The Greatest Non Hits
Weezer: The Blue Album
Take a nostalgic trip with us back to the '90s as Tim and I, your rock-savvy hosts, crack open the story behind Weezer's iconic Blue album. From their raw Los Angeles beginnings to their polished rise under the guidance of The Cars' Rick Ocasek, we're peeling back the layers of their musical evolution. Get ready to rank deep cuts and laugh along with our personal anecdotes, all while uncovering the quirky trivia that makes Weezer's world so fascinating.
Our banter leads us through the cultural fabric of the era, as we poke fun at the dated yet earnest themes in tunes like "My Name is Jonas" and "No One Else." Tim's spot-on Fran Drescher impression might just steal the show! We also share a contemplative moment reflecting on "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here," blending our insights with the kind of humor that would make Rivers Cuomo himself crack a smile.
Wrapping up, we pay homage to the harmonies that defined a generation. Ever wondered about the unforgettable riff in "Buddy Holly" or the get-up-and-go energy of "Surf Wax America"? We're dissecting the elements that continue to influence our own musical tastes, all with a backdrop of international vacation dreams and a nod to garage rock's enduring legacy. Tune in for a session that's as much a celebration of Weezer's sound as it is a trip down memory lane.
One two, one two, three.
Speaker 2:All right. Thank you for listening to the Greatest Non-Hits. I'm Chris, and playing Weezer's Say it Ain't so from their debut Blue album is my co-host, tim. Thank you so much for listening, as always, and continue to download our podcasts wherever you get your podcasts and we've got a great one this evening. This is the debut album from the band Weezer. This is the debut album from the band Weezer Started out in Los Angeles and made this album, produced by Rick Ocasek, who was the lead singer of the Cars.
Speaker 2:Yeah huge popular band from the 80s, and this was released in April or May of 1994, just after the death of Kurt Cobain on April 5th of that same year. So from my point of view, to me it feels sort of like a post-grunge album. To me it feels sort of like a post-grunge album and, incidentally, the members of the band, from what I'm reading and this is just through reading Rolling Stone, Wikipedia, Weezerpedia- I didn't even know. That was a thing until I started researching. But, yeah, this is released on May 10th 1994.
Speaker 2:And it feels to me like this is post-grunge because it's released shortly after the death of Kurt Cobain. So it was a little bit heavier and I think that the band, from what I'm reading, started off as having a heavier tone to them, and what I mean by that. I think it really starts with the lead singer. His name was Rivers Cuomo. He, I think, from Connecticut, started a band like a few other big name bands started with their band and they travel to LA with their band.
Speaker 4:break up while they're in LA meet other musicians from other groups Make up while they're in LA.
Speaker 2:Meet other musicians from other groups. Click with a few other musicians and sort of like the rest is history, so they move out there in 89. Make some connections, meet other band members, practice a lot, decide to make a studio album but in a garage, you know low budget, and then send it out to producers, and that's what they did. I think around you know the era of 1992, I think they were getting some sort of a following with in the la area I think their first gig was also the the first gig of the band dog star, which was headed by keanu reeves.
Speaker 2:So they're I think that they're they followed that band like I mean they were the keanu's band played and then they played afterwards. But there was a buzz after that, I guess, and so they received a lot of positive feedback and eventually Rick Ocasek replied back to them, said that they liked it the band was floored, kind of a thing.
Speaker 2:I'm reading this from Weezerpedia and kind of paraphrasing what I'm reading as I go along, but anyway, it's sort of a background into what led to this album. And so they hit it off with Ringo Kasich. He chooses to re-record the album and all the songs that they had written at the Electric Lady studio in Manhattan. So fly out to Manhattan, hang out with Ringo Kasich. Record this. Run into some drama at the Electric Lady studio in Manhattan. So fly out to Manhattan, hang out with Ringo Kasich. Record this. Run into some drama. I think the bass player I think it was Jason Cropper was the name of the bass player at the time who was replaced by Brian Bell towards the end of the recording. He was another rhythm guitar player. Who he was?
Speaker 2:And they call up Brian Bell, who they had met in LA and were really buddies with him and asked him what action figure he liked from Star Wars and he said this is my favorite thing, hammerhead. And he's like do you want to be in the band? He's like hell, yeah. So, not to upset the record company, they replaced Cropper with Brian Bell and they didn't miss a beat. They finished up the album and it's got some classics on it, you know, and it's widely considered their best effort.
Speaker 2:They go on to make a lot of really great records after this and they kind of title them after different colors. I think there's like a black album at some point in time there's a teal album, but anyway, this is the first one. This was the blue album. This has Say it Ain't, so that was a big hit. It's got Buddy Holly, it's got Undone, the sweater song. That was the first one. I remember that coming out and, yeah, I remember this album really well at the time and I liked it. I liked all these songs, even though I never I never bought this album and I never listened into the songs that are deeper it's just those three songs that I've come to know, but all these are fairly new to me.
Speaker 2:So we're going to do what we always do on all of our episodes Listen to all the songs, rank the top three of the non-hits and put a bow on it, but of course, along the way as we always do, we're going to yuck it up. We've got a bunch of song banks, uh, or sound banks, I should say, and that now that that was fonzie, I don't know if you remember, in the buddy holly video, at the beginning of the video or I think, during the video, they show fonzie during the the marathon dance or the the dance-a-thon marathon, kind of a thing that he agrees to do for Shortcake. Even after walking his bike for 19 miles or something like that, in the cold, he still makes his promise and just to spite the couple that was still in it, at the end he does this thing to Hava Nagila. He's doing this dance move. Anyway, that's the background of our intro.
Speaker 2:Tim's going to wrap up. I'm going to look at what else do we got here. There's some other interesting little tidbits. We'll cover those along the way once we start getting into it. My Name is Jonas is the first one.
Speaker 2:Anyway, other band members Brian Bell, jonas no, not Jonas, that's the name of the song. Well, tim's kind of a fan. He can probably rattle off some of these guys. Tim, how you doing bud? You're a little rocky, carpet is a little snag. Getting fixed up, getting it together, work it, own it, little pretty woman action. Come on, don't tell me you don't like this chair. There he is he's getting settled in, you feeling it Getting the headset on, all right. There he is how you doing, bud man.
Speaker 3:You feeling? All right, I'm less blue after listening to this album. It's got its ups, it's got its downs, it's got its all around. It's like a carousel. You got to work it. That's right. You got to work it. Um, any shout outs today? You want to shout out to ross, uh, who wanted to do this album, wanted us to this album, all right, shout out to cousin lindsey, who, uh ross lindsey.
Speaker 4:What's up what?
Speaker 3:else. What else, Cousin Adam? These are people that like Weezer and they have an off-putting charm. You know, they really do.
Speaker 2:Kind of like the band itself. Yes, what's off-putting, what's charming? Can I ask? I don't know.
Speaker 3:It's a nerdy charm.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:It's like a non-confident charm even lindsey, even cousin lindsey no, the band, oh man, oh okay, you're talking about your cousins.
Speaker 2:I was like are you sure you want? Okay, I'm glad I clarified that.
Speaker 3:Then the cousins have their own charm, that's right, independent of weezer. Um, really, this is just some raga. You know it's some LA raga and it is raga, but it's, you know, it's our raga and I'm this is one of those crossover bands where both of us dig them, I think yeah, I my music tastes evolved to sort of, I guess, hedge out weezer in my band travels and conquest of music, but I still have a place in my heart for Weezer. I haven't evolved.
Speaker 2:I love them. It's just fun, because it's fun music.
Speaker 4:They're not trying to expand the curvature of music or anything.
Speaker 2:They're just trying to have fun.
Speaker 3:I agree. I think it's a lightheartedness.
Speaker 2:Nothing was really lighthearted back then either, even though there wasn't really war going on. It was like things were not bad, I mean domestically. Yeah, I think things were kind of like you know, Hanson. Yeah, there was like racial tension.
Speaker 3:Hanson was a band. I mean, come on, yeah, the jonas brothers weren't, but jonas is in the.
Speaker 2:My name is jonas. It sounds like my name is luca. Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't know you want to get into it or uh Are we? Ready. Yes, you got some clips.
Speaker 3:I don't know what I'm trying to say. What's the central focus of this album? The hell are you even saying? I don't know, let's just get into it.

Speaker 3:talking to the dream Really.
Speaker 1:Where did you get this jacket I got. I'll tell you, surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, no hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying, hey, bud, let's party.
Speaker 3:Oh man, this last song is Gonna skew everything here, as the last song usually does. Well, yeah, it's kind of long.
Speaker 2:It's like almost 8 minutes. It's still going, but it's good. Everything here, as the last song usually does. Well, yeah, it's kind of long, it's like almost eight minutes. It's still going, but it's good. I kind of like this.
Speaker 3:It's nice.
Speaker 2:It adds some touching appeal to it. There's a little Siamese, there's a little Smashing Pumpkins in this. Now that I think about it, now that I listen to it, this has Siamese Dream written all over it. This part.
Speaker 3:It's about a girl he wishes to be with. He doesn't want to mess it up with her in his dream because of this unavoidable love he has for this girl.
Speaker 2:Oh, who was it, I wonder? I'll crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces, but only in dreams.
Speaker 3:This is also River's favorite solo. Is this a solo? This is his favorite personal solo here. All right, alright. He says this is a rare solo People don't play solos like this anymore. Give it a try. Wow, okay, yes, wow, okay, yes. Well, I'll tell you still, I did babble some humongous ways. These are some humongous sounds here. That's a humongous riff, at the very least Simple, but it's unaffected, I agree. You can call it a solo, but it's like a band solo, it's a build-up jam. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, build-up jam.
Speaker 1:Be still darling Light of my life.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. There's kind of a psychotic thing. He's like crushing toenails into a thousand pieces. That's very like wendy light of my life light of my life, oh so pitiful, oh, so pitted. All right, that was nice. All right, that's it. Yeah, that was a pretty brief, relatively speaking. So what are we thinking here in terms of, uh, top three non-hits? Um, what's your number three? What do you? What do you? Where are you gonna go with it?
Speaker 3:where am I gonna go with this? The nostalgia for me of my name is jonas. It's one of their more melodic. It has the acoustic. I'm going with that number three. My name is Jonas, got it, yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, I didn't put a ton of thought into this, but Surf Wax America was kind of a goofy song to me. I kind of like the way it had so many different surf references. I like the fun that we had, you know like yeah and that yeah, for that reason I'll make that my number three okay, well, I'm going in the garage.
Speaker 3:I like the safest cubby of you know, matching them in some LA cul-de-sac or whatever that was a good, that was good. Hanging out in the garage Number two for me Good, good selection.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking only in dreams is my number two. Oh wow, I liked the instrumental. Um, I liked the how it all built up the crescendo at the end and it had that, and then it finishes up with that single little bass and it's probably something that's overlooked, and just the fact that it was his uh his favorite solo, kind of like, nailed it for me and and got me there, so that's gonna be my number two. That's my number one, I think. All right, yeah, nice, what did you like about?
Speaker 3:it, the fact that it just went into this opera mode of a composure like a composition of his own making. He dreamed these sounds up with his buddies and they're doing it. So, regardless of the chick, that's supposed to be the the main focal point.
Speaker 2:Um oh yeah, so you got into the storyline of it too, yeah yeah okay, good storyline right now yeah, I think I'm gonna make my number one in the garage Nice. There was a lot to like about that and I liked how they kind of worked the word garage into the chorus. They just call it garage Garage and that was kind of what we said back in the Midwest garage Garage, you just kind of run it all.
Speaker 4:It's garage rock yeah.
Speaker 2:So that gave me a little bit of nostalgia. This is very nostalgic. It has a feeling of nostalgia throughout the album and it was that part of the song that I liked and it jammed from going in and out of the chorus and it was well-crafted, well-done, yeah.
Speaker 3:I made that my number one. It was nostalgic, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I like my Name is Jonas. That was good, I could have put that in there and I guess blue is a good color.
Speaker 3:You're my boy, blue it is For this album.
Speaker 2:You're my boy.
Speaker 3:It's a great color. Yeah, the green is good. Green's a good it's a great color.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the green is good, green's good album as well you know, yeah, the teal album. I think there is a teal album, I think, like in the 2000s or 2010s that they made.
Speaker 3:That's later on or maybe even 2016, yeah, they they've got a few more so anyway, great color.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, we'll put a bow on this one and uh well, we'll see. We'll see y'all on the flip side. Take care Woo.
