Show Notes

WEEZER GETS SINCERE!  Television Generation's Katy Johnson and Will Hayden help us investigate the mysteries surrounding one of the only two good Weezer albums.  Is quality an outlier in Weezer's discography? How much brutal honesty is too brutal? Do Pinkerton fans like Weezer? Do Weezer fans like Pinkerton?  Is this album responsible for the entire emo genre? Why does 25-year-old Rivers Cuomo write like an old man when 50-year-old Rivers writes like a teenager?  Is Weezer's version of Toto’ s “Africa” their “Kokomo”? And most importantly: what is the age of consent in Japan? Help us uncover the strangeness of “Pinkerton” on this week's Detours and Outliers.
