+[[Weezer]] performed an acoustic set in the NPR Music offices for the Tiny Desk concert series on [[February 27]], [[2019]]. Video of the session was released on [[April 1]], [[2019]].

-==Overview==
-===NPR YouTube description===
-<blockquote>April 1, 2019 | Robin Hilton -- This is probably the loosest you'll ever see Weezer. Known for meticulously produced — and electric — live shows, frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] and the rest of the band settled in behind the Tiny Desk for an entirely acoustic set without the in-ear monitors, click track or vocal separation they usually employ to stay locked-in and tight for bigger performances. The result is surprisingly intimate, with songs that feel lived-in and rumpled, like an old flannel shirt from the '90s.
-Weezer opened with one of the band's rarer songs: "[[Longtime Sunshine]]," a [[1994]] track that's only appeared as a Rivers Cuomo home recording on bootlegs and [[Alone I|compilations]], and on the deluxe edition of ''[[Pinkerton]]''. Then the band performed a stripped-down version of its electro-pop song "[[Living in L.A.]]," from Weezer's new self-titled "[[Black|Black Album]]," followed by another deep cut, "[[Across the Sea]]." It's a song Cuomo originally wrote in his early 20s, inspired by a fan letter he'd received from a young woman in Japan. While beloved by many Gen-Xers who'd first heard it on [[1996|1996's]] ''Pinkerton'', the song's lyrics haven't aged terribly well.
-Weezer returned to its newest material to close the set with "[[High as a Kite]]," from the new album. A song of innocence and escapism, Cuomo sings about daydreaming and how he wants to disappear — which is exactly what the band did once the song was over, but not before Cuomo told the crowd, "We are Weezer, from the planet Earth. Have a nice life!"</blockquote>
