Weezer - Pinkerton

I’ve been revisiting this gem of an album lately and I seriously forgot how great it was.
Pinkerton was Weezer’s second album, released on September 24, 1996. It experienced a bit of difficulties from the get go, like scattered recording time since Rivers was at Harvard and had leg surgery. Heck, the album was almost pulled […]

Weezer - The Christmas Song

This is a typical Weezer song, despite the title.
It originally appeared on L.A. radio station KROQ’s 1999 Christmas compilation; but it also appeared on imports of the band’s 2001 self titled album, aka The Green Album and I think it was also a single.
Basically, it’s what we’ve come to expect from Rivers Cuomo; him being alone. […]
