0:22

Weezer's Say it Ain't so

0:24

from their debut Blue album

0:26

is my co-host , tim

0:28

. Thank you so much for listening

0:30

, as always , and continue to download

0:32

our podcasts wherever you get your podcasts

0:35

and we've got a great

0:37

one this evening . This

0:40

is the debut album from

0:42

the band Weezer . This is the debut album

0:44

from the band Weezer Started out

0:46

in Los Angeles and

0:49

made this album , produced by Rick Ocasek

0:52

, who was the lead singer of the

0:55

Cars . Yeah huge

0:57

popular band from the 80s , and

1:16

this was released in April or May of 1994

1:19

, just after the death of Kurt Cobain on April 5th of that same year . So from my point of view

1:21

, to me it feels sort of like a post-grunge album . To me it feels sort of like a post-grunge

1:24

album and , incidentally

1:26

, the members of the band

1:28

, from what I'm reading and this is just through reading

1:30

Rolling Stone , Wikipedia

1:33

, Weezerpedia- I didn't even know

1:35

. That was a thing until I started

1:37

researching . But

1:45

, yeah , this is released on May 10th 1994 . And it

1:47

feels to me like this is post-grunge because it's released shortly after

1:50

the death of Kurt Cobain . So

1:52

it was a little bit heavier and I think that the band

1:54

, from what I'm reading , started off as

1:57

having a heavier tone

1:59

to them , and what I mean by that

2:01

. I think it really starts with the lead

2:03

singer . His name was Rivers

2:05

Cuomo . He , I

2:07

think , from Connecticut

2:09

, started a band like

2:11

a few other big name

2:14

bands started with

2:16

their band and they travel to

2:18

LA with their band .

2:19

break up while they're in LA meet other

2:22

musicians from other groups Make up while they're in LA .

2:24

Meet other musicians from other groups . Click with a

2:26

few other musicians

2:28

and sort of like the rest is history , so

2:30

they move out there in 89 . Make

2:34

some connections

2:37

, meet other band members , practice

2:40

a lot , decide

2:50

to make a studio album but in a garage , you know low budget , and then send

2:53

it out to producers , and that's what they did . I think

2:55

around you know the era of 1992

2:57

, I think they were getting some sort of a following with

3:00

in the la area

3:02

I think their first gig was

3:05

also the the

3:07

first gig of the band dog star

3:09

, which was headed by keanu reeves

3:12

. So they're I think that they're they

3:14

followed that band like I mean they were

3:16

the keanu's band played

3:18

and then they played afterwards . But there

3:20

was a buzz after that , I guess , and

3:22

so they

3:26

received

3:29

a lot of positive feedback and

3:32

eventually Rick Ocasek replied

3:35

back to them , said that they liked it the band was

3:37

floored , kind of a thing . I'm

3:39

reading this from Weezerpedia and

3:42

kind of paraphrasing what I'm reading as I go along

3:45

, but anyway , it's

3:47

sort of a background into what led to this

3:49

album . And so they

3:52

hit it off with Ringo Kasich . He

3:55

chooses to re-record

3:57

the album and all the songs that they had

3:59

written at the Electric Lady

4:01

studio in Manhattan . So fly out to Manhattan

4:04

, hang out with Ringo Kasich

4:06

. Record this . Run into some drama at the Electric

4:08

Lady studio in Manhattan . So fly out to Manhattan , hang out with Ringo Kasich . Record

4:10

this . Run into some drama . I think

4:13

the bass player I think it was Jason Cropper was the name of the

4:15

bass player at the time who

4:18

was replaced by Brian Bell towards the end of the recording

4:20

. He was another rhythm guitar player . Who he was ? And

4:24

they call up Brian

4:26

Bell , who they had met in LA and were

4:28

really buddies with him and asked

4:31

him what action figure he liked from Star

4:33

Wars and he said this is my favorite

4:35

thing , hammerhead . And he's like do you want to be in the band ? He's

4:37

like hell , yeah . So

4:40

, not to upset the record company , they

4:42

replaced Cropper

4:45

with Brian Bell and they

4:47

didn't miss a beat . They

4:49

finished up the album and it's

4:51

got some classics on it , you

4:54

know , and it's widely

4:56

considered their best effort

4:58

. They go on to make a

5:01

lot of really great records after this and

5:03

they kind of title them after different colors

5:05

. I think there's like a

5:07

black album at some point in time there's

5:10

a teal album , but

5:13

anyway , this is the first one . This was the blue

5:15

album . This

5:17

has Say it Ain't , so that was a big hit . It's

5:19

got Buddy Holly , it's

5:22

got Undone , the

5:24

sweater song . That

5:28

was the first one . I remember that coming out and , yeah , I remember this

5:30

album really well at the time and

5:33

I liked it . I liked all these songs , even

5:35

though I never I never bought this album and

5:38

I never listened into the

5:40

songs that are deeper it's just those three songs

5:42

that I've come to know , but

5:44

all these are fairly new to me . So we're

5:46

going to do what we always do on all of our episodes

5:49

Listen to all the songs

5:51

, rank the top three

5:53

of the non-hits and put

5:56

a bow on it , but of course , along the way as

5:58

we always do , we're going to yuck

6:01

it up . We've got a bunch

6:03

of song banks , uh , or sound

6:05

banks , I should say , and

6:09

that now that that was fonzie

6:11

, I don't know if you remember , in the buddy holly video

6:13

, at the beginning of the video

6:15

or I think , during the video , they show

6:17

fonzie during the the marathon

6:20

dance or the the dance-a-thon

6:22

marathon , kind of a thing that he agrees

6:25

to do for Shortcake . Even

6:28

after walking

6:30

his bike for 19 miles or

6:32

something like that , in the cold , he

6:34

still makes

6:37

his promise and just to spite

6:39

the couple that was still in it , at the end he

6:41

does this thing to Hava Nagila . He's

6:44

doing this dance

6:46

move . Anyway , that's

6:49

the background

6:51

of our intro . Tim's going

6:54

to wrap up . I'm going to look

6:57

at what else do we got here . There's

7:02

some other interesting little tidbits . We'll

7:05

cover those along the way once

7:07

we start getting into it . My

7:12

Name is Jonas is the first one . Anyway

7:18

, other

7:21

band members Brian Bell

7:23

, jonas no , not Jonas

7:26

, that's the name of the song . Well

7:30

7:33

can probably rattle off some of these guys

7:35

8:41

What's up what ?

8:42

else . What else , Cousin

8:44

Adam ? These are

8:46

people that like Weezer and

8:49

they have an off-putting charm . You know , they

8:52

really do .

8:53

Kind of like the band itself . Yes

8:56

, what's off-putting

8:58

, what's charming ? Can I ask ? I

9:00

don't know .

9:01

It's a nerdy charm .

9:02

Okay .

9:03

It's like a non-confident charm

9:06

even lindsey

9:08

, even cousin lindsey no

9:10

, the band , oh man , oh okay , you're

9:12

talking about your cousins .

9:13

I was like are you sure you want ? Okay , I'm glad I clarified

9:15

that .

9:15

Then the cousins have their own charm

9:17

, that's right , independent of weezer

9:20

. Um , really

9:22

, this is just some raga . You know

9:24

it's some LA raga and

9:27

it is raga

9:29

, but it's , you know , it's our raga and

9:32

I'm this is one of those crossover bands where both

9:34

of us dig them , I think yeah

9:36

, I my

9:39

music tastes evolved to

9:41

sort of , I

9:43

guess , hedge out weezer in

9:46

my band

9:48

travels and conquest of music , but I

9:50

still have a place in my heart for Weezer . I

9:53

haven't evolved .

9:55

I love them . It's just

9:57

fun , because it's fun music .

10:00

They're not trying to expand the curvature

10:03

of music or anything .

10:04

They're just trying to have fun .

10:06

I agree . I think it's a lightheartedness

10:08

.

10:10

Nothing was really lighthearted back then either , even

10:13

though there wasn't really war going

10:15

on . It was like things were not bad

10:17

, I mean domestically . Yeah , I think

10:19

things were kind of like you know , Hanson

10:21

. Yeah , there was like racial

10:23

tension .

10:24

Hanson was a band . I mean , come on , yeah

10:27

, the jonas brothers weren't , but jonas

10:29

is in the .

really good harmony .

21:52

With the acoustic , the links of them in

21:55

the background .

21:55

I just like the different voices of the guys

21:57

singing in harmony together . It's

21:59

excellent it's good I'm

22:03

going to be good credit for that .

22:02

Excellent it's good I'm gonna get credit for that and

22:09

well produced by rick of case too gradually

22:20

let the horseshit of the external

22:23

world fade from your awareness

22:25

.

22:26

All right , Is

22:28

that a little palate cleanser there

22:30

? Oh yeah .

22:31

The world didn't leave you anywhere . You're just

22:33

where you are , that's right

22:35

22:42

enjoy . Oh

23:26

you got

23:34

a front full . Woo . I don't care what they say about us anyway

23:36

, I don't care about that , All

23:43

right . This one was the second hit after the

23:45

sweater song . This also had a supporting video

23:47

. This is the one that has Bonzi doing that

23:49

dance at the end . It's

23:52

kind of cool . This

23:59

is ranked number 484 on Rolling Stone's list of

24:01

greatest songs of all time .

24:02

Sure it's a Mary Tyler Moore , fred

24:05

Astaire , you know . I

24:17

guess this is written by Rivers also oh

24:20

Rivers is on everything , oh

24:23

yeah .

24:25

I guess his friends were making fun of his girlfriend

24:28

at the time . So he read it Something

24:31

in relation to that . In

24:40

little Smashing Pumpkins in this . Now that I think about

53:08

it , now that I listen to it , this has

53:10

Siamese Dream written all over it . This part .

53:13

It's about a girl he wishes to be with

53:15

. He doesn't want to mess

53:17

it up with her in his

53:19

dream because

53:21

of this unavoidable love

53:23

he has for this girl .

53:27

Oh , who was it , I wonder ? I'll

53:30

crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces

53:32

, but only in dreams .

53:35

This is also River's favorite solo

53:38

. Is

53:40

this a solo ? This is his favorite personal solo

53:42

here . All

53:55

right , alright . He says this is

53:57

a rare solo People

54:09

don't play solos like this anymore . Give

54:15

it

54:31

a try . Wow , okay , yes

54:33

, wow , okay

54:38

, yes . Well

54:42

, I'll tell you still , I did babble some humongous

54:44

ways . These are some humongous sounds

54:46

here . That's

54:49

a humongous riff , at the very least Simple , but it's

54:53

unaffected , I agree . You

54:57

can call it a solo , but it's like a band solo , it's

55:00

a build-up jam . Yeah

55:02

.

55:04

Yeah , build-up jam .

55:07

Be still darling Light

55:10

of my life .

55:15

I'm not gonna hurt you . You didn't let me finish my sentence

55:17

. There's kind of a psychotic thing . He's like crushing toenails into a thousand

55:19

pieces . That's

55:21

very like wendy light

55:23

of my life light of

55:26

my life , oh so pitiful

55:30

, oh , so pitted . All

55:36

right , that was nice . All

55:40

right , that's it . Yeah

55:43

, that was a pretty brief , relatively

55:46

speaking . So what are

55:48

we thinking here in terms of , uh , top three

55:50

non-hits ? Um , what's

55:53

your number three ? What do you ? What do you ? Where are you gonna go

55:55

with it ?

55:55

where am I gonna go with this ? The

56:01

nostalgia for me of

56:03

my name is jonas . It's

56:07

one of their more melodic

56:09

. It

56:11

has the acoustic . I'm going with that

56:13

number three . My name is Jonas , got

56:16

it , yeah .

56:17

All right , I

56:20

didn't put a ton of thought into this

56:22

, but Surf Wax

56:24

America was kind of a goofy

56:26

song to me . I kind of like the way it

56:29

had so many different surf

56:32

references . I like the fun that we had , you know

56:34

like yeah and that yeah , for that reason

56:36

I'll make that my number three okay , well

56:39

, I'm

56:41

going in the garage .

56:44

I like the safest cubby of

56:46

you know , matching them in

56:48

some LA cul-de-sac or whatever that

56:53

was a good , that was good . Hanging

56:55

out in the garage Number two

56:57

for me Good , good selection

57:00

.

57:00

I'm thinking only in dreams is my

57:02

number two . Oh wow , I liked the

57:04

instrumental . Um , I liked the how it all built

57:07

up the crescendo at the end and it

57:09

had that , and then it finishes up

57:11

with that single little bass and it's

57:14

probably something that's overlooked , and just

57:16

the fact that it was his uh his

57:18

favorite solo , kind of

57:20

like , nailed it for me and and

57:23

got me there , so that's gonna be my number two . That's my number

57:25

one , I think . All right , yeah , nice , what

57:28

did you like about ?

57:28

it , the fact that it just went

57:31

into this opera mode

57:33

of a

57:35

composure like

57:37

a composition of his

57:41

own making . He

57:44

dreamed these

57:46

sounds up with his buddies and

57:48

they're doing it . So , regardless

57:51

of the chick , that's supposed

57:53

to be the the main

57:55

focal point .

57:57

Um oh yeah , so you got into

57:59

the storyline of it too , yeah yeah okay

58:02

, good storyline right now yeah

58:05

, I think I'm gonna make my number

58:07

one in

58:09

the garage Nice . There was a lot to

58:12

like about that and

58:16

I liked how they kind of worked

58:18

the word garage into the chorus

58:20

. They just call it garage Garage

58:22

and that was kind of what we said back in the

58:25

Midwest garage Garage , you just kind

58:27

of run

58:29

it all .

58:29

It's garage rock yeah .

58:31

So that gave me a little bit of nostalgia . This

58:33

is very nostalgic . It

58:36

has a feeling of nostalgia

58:38

throughout the album and it was that part

58:40

of the song that I liked and

58:43

it jammed from going

58:45

in and out of the chorus and it was

58:47

well-crafted , well-done , yeah .

58:51

I made that my number one . It was nostalgic , you

58:53

know .

58:53

Yeah , I mean I like my

58:55

Name is Jonas . That was good , I could have put that

58:57

in there and

59:00

I

59:02

guess blue is a good color .

59:04

You're my boy , blue it is For this album

59:06

.

59:07

You're my boy .

59:09

It's a great color . Yeah , the green is good . Green's

59:14

a good

59:16

it's a great color .

59:17

Yeah , the green is good , green's good album as well you know , yeah , the

59:20

teal album . I think there is a teal album , I think , like in the 2000s

59:22

or 2010s that they

59:24

made .

59:25

That's later on or maybe even

59:27

59:30

59:39
