I went into this video thinking: "eh- I don't really care much for Weezer but I like this TH-cam channel and I might as well learn a thing or two." Now I've already blasted and danced to the Blue Album so... I was wrong. Still not a total Weezer fan, or even a fan, but yeah- their music isn't bad. I feel like knowing the lore of a band often makes their music sound more impressive and phenomenal.
For a kid growing up at that time Columbia House was a gold mine. It was a clueless company with an awful business model that you could exploit repeatedly. I remember getting so many cassettes & CDs from them by applying multiple times. We moved around nyc so I could use a new address each time. They'd send you 12 cassettes, & later CDs, for a penny with an agreement to buy 4 more from them at an inflated price, but no one ever did. 😂.
Yes! That was a good overview of Columbia House. I'm loving your channel. The Velvet Underground episode was so good. ❤
Thank you so much!

it made me sad when rivers would shun "pinkerton" ....that is my favorite record......i'm glad they came back around to embrassing it
Also, ever thought about doing a video on the music of Jason Molina (Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co.)?
Maybe the fact they opened for Sloan is the reason i've always liked Weezer. Sloan is from Halifax, NS (which is where i live)
I've never really gotten into Sloan, I'll have to give them another listen
Left mid 80’s Arlington for San Diego? 🤣 that revolution summer era of the dc scene was huge in shaping the decades to follow.
I said that a little tongue in cheek since EVERYONE wants me to do a Fugazi video. A little inside joke
3:50 hey,
That will count for something ♣️
I don't know if you have ever heard of Vic Thrill, out of NYC. I would love to learn more about them if you ever thin it a fun video.
Queens of the Stone Age 🙏
Completely skipped the Green album.
Tom O' Keefe sucks
