This is essentially the "casual Friday" of episodes: Chris + Chris listen to some Weezer songs on shuffle and share their random thoughts. They also share wayyy too much information about RI accents, Guitar Hero and sex sounds (no, not Pet Sounds...sex sounds). But at its core, this just an hour of two friends enjoying some quality Weezer music as well as each other's company.Blue Album Battle: http://bluealbumbattle.buzzsprout.com/E-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ 2020 Weezer under exclusive license to Crush Music / Atlantic Recording Corporation

That's right Chris, Chris AND Weezer are all back with some sweet new 'tent for your tender ears...on September 10th, the band officially released "The End of the Game" - the first single off their forthcoming record VAN WEEZER (coming in May 2020).

The Chrisses have a unique one for you this (bi)week…with summertime scheduling conflicts running amok (and a sure-to-be epic “Death to False Metal” episode impatiently waiting to be tracked), Chris the Elder takes the mic SOLO-style and offers an inside look into how to write and record an original song. The song in question is pertinent since it was inspired BY WEEZER and describes their controversial creative arc. No, it doesn’t much sound like our beloved L.A. Boyz but C + C hope you’ll all get something out of this unfiltered look into a human's creative and recording process. Also you'll learn the origins of "scat" singing so there's that...Download “Go, Go, Go” for free at: https://christopherknott.bandcamp.com/track/go-go-goE-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBD

Well folks, in the immortal words of someone who kinda knows the lyrics to "Sgt. Pepper" - it was 25 years ago today! That's right, this day marks the silver anniversary of Weezer's Blue Album and Chris + Chris are ready to celebrate! Fun discussions and CONTROVERSIAL opinions abound in this 3+ hour breakdown of one of the best albums...ever. The boys also manage to eliminate one song each with their Black Album selections and perhaps even more impressively, narrow their favorites down to just 3 "heart" songs.Karl Koch on the making of Blue: https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/The_Story_of_Making_the_Blue_AlbumE-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ 1994 Weezer under exclusive license to Geffen Records

C + C are joined by dear friend - and brilliant musician - Mr. Steve Johnson to break down the most rippin' record in Weezer’s oeuvre: Maladroit! The boys somehow manage to evoke Metallica, The Misfits, Mr. Bungle, Local H, System of a Down, Flaming Lips, The Who, Incubus, Bob Seger, Wu Tang Clan and Carol King - none of whom have A LICK to do with the record in question…Regardless, they have themselves a spirited discussion about one of the most misunderstood - and just plain missed - records of Weezer’s career.E-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ Weezer under exclusive license to Geffen Records / Crush Music / Atlantic Recording Corporation

Spend a Christmas with Chris + Chris as they listen to "Christmas With Weezer" for the very first time! Recorded live at a party Christmas night, Chris + Chris (+ Friends!) ramble their way through their most misguided and misinformed episode yet. So if most episodes leave you thinking, "why did they leave that in?" or "why are they so very stupid and annoying??" then this is NOT the episode for you. But if you want to hear some good friends enjoying a Christmas party together, telling stories, and listening to some Weezer jams then you've come to the right place! But be forewarned, this one is particularly NSFW...

It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for…well at least if you are Jorge “Hurley” Garcia himself! In this one C + C discuss Weezer’s divisive 2010 release HURLEY. They also get you caught up on Weezer news, talk medieval instruments and declassify Chris the Younger's diplomatic mission to a country with the initials N.K. (and no, it’s not the ‘nited Kingdom…) And as always the boys burn their least favorite song from the record (easy!) and seek out 3 songs they really like (hard!).E-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:TBDTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ 2010 Weezer under exclusive license to Epitaph
