Two more new songs from Weezer’s upcoming rarities collection Death To False Metal and the Pinkerton reissue. “Blowin’ My Stack” is from the former, “Getting Up And Leaving” is from the latter. The titles work nicely together though. Rivers Cuomo posted both tracks to Weezer.com‘s forum today. Nice guy. (Cool guy.) Listen:
Death To False Metal and the Pinkerton reissue are out 11/2.

…”Also nearly finished were: “I Swear It’s True & “Getting Up And Leaving”. Both of these were worked on to the point of just needing a final mixdown. Although this was never official, its nearly certain that they would have been the b-sides to “Pink Triangle”, if that had been put out as a “for sale” single. Of course, that never happened, and the songs were never dusted off and finished up. Note that Matt Sharp had left the recording session early, to fly back to London and continue work on his own second Rentals record. This left the band in a bind near the end, and a substitute bass player was brought in for some of the late b-sides sessions.”

Its nice to hear “Getting Up and Leaving.” I remember being excited when I heard the “I Swear It’s True” demo about 12 years ago when I frequented the Weezer message boards. I remember always wondering what the other Pinkerton session song sounded like.
Well, 14 years after Pinkerton’s release, it’s interesting to finally hear it. I found I was able to drop the modern-Weezer baggage while listening to this one. It’s like a time-capsule back to the good ole days.
“Blowin’ My Stack” is a little on the generic side. I’m not sure when it was recorded, but judging by its style, I’d guess sometime around Maladroit.
This is one of those bands that makes me feel a lot older than I should. I feel like some old weathered coach trying to relive my glory days whenever another rarity is unearthed from the Weezer vault.
