The '''Office Demos''' are a group of acoustic demos recorded in 2003 in a rented office space.  From 2003 to 2008, the only Office Demos that had been heard were the songs "[[Everybody Wants a Chance to Feel All Alone]]" and "[[Private Message]]".  Since then, several more demos have been released (presumably because of [[Karl]]) through iTunes and as bonus tracks on albums. In June of [[2003]], after the [[S.I.R. Demos]], Weezer began to rent office space in Los Angeles where they would rehearse with acoustic guitars and record demos directly into Rivers Cuomo's laptop.  The office was a standard business office in an industrial park and not designed for band rehearsals.  The four members of Weezer would play sitting on chairs and couches around a coffee table facing each other.  In addition to acoustic guitars played by Rivers, Brian or Pat, and acoustic bass played by Scott, other instruments used on the demos were Pat's Stratocaster and a Nord synthesizer.
