If your name is Jonas or you look just like Buddy Holly (wee-ooo) you're probably familiar with this week's album-- we're covering Weezer's 1994 debut, appropriately called The Blue Album! New Year, New Podcast, lots of twos. Tune in to learn about the band's connection to Keanu Reeves, the wide world of pigeon racing, and why the band almost left some of their biggest hits off this record. We're waxing up our mics to bring you this staple of the Geek Rock genre, from the deepest recesses of Rivers Cuomo's garage to the unravelling threads of his favorite sweater. Will we find this semi-emo record Remarkable or Remarkably... something else? Say it ain't so!
