Ozma in the studio (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=1285153&blogID=217884965)
I'm not going to bash you for making statements like this even though you are new, but this and your post about the post about the podcast are already mentioned before. I am not going to be a jerk and take off karma (which means nothing anyway), but for future reference just read are latest threads. You'll usually find that we're already talking about what you want to post. I realize the fact that Ozma has made a blog about it is new, but upon further reading you could of posted it in the studio pics thread (where the video was first posted by hipsun). Just here to help.

First off, I missed the podcast thing too. I wouldn't have thought to associate a Yes Dear thread with Daniel on a podcast. Frankly, I'm barely interested in Yes Dear anyway. And I don't think it's so bad to discuss the videos in their own thread. So I say we let this be, as the other one was getting kind of clouded and off topic.
doesnt ryen know that smoking is bad for you????
Life is bad for you.

Exactly. No need to flame L for creating a thread about the topic. The Yes Dear topic 1) Isn't exactly Ozma related anymore. and 2) Is severely off of it's own topic.
L, thanks for the updates.

Yeah thats why I said its better to have posted it here.
I posted it on the yesdear page becuase they told me about s
chemdely who almost joined yesdear was in a band called the elctrolites. That lead me to finding this podcastthat had many good bands including the elctrolites and daniel brummel on it, so I posted it there.

No.
That was me saying no. Sorry, I guess he was still logged on to the computer when he got off. Now we cant delete post so we cant fix it.
there is no c in shmedly.
woops thanks marm
name all the bands shemdley has been in. what is the best?
according to his myspace it says that he has done some studio work with ozma, so i would have to say... ozma
what did he do with ozma? i like ozma also
Keyboard/studio work on STOTB (as in the album, not song), I believe. Perhaps more, check out the liner notes in the lyrics in the Ozma info section.
Oh and for your question about his bands, these the ones I know on the top of my head. Theres probably more.
-Arlo
-The Elected
-The Electrolites
-Yes Dear (listed as bass duties post-Ozma reunion, i don't know though, he's not a member as of now)
-Above mentioned studio work.
Wasn't Shmed listed on weezer.com as their keyboardist? Aren't there enough Weezer nerds here to verify?
I am in fact one of those nerds. I do not ever recall them ever having a live keyboardist. Brian sometimes played keyboard on the latest tours while their guitar tech Bob Schneck played Brian's guitar parts. Perhaps this is what you are thinking off. They are semi-similar names in the sense they are both odd 'S' names. Schneck - Shmedly.
Um, no, that is exactly what I am not thinking of.
yes i fancy myself the biggest Weez nerd on here, i THINK i heard that he did Weez-work. He also does work on the Space Twins album The End of Imagining, Brians' band, work on the piano, celeste. On further inspection i dont see him listed on Make Believe, but i believe the touring keys player may be right.

I forget his name, but he toured on the Make Believe tour for sure (not shmed). He played keys/guitar and switched off with Brian. I specifically remember because he was from suburban philly and Rivers said so during the concert.
Rivers says alot of things. all of which are true. except the one about me specifically being a little bitch.
He toured with Ozma. Mostly East Coast dates. When Dan was busy doing school things, I think. Like graduating, maybe?
if i'm not mistaken, shmedly played piano parts for weezers ALMOST fifth album songs, like Mad Kow, Private Message, The Organ Player, and Hey Domingo among other songs.

quoted for truth. He was even listed on their site for his keyboard duties.
yeah, I don't even like weezer and I know that he played on those album 5 demos. Way to go, nerds.
way to be late with the answer then, other mike
and wrong u do like weezer, u just dont like new weezer. i have yet to met an ozma fan that doesnt recognize the awesomeness of blue/pinkerton. or are u the first?

I was being at least partly facetious; I do like weezer's first two albums and almost every single b-side and non-album cut from that era (though I really can't recall the last time I've listened to any of them), but when the majority of a band's output is total crap I can't support them or consider myself a fan.
yes, Weezers' Golden Era is the reason i still hang on to my Weezlove, because of what used to be :'(
thou i do love Green album and Make Believe, i cant STAND anything else theyve done since 99. SS2k, Maladroit, Album 5 demos. skip it. big time. the only thing worse than maladroit is the green album b-sides.

i love "i do" it is one of my favorite b-sides.

I must admit you have been quite the jokester lately.
WOW i hate "i do" and the other 12 worthless b-sides. ok i do like christmas celebration and the jimmy pop mix of HP. so funny to me for some reason. i like the green demos "new joint" , "cryin and lonely", and "burnin sun" FARRRRRRRRR more than the b's themselves.

although it sounds nothing like a weener song it has a beautiful melody that cannot go unnoticed.
any of you weezer nerds with the dvd video capture device could see said schmedly playing the keyboards in the live studio session recording of prodigy lover

because i know what he looks like? good call.
Quotealthough it sounds nothing like a weener song
ha. weener used to be an Samuel weezer cover band in dallas.
i dont get it.

i dont get it.
I think he was trying to be cool and call weezer "weener", but I could be mistaken.
Though I am not a member those boards, in the past 6 months the WeezerNation boards have been reduced to chaos. The admins there have put filters on different words. Such as Weezer gets changed to Weener. Plus all the different boards are named different as well. Such as Equipment has gotten changed to Jake Lamotta.
Quoteweener used to be an Samuel weezer cover band in dallas.
what i was trying to say with that statement was that a group named "weener" was a dallas weezer cover band.
or are all the "i dont get it" and "hes trying to be cool" directed at ILO?
QuoteWeezerNation boards
ha. those are still around? wow. i was a big poster at the WIDF, but thats gone now. or is it? i hope it is, weezer is dead to the world
as was brought out on the weezernation board if you type in weezer it is automatically changed to weener. i guess i have just gotten used to typing weener instead.
I think schmedly might have programmed the little weird synth arpegiation thing in "Spending Time" (the song). I had a talk with him about what exactly he did on the Ozma record when he toured with them on the Rooney fiasco shows, but I forget exactly what he said. I remember he took credit for "programming", so anything that seems inhumanly fast on that record, he might be responsible for. And at the risk of being off topic, yeah, you self proclaimed huge weezer nerds should reevaluate your titles after missing that bit of trivia. Incidentally, he was a really nice guy, but his bass playing was lackluster. Maybe I'm being too judgemental, but it's hard not to feel ripped when you pay for an OZMA show and see some guy playing root notes. Both him and Nate were really cool though.

I will take this time to tell you that yes, you are being too judgmental. Shmed's knowledge of the Ozma tunes obviously lacks DB's nuanced intimacy with his own band's compositions- esp. with such a small amount of rehearsal time... but to put Shmed at a level below Daniel or vice versa would be a disservice to both men, and I think they'd both be thrilled to be considered as peers. Both are outstanding musicians and composers in their own rite. It's too bad Dogshit never recorded... you could get a true sense of Shmed's versatility.
Aside from that, I respect what you know and how you feel- you seldom arrive at a conclusion without some serious forethought.
ive never been a self proclaimed weezer nerd. i like the band, but not near as much as ozma.

I know that Shmedly MUST be a good musician for the mere fact that he gets studio work. And because of that, I had gotten kind of excited about seeing him play even if it wasn't DB. But I think given his lack of prep time and probably a desire not to overstep his bounds led him to play in a very basic manner. In 99 out of 100 bands, I probably wouldn't have noticed a thing. You're probably right about me being over judgmental, but I also want to clarify that I wasn't trying to shit-talk his musicianship on any wide scale. I was merely addressing his bass playing in the context of the performance, which, for the previously stated reasons, should probably be forgiven. Still, I thought the whole tour situation was weird.
