10 Episodes?!?! Wow, a year ago we couldn't even get one episode out and now we've released 10 episodes!!
For our tenth episode, we decided to do a series of episodes dedicated to different decades in Music. We talk about the music we love from the 80s in this one (We had to do it at some point because of the artwork) and there will definitely be a part two.
We also go on our infamous tangents and somehow end up talking about Christmas music that we like? Blink-182 obviously gets a mention here too. Stay tuned for a Christmas themed episode in December.

Kartik - Self Control by Laura Branigan

- Green Day's new single Pollyanna (A much needed optimistic song from Green Day!)
- The HELLA MEGA TOUR! The upcoming tour from 3 rock giants - Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer
Stay tuned for Kevin's panic Save it chant at the end, because of the one time that Kartik forgot to hit save on the recording.

- Kevin - Lucy by Simple Creatures
In this latest episode, we review/talk/commentate about the latest album from the van and only Weezer called Van Weezer.
In hindsight, I'm actually quite surprised we could stick to one topic and didn't go on our infamously elaborate tangents, hope you all enjoy this more focused episode!

You all requested it - and here we have it! A full-blown (Weeb) episode dedicated to anime and Japanese music. This is quite a niche topic and might not be for everyone but we implore you to explore [Kartik definitely wrote this B-)].
We talk about how anime is a great gateway into this completely new world of Japanese music and more! Kevin has already been exploring the depths of that genre while Kartik is still floating on the relatively shallow waters of anime openings/endings.
We hope you enjoy the episode and hopefully - We get a few of you journeying into the beautiful world of Japanese music!

Had to cut out a disturbing discussion about the story behind the album cover of RATM's debut. Hehe future bonus material? Fun for the whole family! Hey wait, why are you guys running away?!
A disproportionately bite-sized follow-up this week.
We get into:
- New ATL single
- Weezer tease new...what?
- Mayer album completed

Delayed by a year, but better late than never. Let's get this up and running!
We tried to stay on topic (wait, what was the topic again?) and failed horribly.
