Only In Dreams features Irish bands windings, Dott, So Cow, Me And My Dog and Swimmers playing songs from the first two Weezer albums, which in the words of the organisers, “are so superb they totally eclipse all the shite they released after them.”

In my humble opinion, Pinkerton eclipses Blue/Green so this seems like a missed opportunity.
Blue all the way. In The Garage pretty much described my teenage years…..
I quite liked green myself. Not dismissing the greatness of the earlier ones I just prefer Green :)
A lot of the stuff after that though …….
Niiice, bit unfair about stuff after, Green album is great too and some of their best stuff on Maladroit although not a grest album
I think anyone who only likes Weezer’s 1st two albums is cool. And when they call anything that came after that ‘shite’ I think they’re REALLY cool.
Yeah, there’s a bit of that about being a weezer fan. I personally like a few songs off most of their albums, though Pinkerton and Blue are still their best. Maladroit and Green are solid if not great and a good 50% of the Raditude and Red album works for me. Hurley and Make believe were pretty dodgy, though.
I know two Weezer songs
Welcome to TXFM
That song about his young penfriend is a bit creepy….
By the way, any Weezer fans on here should check out Rivers’ appearance on the WTF (Marc Maron) podcast.
The gig of the week is a covers night?
Blackalicious are playing their first Irish set in ages on Sunday night. That’s my gig of the week.
