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!

TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES!
