Pinkslip: Difference between revisions

"Pinkslip" was released in [[1995]] on Boy's Life Records on CD, vinyl, and cassette. The vinyl version of the single was pressed on pink seven-inch vinyl, and included "[[17 Braids]]" as a b-side. The CD and cassette versions of the album included "[[17 Braids]]" as well as "[[I Love Christian Stone]]" as additional tracks. The cassette version of the album was released without any art, and contained a yellow Supersport 2000 logo sticker. The cassettes were given out exclusively to members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]].

In car culture, a "pink slip" is a nickname given to the certificate of title for a vehicle. In racing culture, "racing for pinks" (or pink slips) is a common phrase denoting one betting their own vehicle against another doing the same in a race. The person who wins the race gets to keep their pink slip (and therefore, their vehicle) and wins the losing opponent's pink slip (and therefore, the opponent's vehicle).

The artwork of the CD and vinyl versions contain multiple black and white pictures of [[Cherielynn Westrich]] and some children. According to Cherielynn Westrich in a [[2001]] Glorious Noise interview:

"The photos were just some snapshots of my friend Dakota and me. We were pretending the Bronco was a spaceship to the moon and his mom Shelley thought it was funny and took some pictures. When I saw them they made me laugh, so I made the cover art with them. Now people like to poke fun at me and my face."<ref>The Glorious Noise Interview with Cherielynn Westrich Jake Brown 09/25/2001 https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Glorious_Noise_interview_with_Cherielynn_Westrich_-_2001</ref>
