replaced with a shorter edit.
