Concepts Podcast

The boys discuss the goods and good-nots (?) of Weezer’s sophomore album Pinkerton. Is it better than their self-titled first album? Does it deserve the amount of love it gets? Is Rivers Cuomo a chauvinist nerd? All of these questions and more are kind of touched on in this new episode! Matt re-lives a bit of his teen-angst days (again), Nick gives a brief lesson in opera history and the boys finally get a cease and desist letter from the Italian government!

The boys embark on a “discovery” of whether they’re “human after all”, but they may not have done the “homework” required. Daft Punk is the topic at hand, specifically Daft Punk’s gorgeous and ambitious 2013 record “Random Access Memories”. Nick talks about his fandom for Daft Punk’s least liked album, Matt recommends the controversial opinion that Tron is better enjoyed on drugs, and the boys can’t stop losing themselves to that dang ol’ dance!

The boys get so blue when they talk about Joni Mitchell’s seminal confessional, also called “Blue”. Nick and Matt spend much of the episode in awe of Joni’s brilliant songwriting prowess and reflecting on the album’s crushing sadness, but they do of course find time for some of their classic “goofs”, “japes”, and of course: “funnies”. Other topics include Nick’s grand unifying theory of the Joni Cinematic Universe, Joni Mitchell’s well-documented love for Pepsi Blue, and Matt’s pitch for Amelia Earheart returning as Captain America.
