Welp, it features special guest, Weezerpedia maestro Jason Boxer to talk about the album that Weezer fans love and the band has a very complicated relationship with: Pinkerton. No other one other than Jason could have been as el scorcho with his insights!

Plus! Kyle loves a more obscure New Edition track! Jason brings in a Canadian track (NOT LOUIE!) by The Most Serene Republic! Louie introduces the boys to Darkwave!

And also! Rivers Cuomo: The College Years!

You don’t have to go across the sea, it’s all right here!

E7 - Pinkerton

Before Vince Guaraldi made his mark in pop culture with his iconic music for Peanuts, he released Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus, which includes his wonderfully warm hit, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," his haunting cover of "Moon River" and more. This episode marks Louie and Kyle's first foray into the world of Jazz, and they are joined by their old pal, Jason Boxer! The trio discusses Jason running for his local school board, songs that may or may not secretly be psy ops and why Vince's music makes us feel so good.

When Frank Sinatra released "Into the Wee Small Hours" in 1955, he changed the trajectory of American popular music in a big way. This week, Louie and Kyle delve into what's arguably the first concept album of all time and explore the arrangements and emotions that make "Into the Wee Small Hours" so classic. 

Plus, the boys get into some musical shlock too as they have a lively discussion about a band fronted by a real British royal and another who were some sort of creepy cult!
