#021 - New Songs w/ Jason Cropper (founding member of Weezer)

This is essentially the "casual Friday" of episodes: Chris + Chris listen to some Weezer songs on shuffle and share their random thoughts. They also share wayyy too much information about RI accents, Guitar Hero and sex sounds (no, not Pet Sounds...sex sounds). But at its core, this just an hour of two friends enjoying some quality Weezer music as well as each other's company.Blue Album Battle: http://bluealbumbattle.buzzsprout.com/E-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ 2020 Weezer under exclusive license to Crush Music / Atlantic Recording Corporation

#019 - New Song, New Record, New Tour!

The Chrisses have a unique one for you this (bi)week…with summertime scheduling conflicts running amok (and a sure-to-be epic “Death to False Metal” episode impatiently waiting to be tracked), Chris the Elder takes the mic SOLO-style and offers an inside look into how to write and record an original song. The song in question is pertinent since it was inspired BY WEEZER and describes their controversial creative arc. No, it doesn’t much sound like our beloved L.A. Boyz but C + C hope you’ll all get something out of this unfiltered look into a human&apos;s creative and recording process. Also you&apos;ll learn the origins of "scat" singing so there&apos;s that...Download “Go, Go, Go” for free at: https://christopherknott.bandcamp.com/track/go-go-goE-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBD

#016 - Top 5 Bands Since Blue (Part I)

Well folks, in the immortal words of someone who kinda knows the lyrics to "Sgt. Pepper" - it was 25 years ago today! That&apos;s right, this day marks the silver anniversary of Weezer&apos;s Blue Album and Chris + Chris are ready to celebrate! Fun discussions and CONTROVERSIAL opinions abound in this 3+ hour breakdown of one of the best albums...ever. The boys also manage to eliminate one song each with their Black Album selections and perhaps even more impressively, narrow their favorites down to just 3 "heart" songs.Karl Koch on the making of Blue: https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/The_Story_of_Making_the_Blue_AlbumE-mail:WezTalkinWeez@gmail.comInstagram:@WezTalkinWeezTwitter:@WezTalkinWeezMyspace:TBDMusic ℗ 1994 Weezer under exclusive license to Geffen Records
