Nick Hexum is best known as the frontman of the band 311, which has now been together for over 30 years. In fact, their 1995 breakthrough release, commonly and affectionately referred to as "the Blue Album," turns 30 years old on July 11, 2025—just one day before their concert in their hometown of Omaha, NE, for 89.7 The River's 30th birthday bash. Throughout 311's career, they have released 14 studio albums, many of which reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 charts. The band has maintained its longevity through constant touring and by building a loyal, worldwide fanbase. In the eyes of many—including myself—311 is summertime's most favorite band. In 2025, Nick is taking his creativity to another level by releasing what he describes as 25 solo songs across multiple EPs. The first two, "Waxing Nostalgic" and "Full Memories," dropped in February and April of this year. These solo releases showcase a noticeable shift toward vulnerability and transparency. The themes revolve around coming to terms with one's relationship with nostalgia while also looking ahead to the future. A strong influence in this material is Nick's role as a father, husband, and all-around family man, resulting in a refreshing honesty conveyed through well-crafted Americana music. As a long time 311 fan, I personally, have been trying to manifest this conversation for five years and am glad to have had the opportunity to express my gratitude to Nick in this episode.

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Jamie's next pick, Green Day's "Dookie". Released in 1994, it is way up there on the list of the best selling albums of all time. Their major label debut, it came out of the gate strong and was amplified by an absolutely unhinged appearance at Woodstock '94. Critics have said this album marks a turning point in the 90's, moving music away from the grunge sound from the early part, to a more pop-punk sound in the later half. We've already covered four albums that came out in 1994, Live's "Throwing Copper", Weezer's "Blue Album", The Offspring's "Smash" and Nas' "Illmatic", but what will the boys think of this one? Will they be "Having a Blast"? Come along and find out!

Echoes of the trajectory of the Beatles still reverberate through music today, and they loomed quite large over the rock scene in the early 70's. In 1972 a bootleg 4-album set of Beatles songs was produced called "Alpha Omega" which sold well when marketed on TV. In response - in addition to suing - Apple and EMI/Capitol Records produced an authorized collection in two double albums. The first was called 1962-1966, also known as the Red Album, while the second was called 1967-1970, also known as the Blue Album. The Blue Album was a compilation of Lennon-McCartney original songs, avoiding many of the successful cover songs the early group had recorded. Unfortunately it also did not contain any George Harrison compositions from this time period. The Red Album did not contain any covers, as the Beatles were immensely popular on their own by this time. However, it did contain songs from George Harrison and Ringo Starr along with the numerous Lennon-McCartney originals.The album covers are notable, as they are similar photos of the group at different points in life. The cover to the Red Album used an image of the group looking down over the stairwell inside EMI's London headquarters. This was a photograph taken for the group's 1963 debut LP. The Beatles had recreated that shot in 1969 for their planned "Get Back" album, but did not use the image when the album was released in 1970 as "Let It Be."The compilation project was a success, and convinced other groups to release similar retrospective compilations. It is also a terrific way to see the progression of the band in seven short years of their activity. WSB Radio's Eric Von Haessler joins us to highlight these two influential albums in this week's podcast. Love Me DoThe very first single released by the Beatles was this track and the lead-off track from the Red album. John Lennon and Paul McCartney provide duet vocals on this song, and Lennon is the harmonica player. While it is credited as a Lennon-McCartney song, John Lennon provides the bridge, and has stated that it was a McCartney song before they began working together.Tomorrow Never KnowsThe concluding track from "Revolver" is the concluding track for the Red album, and shows how far the Beatles have taken their music in four short years. They are utilizing techniques like looped drums, reverse guitar, and processed vocals that were new to the music scene at the time.Strawberry Fields ForeverThis track opens the blue album. The inspiration for this song was a park in which Lennon played as a child, and evokes a childlike innocence. The music style was a departure from the Beatles' previous style, and is considered the introduction of the psychedelic genre.Let It BeA profound piece after the psychedelic period, "Let It Be" is often considered the swan song for the Beatles, because it was the final single released before McCartney announced his intention to leave the band. The inspiration of the song was a dream Paul McCartney had about his mother. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Knocking on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan (from the motion picture “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid”)This western movie had a revisionist history and starred a number of celebrities, including James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan himself. STAFF PICKS:Kodachrome by Paul SimonBruce starts out the staff picks with the lead single from Simon's third studio album "There Goes Rymin' Simon." While it did well in the US, it received little airplay in the UK due to strict rules the BBC had in place regarding product endorsements. The idea of the song is that we fit our memories to our worldviews like we frame shots in a camera.Money by Pink FloydRob brings us the lead single from the monster album "Dark Side of the Moon." A rare song in 7/4 time with a 4/4 guitar bridge, the lyrics describe the desire and material trappings that cause people to chase after riches. Peaceful Easy Feeling by the EaglesLynch features an iconic song from the Eagles. It was written long before this time by Jack Tempchen, a prolific singer-songwriter, but appeared on the Eagles debut album. Glen Frey is on lead vocals, and the harmonies are provided by Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Right Place, Wrong TIme by Dr. John Eric finishes the staff picks with a funky tune from New Orleans-influenced Dr. John. It was the first single from "In the Right Place," Dr. John's sixth studio album, and was also his biggest commercial hit, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. COMEDY TRACK:The Cover of "Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook & the Medicine ShowWayne presents the comedy single this week, as Dr. Hook seeks validation by appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

MUSIC A bunch of Brantley Gilbert fans in Tupelo, Mississippi got to be part of a VERY special moment Friday night. He had to run offstage in the middle of his concert when his wife Amber went into LABOR on his TOUR BUS. He posted a video where he stops the show for some sort of emergency. Then it cuts to him calling his mom to tell her she's got a new GRANDSON. His name is Abram Howell Gilbert. Ice Nine Kills have released a new single, "A Work Of Art," from the film Terrifier 3. And it comes with a 14-minute music video -- which has a graphic content warning because of all the blood that's spilled, and is on YouTube now. Sammy Hagar's 2015 custom-designed one-of-a-kind La Ferrari sold at auction Saturday. He bought the car for $1.6 million, but it sold for $4.25 million Saturday at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona -- $1.25 million more than he was hoping for. Taking the stage, he talked about the car only having 1100 miles and how it was "too much car" for him as it's overpowering. He added that he never hit its top speed of 217 miles-per-hour, and that it's "not a La Ferrari, it's THE Ferrari." Weezer one of the first music groups to have a presence in Fortnite, opening a "Weezer World" in 2019. They are back, and this time they're part of an open-world crime simulator game called Sweat(er) City that's inspired by The Blue Album. The features in the game include being able to use a weaponized guitar that plays the "Buddy Holly," a battle with Rivers Cuomo using a sweater yarn stun gun and a blue wall where players can snap selfies to recreate the album cover. Check out a trailer for the game on YouTube. TV Jake Paul has issued a $5 million challenge to heavyweight legend Mike Tyson ahead of their November 15th bout. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: Terrifier 3, featuring the bloody carnage of Art the Clown, came in first at the box office, pulling in $18 million during its first weekend of release. Spider-Man actor Tom Holland announced that he's launching a new line of non-alcoholic beer called Bero. AND FINALLY Google Trends released their annual collection of the top trending searches for this year's Halloween season . . . or, as they call it, the Frightgeist. Here are the Top 10 overall costumes: 1. Shrunken Head Bob from "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" (He's actually called "Shrinker Bob".) 2. Raygun, the Australian breakdancer extraordinaire 3. CatNap from the horror video game "Poppy Playtime" 4. Delores from "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" 5. Pomni from "The Amazing Digital Circus" 6. Envy from "Inside Out" 7.

According to some folks at this past Friday night at China Blossom Restaurant in N. Andover MA, where the comedy room Wicket Funny is, Jacques doesn't totally stink at stand up … nor does their pal Wayne Russell, who both moved to finals of 2ndannual Funniest Person In Merrimac Valley contest. Jacques learns what a “mom said no” item in a store is, we chat Vegas odds of Oasis tour actually happening, The Jane's Addiction dust up on stage in Boston this weekend … and someone running for public office who hates the non-child having cat lady, Taylor Swift (who we … think is a national treasure and a great person.) Joe gives a big thumbs up to “Legends Of Beavis”, Biff gives interesting breakdown of “Ghost Stories” from Japan and Jacques' kid has him watching JuJutsu Kaisen. Jacques and son went to pretty amazing Weezer 30th anniversary of Blue Album show (Dinosaur Jr was great, Flaming Lips sucked). Erling Haaland, footballer for Man City is a human cheat code (that's if he is human) and piss off to Complains and Observation's Dave for putting Jacques on anxiety ride watching West Ham games!

Join us on this episode of WorkTape as we continue our discussion of 1994, a year that, now 30 years ago, witnessed the rise of iconic albums and sounds. From how Green Day's Dookie solidified its place as a cornerstone of pop-punk, to how Weezer's Blue Album set the stage for a new era in alternative rock, we explore these topics and more. Become a part of the conversation as we examine how these albums have shaped the music landscape of the last 30 years.Episode Highlights:Is Green Day's "Dookie" still the quintessential pop-punk album?How did Weezer's “Blue Album” establish a new blueprint for alternative rock in the 90s?Was 1994 the 90s' most pivotal year for the transition from harder rock to a softer, more pop-oriented rock sound?What has made The Offspring stand out among their punk peers?Did Hootie & the Blowfish gain a large audience because of their “inoffensiveness”?
Fernando y Alfredo repasan otra de las obras que nos dejó la temporada de 1994. ¿Cómo superaron Rivers Cuomo y compañía ser ácidamente comparados con otras bandas de la época?

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.

Happy 30th Birthday to the Blue Album by Weezer. We're talking everything about one of our favorite bands. As a collective society, we all either love/hate Weezer. We talk about how they got their start, why there's such a mixed view of their music, covers, memes, and what getting weezered is.
Rachel, Evil and dl want a girl who will laugh for no one else, and to talk about Weezer
We're going back to the days when the geeks inherited the earth...specifically, the bands that were influenced by the monumental commercial and artistic triumph that was Weezer's 1994 self titled album (or, as it's affectionately known, The Blue Album). That's the subject of the new oral history and accompanying 11-track compilation album Generation Blue, out now from Big Stir Records and Spyderpop Records. Compiled and edited by this week's Third Lad, S.W. Lauden, Generation Blue is a fascinating celebration of the '90s Hollywood scene that included bands like Ozma, Nerf Herder, Baby Lemonade, Chopper One, and more. S.W. Lauden (aka Steve Coulter) was not only an active participant in the Geek Rock and Power Pop scenes, drumming for a series of LA bands like Ridel High, Tsar and The Brothers Steve, but is also accomplished writer. He is the editor of the essay collections Go All The Way: A Literary Appreciation of Power Pop and Forbidden Beat: Perspectives on Punk Drumming. His power pop-themed crime fiction novellas include That'll Be The Day: A Power Pop Heist and Good Girls Don't. He is also the author of the Greg Salem punk rock PI trilogy, starting with Bad Citizen Corporation. Find more of Steve's music writing on Substack at Remember The Lightning, including his semi-annual print/ebook Guitar Pop Journals. Generation Blue is also available as on Kindle: Generation Blue: An Oral History of The Hollywood Geek Rock Scene in the 1990s & 2000s - Kindle edition by Lauden, S.W., Koch, Karl, Fisher, Justin.

We take a left turn and talk about going to Mars before talking about Sunny Day Real Estate, The Beastie Boys, Weezer and The Lion King Soundtrack.
We're going back to the days when the geeks inherited the earth...specifically, the bands that were influenced by the monumental commercial and artistic triumph that was Weezer's 1994 self titled album (or, as it's affectionately known, The Blue Album). That's the subject of the new oral history and accompanying 11-track compilation album Generation Blue, out now from Big Stir Records and Spyderpop Records. Compiled and edited by this week's Third Lad, S.W. Lauden, Generation Blue is a fascinating celebration of the '90s Hollywood scene that included bands like Ozma, Nerf Herder, Baby Lemonade, Chopper One, and more. S.W. Lauden (aka Steve Coulter) was not only an active participant in the Geek Rock and Power Pop scenes, drumming for a series of LA bands like Ridel High, Tsar and The Brothers Steve, but is also accomplished writer. He is the editor of the essay collections Go All The Way: A Literary Appreciation of Power Pop and Forbidden Beat: Perspectives on Punk Drumming. His power pop-themed crime fiction novellas include That'll Be The Day: A Power Pop Heist and Good Girls Don't. He is also the author of the Greg Salem punk rock PI trilogy, starting with Bad Citizen Corporation. Find more of Steve's music writing on Substack at Remember The Lightning, including his semi-annual print/ebook Guitar Pop Journals. Generation Blue is also available as on Kindle: Generation Blue: An Oral History of The Hollywood Geek Rock Scene in the 1990s & 2000s - Kindle edition by Lauden, S.W., Koch, Karl, Fisher, Justin.

Send us a Text Message.In Part II of my interview with former Actor/Radio DJ Jimmy Baron, we cracked open the vault of personal music memories. Picture this: Music Midtown Festival '95, where my chance encounter with Jimmy Baron led to him recommending seeing the band Cake's performance who we both still listen to. Throughout our chat, we unearthed the anthems that defined a generation, from Twisted Sister's raucous "Stay Hungry" to the enduring charm of Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever" – an album that defied initial rejections to become a classic hit. We mused over how tracks like "I Won't Back Down" become part of our collective consciousness, uniting us in a chorus of resilience and remembrance of the artists who've left their indelible marks on our hearts. We celebrated the 30th anniversary of Weezer's 'Blue Album' and relived songs like "Come Undone" and "Buddy Holly". Strapping on our nostalgia skates, we glided back to the days of 99X and Dave FM. On a more personal note, Jimmy Baron shared the tale of his own career pivot from the radio biz to real estate, reveling in the unexpected fulfillment of helping clients find their dream homes. Embracing his mother's wisdom to zero in on what truly matters, he found a fresh beat in the rhythm of life, proving that sometimes the B-side of our careers can produce the greatest hits.
In tonight's episode I'll be reviewing Weezer's debut album: The Blue Album in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Enjoy.

Critically praised yet publicly reviled at its release, the self-titled debut of Weezer has since seen a resurgence of appreciation thanks to its presence in internet meme culture. That and the fact it's just a damn good album. Join the theater kids as they traverse the Blue Album!
Writer/musician S.W. Lauden is this episode's guest to talk about a limited-edition vinyl LP compilation and oral history book called Generation Blue. The album and book explore the Hollywood Geek Rock scene of the '90s and early 2000s, featuring key bands Nerf Herder, The Rentals, Ozma, Baby Lemonade, Psoma, and Weezer who released their triple-platinum Blue Album 30 years ago this spring. Previewed by the hit indie single “Where The Hell Is She,” a lost Geek Rock nugget by the band Shufflepuck, the album features eleven rare or exclusive vintage tracks while the book tells the story of the scene in the words of those who were there—including Lauden who played drums for the band Ridel High.

I phone an expert to dig into Weezer's now classic self-titled 1994 debut, also known as the Blue Album.
Not all greatest hits albums are for house-people and little thems. Some, like “1967-1970” (and its red, commie companion) are as essential as the bands they represent. This week, the Twerk Twins dish deep on the packaging, origin, and legacy of these history-making collections and their 2023 remixes, and also ask:
