Ep. 80. "Get Me Some" is one of Weezer's heaviest rock songs, but John explains why the song feels out of place in both the album era it was created (Raditude) and the larger Post-Pinkerton era in which it was born.

Ep. 79. John is back with a brand new episode about one of his favorite Post-Pinkerton songs EVER! "Eulogy for a Rock Band" is exactly what its title says it is, and yet, there's a lot of mystery to explore as well, including figuring out which band this song is about. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 78. "Freak Me Out" is one of the rare Weezer songs for which we have no alternate versions. There's no demos, no live performances, nothing but the album track. John explains why, and examines what makes this one of the most unique songs in Weezer's entire catalog. LISTEN: 1. "Freak Me Out" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 2.

Ep. 77. If any school offered a Masters Degree in covers of the A-Ha song "Take On Me," today's guest Jess Lampe would not only hold one, but also be a tenured professor in the department.

Ep. 76. When Weezer couldn't release as many tracks as they wanted on their 2002 live EP The Lion and the Witch, they decided to hide one.

Ep. 75. Raditude may be the worst album in Weezer's discography, but "Let It All Hang Out" is a surprising gem that you may not have heard. John explores this collaboration between Rivers Cuomo, Jermaine Dupri, and Jacknife Lee, and explains how a video game managed to make this song even better.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 74. You'd think this rough, 46-second demo would inspire an equally short podcast episode, but instead, it allows John to discuss many topics, ranging from Rivers Cuomo's longtime friendship with the musician Kevin Ridel to Cuomo's business instincts in the early 2000s.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 72. John discusses "Queen of Earth," a scrapped Album 5 demo that was a departure for the band in terms of its lyrics and sound. John examines why he didn't like it back in 2002, why it's grown on him, and how the band's experiment with a fifth member impacted the initial demo fans heard. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 67. Dylan Gallagher joins the show to talk about "O Girlfriend," the final track on the Green Album.

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. 64. John is joined by Steve Grogan of the We're All Yankovics podcast to discuss one of his favorite Post-Pinkerton songs, "I'm A Robot," from the unreleased song compilation Death to False Metal.

Ep. 63. "Worry Rock" is the seventh track off of Green Day's 1997 album Nimrod. And no, you're not listening to the wrong podcast -- Weezer recorded a cover of the song in 2002.

Ep. 59. "Possibilities" is one of the more disliked songs in Weezer's catalog. John describes why fans hate it, why he doesn't mind it, and why this song sounds so damn loud, and why we have so many versions of it in today's new episode. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 56. John is joined by Sean Paul Ellis of Saturday Mourning Cartoons to discuss Photograph, the third single off of the Green Album.

Ep. 54. Rivers Cuomo wrote "Put Me Back Together" with the help of Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects. They had a wonderful time working together and thought they had created a new Weezer classic. John explores all of the ways they got it wrong in today's episode. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 53. John is joined by podcaster and longtime Weezer fan Tom Chansky on the show to discuss "1,000 Years," a song we have from the late '90s when Rivers Cuomo was performing in the Boston area with a group fans dubbed The Rivers Cuomo Band. John and Tom discuss the song, why it sounds so different from eventually became the third album, and why it's often confused for a Homie song.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 51. A big show for a big song: John dives deep into the 18-year life of "Hash Pipe." Today's episode has everything: Summer Songs 2000, The Green Album, the TV show Peter Gunn, a Massachusetts band called The Shods, and the Santa Monica prostitute who inspired it all. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 50. "Silent Night" is the last track on the Christmas With Weezer EP. John takes it as an opportunity to reflect on why he likes this EP, what the detractors have to say about it, and why he thinks it's sneakily one of the band's best Post-Pinkerton projects.

Ep. 46. "O Come All Ye Faithful" is the second track on Christmas With Weezer, the EP that began its life as an iPhone application. On today's show, John talks about the band's version of this famous carol and why Rivers Cuomo plays a different role than usual on these recordings.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 39. I think it's safe to say that today's episode will have more Shrek talk than any other episode you'll hear from this series. John discusses "My Best Friend," its history with the animated film Shrek 2, and why this song wasn't on Make Believe ... until it was. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 38. Summer Songs 2000 isn't an official album, and not something the band was planning to revisit until fans demanded it. But there are songs from this time period that didn't make the official unofficial release. "Ev'ry Night" is one such song. John talks about how this minor work illustrates the way the band was gently beginning to re-shape its own narrative.  LISTEN: 1. "Ev'ry Night" on YouTube 2.

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.

Ep. 34. "All My Friends Are Insects" is an unusual Post-Pinkerton track for many reasons: it's not written by any band members, it's for children, and ... it's almost universally loved by the fans. John is joined by returning guest Diana Metzger -- and his daughter! -- to talk about Weezer's one and only appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba! LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 33. John is joined by Diana Metzger of Brightest Young Things to discuss "Don't Let Go," her favorite track off of The Green Album. Diana talks about what this song means to her, the extent of her relationship with the band over the years, and why the tweaked version of the song the band started performing live doesn't do it for her.

Ep. 32. The common joke about "Misstep" is that it was, well, a misstep for the band. But, more than anything, this demo illustrates the ways that Weezer's experimental recording process in 2001 and 2002 constrained their ability to play around by publicizing almost all of their studio work.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 31. "Trampoline" is a song from the mysterious Weezer period of the late 1990s, but fans didn't get to hear it until it surfaced on the compilation Death to False Metal in 2010. Learn about the song's history on today's show, and how it illuminates both sides of the "Is this an album?" debate raging amongst diehard Weezer fans since Death to False Metal's release. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 29. John welcomes Scott Auth (I Miss the Old Weezer blog) to the show to discuss "Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter," what it has to do with the band Wavves, the specific way it invokes Pinkerton, and the broader ways it plays around with the '90s Weezer sound.

Ep. 28. "Preacher's Son" is a curious song in Weezer's history, because while it's ostensibly in some part about Rivers Cuomo's relationship with his father, the song mostly avoids talking about that relationship at all.  LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 27. "Memories" holds a strange place amongst Weezer's Post-Pinkerton work: dismissed by fans upon release, only to later inspire what might be the band's most beloved tour of the Post-Pinkerton era. John discusses all of this, plus the song's connection to the cast and crew of the Jackass franchise. LISTEN: 1. "Memories" (Hurley version) on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 2.

Ep. 23. Weezer kicks off a nationwide tour with the Pixies this weekend, so what better way to celebrate than with Weezer's cover of The Pixies' "Velouria." John discusses why this song was so important to the start of the Post-Pinkerton and which famous musician thinks this is the best Pixies cover of all-time. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 18. "Crazy One" is a Rivers Cuomo demo from 1998 written in the aftermath of a relationship he screwed up. While it sounds like material worthy of a classic, '90s-era Weezer tune, "Crazy One" reveals a lot about what's to come in the band's future. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 13. By the numbers, The Green Album is the best-selling album of the Post-Pinkerton era. But it left a lot of fans cold. John discusses the way that "Simple Pages" is indicative of some of the larger issues on the album. LISTEN: 1. "Simple Pages" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube LYRICS: 1.

Ep. 12. John is once again joined by his longtime friend Nick Klinger to talk about "We Are All On Drugs," a single off of the 2005 album Make Believe. Why did Nick want to discuss it? Because many consider it to be one of the worst Post-Pinkerton songs. LISTEN: 1. "We Are All On Drugs" (mistake version on first pressing of Make Believe) on YouTube 2.

Ep. 8. "California Kids" is the first track off of The White Album, arguably the favorite Post-Pinkerton album amongst the band's most ardent fans. John explains what he likes so much about this song, and how it participates in a conversation that has stretched across the band's entire career. LISTEN: 1.
