The guys are joined by repeat revisitor and lil' bro Dave Montgomery to discuss the Blue Album by Weezer which was released 25 years ago on May 10th, 1994. Plenty of discussion about Buddy Holly, Matt Sharp, nerd rock, Ric Ocasek, and the worst intro (but also best intro) we've ever produced.
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
Matt Heart Spade & Jinners chat about Sebadoh finally releasing a new album, their first in 6 years, called Act Surprised and the new single "Celebrate the Void." They also talk about odd touring partners Smashing Pumpkins & Noel Gallagher -- and wonder, do people even like Billy Corgan anymore? Couldn't help but also talk about their faves performing in interesting new ways: Morrissey on Broadway and Bjork at The Shed. Had a moment of memorial for the passing of Keith Flint from Prodigy and Luke Perry of 90210. Matt reminisces about his meet & greet experience with Garbage. In their Repeat/Skip segment, they discuss what they wouild repeat and skip on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Fever To Tell and Weezer's Blue Album. Back in the day, Matt and Jinners used to put together showcases for their blogs, and each share a show memory. Then finally they talk about the new music festival in NYC called New Colossus and look back to their days at SXSW. Find out who they gave kudos to!Special thanks to Ryan Mulkey, our technical director who also wrote our theme song and drew our cover art!
In this B-Side of groupies, we dig into how musicians evolve their sound. After we produced our A-Side on Weezer's Blue Album, we started to take a look at the way they've changed their sound over the years. With that, we dug into how exactly artists change things up (for the worse or the better). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/groupies/support
In the brand new format switchup of our A-Sides and B-sides, we dig into our first classic album on the podcast. That album? None other than the 1994 debut for nerd/pop/punk rock legends, Weezer. The Blue Album, rated as 10/10 on Pitchfork and other music reviewers, is a legendary 10 track album debuted by Rivers Cuomo and his group of rockers. We dig into what makes the album so good, talk about the history of the album, and tons more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/groupies/support
The Blue Album is clearly Weezer's most popular album, but big fans of the band will often times say Pinkterton is their best effort. On this month's (it's going to be monthly) Crowd vs. Cred, Spike and Billboard's Andrew Unterberger talk about the albums.
Hell yeah! Today in the studio for our first mini-episode Brandon Ream (The Nostalgic Front), John Bilancini, and Amy Bilancini talked to Josh Gondelman about two of his favorite albums from 1994, Weezer's Blue Album and Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die. Check out Josh's album, "Physical Whisper" and watch Last Week Tonight! Also subscribe to 1994 and The Nostalgic Front, and rate them!
For several generations of rock fans, Weezer's "Blue Album" and its follow-up, "Pinkerton", are foundational albums of adolescence. What is it about Rivers Cuomo's socially awkward anthems that connects with so many misfits? In the wake of a new Weezer album, "Pacific Daydream", Steve called up Vulture movie critic Emily Yoshida to discuss their mutual Weezer phases, and they wound up delving deep into the band's catalogue as well as the intensely emotional highs and lows of teenagerdom. Other topics include: the sorta-Weezer tribute band Ozma, the embarrassing video for "Beverly Hills," and the best Weezer songs to sing at karaoke. This episode, like that bottle of Steven's, is guaranteed to awaken ancient feelings. Support from: ZipRecruiter
