At Some Point, Birds and Flowers Became Interesting is the debut album from Pat Wilson's band, The Special Goodness.
Overview
At Some Point, Birds and Flowers Became Interesting was recorded after Patrick Wilson finished recording for Weezer's The Green Album in early 2001.[1] It released in April of 2001, the first official album to be released under the The Special Goodness name (Wilson had also released a solo album titled The Special Goodness in 1998).
This album is often referred to as The Pinecone Record or The Pinecone Album, derived from the image of a pinecone on the cover. It was self-released and sold only at shows and through the band's official site, and only 1000 copies of the CD were made.[2] Recording and mixing are credited to Franklin Mint, one of Wilson's aliases. Atom Willard was brought into the band after the recording of this album,[3] and remained a member of the band until the release of Natural in 2012.
Several songs were later re-recorded for different projects, both Weezer and Special Goodness related. "The Story Is Wrong" and "Reason To Worry" were recorded by Weezer during the demo sessions for their fifth album in 2002, and played live a few times that year. "You Know I'd Like...", "Whatever's Going On", and "Life Goes By" would later surface on 2003's Land Air Sea.
