Featured quote: Karl Koch on Weezer's efforts to get signed to a record label, March 17, 2023.

"Matt and Rivers had a combo of being very desperate and sure that we would only score a crappy deal, and also kind of gambling that one offer could lead to more if the cards were played extremely well. And that is what happened. Slash's (label) initial paltry offer, got other labels checking it out. Relativity had a slightly better but still awful offer. Then like 8 good labels listened, contemplated their orbs, and passed! Oops (meanwhile by pushing for the other labels to check it out, we were blowing off/pissing off the only labels who were willing to do anything). But then the tape that was sitting around on Tom Zutaut's desk at geffen somehow made it into Todd Sullivan's hands. And what seemed like "we blew it, should have gone with Relativity", turned into "god damn, the big leagues"
