This may be one of the saddest record story. Just after the Blue Album, Weezer planned to release an indie-space-opera-rock. The project is known as "Songs from the Black Hole". The songs are so good, this coulda/shoulda been one of the better LP of the 90's. Unfortunately the project has been abandoned for obscure reasons and the fucking good songs ended up as separate tracks on Pinkerton, B-Sides and on Rivers' solo demo album. But most of the material is still unreleased and the project seems to be completely buried.
But he good news is that Kyle K made a great job and put together all the available songs, including some fan covers of unrecorded songs, edited that to make this cool to listen to, and now you can ear this marvel. If yu're an indie rock fan and never heard this, this is gonna blow your head ! This will not change the world but this might well contribute to.
Finally, here are the Songs from the Black Hole :
1. Countdown

5. I Do

I'm listening to it right now and it's even better than I thougt. The "Why Bother ?" demo version kicks ass and the sound is really pretty good for a lost record !
Wow, this is great news, but sadly the link is no longer working. Do you still have the album and could put it on your blog? Cheers Nils
