Weezer - My Name Is Jonas (The Kitchen Tape)
On May 10, 1994, DGC Records released “Weezer”, the self-titled debut album by Weezer. The story has been told and re-told many times, but the crux of it was that no one thought it would do very well, even though all the band and the band’s small inner circle felt they’d made a really good album. The assumption was that people would say “who?” and laugh at the audacity of a new band putting out a debut album on a major label, with no fan base, no single out, nothing.
And… that’s exactly what happened! For a while anyway. 90 copies sold the first week (just who were the 45 people we *didn’t* know who had bought it knowing nothing about the contents?), and a steady trickle after that, as we drove around in our van playing such illustrious gigs as opening up for a screening of “Rollerball”, playing an actual battle of the bands (and not winning), and playing for less than 0 paying customers (it’s unclear how we got to “-2 sold”, but that’s what the promoter said…)
Finally, after a few months, 107 The End in Seattle started playing “Undone”. Before that only a handful of college stations were even dabbling with the record. Things escalated quickly after that. KROQ Los Angeles added Undone, Undone got a video which MTV played, opening for Lush, lines of kids at the shows, switching from van to bus to keep up with the schedule, opening for Live, Buddy Holly video… and so on - and on, and on!
What else is there to say but thank you for the decades of love and support from all the fans, colleagues, friends and family?
Well, there is something else to say, in fact!
The Blue Album was Weezer‘s first album of course, but it wasn’t their first *attempt* at making an album. Check out this recording of "My Name Is Jonas" from what became known as "The Kitchen Tape", recorded in the summer of 1992 at our home/rehearsal space in West LA. Most of the self produced Kitchen Tape songs have never been officially released, including this song. Happy 30th birthday to the Blue Album! We’re working on a special release to celebrate, but more on that soon. For now, enjoy this, give the blue album a spin today, and we’ll see you on the Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour this fall. #bluealbum #voyagetotheblueplanet #karlscorner

Weezer - What's the Good of Being Good
I don't think weezer plays any of the instruments they have. Someonecelse does that for them.
Who's listening in 2077?!
❤
C’est bizarre je reconnais la maison de mes parents… par contre, les gars je les ai jamais vu… y viennent d’où ?
Thank you karl
Pleaseeeee México Tour!!!
I play A-Ha like once a week, and I just got this in my YT feed? C'm on google algorithm, do better!
Is that Finn Wolfhard as the young River's? His best acting role to-date
Jason Cropper in the picture. Pretty cool.
sounds like religious music from another dimension
Bro the captions says that the piano said thank you.
Most least watched Weezer video ever
riverzão ta no formol, cheers from brazil <3
Cursive singing be like (I love this)
When you look just like buddy holly and I’m Mary Tyler Moore
I thought this was a royalty free song from The Sims, and you can't blame me for thinking that.
So good... Rivers sounds so passionate
I'm now a believer in the Weezer
Also that accordion does not sound like any accordion I've heard before
That voice does not sound like any Weird Al songs I've heard before.
What's the name of this song
Lyrics: We're talking away Though I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, OK? Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is ok Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Oh, things that you say Is it a life or just to play my worries away You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me Take me on I'll be gone In a day (Take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone (take on me) (Take on me)
Happy 8 years aniversary to this song!
I don’t think we’re in Toto anymore…
YIPPEE CONGRATS WEEZER SEE YOU GUYS IN OCTOBER
Weezertallica?
HAPPY 30 YEARS!!!! I aboustley love this album with all my heart
Just got tickets to St Paul!
Epic
I listen to different genres of music, and this is one of my favorites!!! It takes me back to the 80s when I heard the original done by "Toto" Weird AL and Weezer did a great cover. I give this a thumbs up!!! 👍🏾
Rip Quinton (The magicians)
Going on tour they were just on The Kelly Carkson Show! 🎵🎸🎙
Best part of New Year Rockin Eve 2019
criminally underrated cut off one of weezer's best modern albums to date. This really deserved to make the original album lineup
I couldn't listen to this without thinking about the Netflix series "community"
It's a great rendition, and mainly because they didn't vary too much from Toto version.
HAPPY 30THHHH !! this sure was a helluva ride, from point a to point b. i keep getting weezered lol. long live weezah =w=
