Ep. 66. Almost exactly 17 years after first recording "Burning Sun," Weezer released "Weekend Woman," a song born from the bones of that Green Album era demo.

Ep. 37. "I've Had It Up To Here" is the fifth track off of Everything Will Be Alright in the End, a return to form for the band and John's favorite Post-Pinkerton album. In discussing this song, John makes the case that it helps illuminate how the guy who wrote Pinkerton isn't as different from the guy who wrote Raditude as you might think. LISTEN: 1.
