Bonus Episode: The Blue Album by Weezer
I'm coming out of the basement on The Basement for a quick interview with my son on an album that's dear to my heart: "the blue album" by Weezer.
This cast is a companion piece to an upcoming episode of Album Anniversary by Ed Garcia of Power 97 Toronto, where he and I talked Weezer's debut album but after forcing Albie to listen to it for the first time, I knew we had to get behind the mic and get his intial reaction. Enjoy! -

Customer Reviews
I’m home!
There couldn’t be a better companion to one of the most creative, visionary book ever. I love how knowledgeable Albert is, and how he fills us in on all the backstories and the nitty gritty details. I never got to play Atari or play Galaga at an arcade, but now I feel like I was there! I can’t wait to listen to more.
Cheers!
Way better than I expected
I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect and have found myself loving it everyday
I love things so this pod is for me!
Albert has created such a Fantastic show that is pure entertainment. The in-depth look into all the pop culture references From Ready Player one just enhances the expirience of reading the book. They link things to the storyline which are things I missed or didn't understand when reading alone and now I love the book even more than I did before. I also have learned some great bits of trivia while listening that I love to repaet to anyone that will listen. Will has been such a great addition to the show and adds a level of comedy and knowledge that is absolutly wonderful.
