Today acclaimed
singer-songwriter and fellow podcaster (The Working Songwriter)
Joe Pug joins me for an unexpected choice of
favorite album - Weezer's classic 1996 LP
'Pinkerton'.
We talk about the seeming dissonance between Pinkerton and Joe's
own music, discovering the album as a 12 year old and why you are
more open to change in music at that age, how the CD age dictated
listening habits, how the lyrics have aged, why he would be wary of
collaborating with Rivers Cuomo, why supergroups
are overrated, Rivers' strange relationship with this record and
why young people can make sophisticated music.
