Featured article: Weezer-Rules mailing list

Weezer-Rules was a public mailing list centered around Weezer discussion maintained by Joel Abbott, RR Hornback, and Jay Baker. The list's first message was sent on August 29, 1995, and it remained active until around 2000. At its peak in 1998, it had roughly 1,000 subscribers. Weezer-Rules was frequented by Mykel and Carli Allan, heads of the Weezer Fan Club; Daniel Brummel and Jose Galvez of Ozma; and Anuj Behal and Dan Gdowski of weezer.net.

The mailing list was featured in the Fall 1997 issue of Weezine alongside other contemporary fan websites.

Daily digests sent to members were archived on the list's homepage by Abbott, making the list's message history accessible to nonsubscribers. Many of these archived digests were, in turn, archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, making them accessible in the present day. These archives are some of the earliest online Weezer discussion which remains publicly available.

Featured song: "Please Pick Up the Phone"

"Please Pick Up the Phone" is a demo by Rivers Cuomo. The song was later reworked into the Weezer B-side "Mykel and Carli".

"Please Pick Up the Phone" was recorded in February of 1993. A photo of Cuomo's handwritten lyrics were posted to riverscuomo.com in the early 2000s. The demo was first heard by fans on November 7, 2020, when it was leaked online through the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com. The song was made available to all on November 22, when it was included as part of the digital compilation Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years.

"King" was my favorite demo on Rivers' "Deliverance at Hand" demos. It wasn't getting voted into the pool, so I called him and said "This song is the shit, everybody is crazy!" He said, "Oh yeah? you sing it then," I said "Oh yeah? Okay, I will!"
