Featured article: Generation Blue


Generation Blue is a 2024 multimedia project curated and edited by S.W. Lauden (a pen name for former Ridel High drummer Steve Coulter). It consists of a compilation album and oral history book covering Weezer's contemporaries in the early 90's in Los Angeles.

The book covers the influence of the influence of the Blue Album on the local music scene's development, and includes retrospectives and personal accounts from members of Ozma, Supersport 2000, Shufflepuck, Chopper One, and Nerf Herder, among others. Its foreword was written by Karl Koch and its afterword by Justin Fisher.

The record was released both digitally and as a limited-edition vinyl LP on April 26, 2024. It features 11 songs by the bands featured in the book, some of which are previously unreleased. A record release concert was held on April 28 in Monrovia, CA.

Featured song: "Paranoid Android"


"Paranoid Android" is a Radiohead song released in 1997 on OK Computer. It was covered by Weezer in 2011. The song is noted for being referenced in Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori, and also "obliterating" Rivers Cuomo when he first heard it in 1997 while on the Pinkerton Tour. Weezer's cover of the song features Josh Freese on drums, with Patrick Wilson filling in on third guitar.

Featured quote - An excerpt from Rolling Stone's interview with Weezer, Rolling Stone article - November 3, 1994,



Cuomo comes to surface a week later, calling from a Howard Johnson's and apologizing for his absence. "I was losing my mind that day," he says, "so I jogged for three hours around New York. That night we played - and it went great." An upbeat statement, considering that Cuomo's persona and lyrics are more sad than goofy. Weezer tread the dangerous line between gimmick and straightforward rock & roll: Anguished love songs like "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" butt heads with half-assed Cuomo asides: "I look like Buddy Holly...and you're Mary Tyler Moore."

-Rivers Cuomo, November 1994
