Ep. 48. "The First Noel" is the fourth track on the Christmas With Weezer EP, and the focus of today's new episode. John explains who is responsible for the instrumentation given that Rivers Cuomo didn't pick up a guitar at these sessions, and why 2008 was the perfect time for such a different approach to a Weezer recording.
