• "I played everything on the home demos which were usually recorded the same day I wrote the songs. " -Rivers • "Rivers has hinted that this album 'has a lot more to go' implying a total song count greater than 10 this time around." -Karl, from weezine #5, winter 1996 • "Hey, no argument here. Blast Off is one of the greatest melodies ANYONE'S ever written. " -Rivers • Excerpts from two AIM conversations that Ridd, Kyle and Jason of Weezon had with Rivers: Note: ‘rotr’ = Return of the Rentals ‘ijtotlomd’ = I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams Kyle: Are the other Black Hole songs as good as blast off?
