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 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: "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here"


"The World Has Turned And Left Me Here" is the third track on the Blue Album released in 1994. The song was written by Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson before Weezer formed. According to Cuomo, "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here is about the day my girlfriend left me. I remember that sad day; I picked up my guitar and spilled tears of grief over those four sad chords." The song was also a difficulty to record during the Blue Album sessions in fall 1993, according to Karl Koch, Cuomo couldn't settle on the song's guitar solo, and was holed up in a corner of the Electric Lady studio "laying on his back... with his guitar perched on his chest, his legs squished up the walls," discouraged with writer's block. Producer Ric Ocasek eventually helped prompt him into completing it, however, when he "hummed a little melody over the talkback mic" and suggested "something like da-dada-dee-dee-dee.

RIP Ric Ocasek

Ric Ocasek, who produced Weezer's first, third, and ninth studio albums, has passed away at age 75. Weezer owes much of their success to his artistry, guidance, and influence. He will be dearly missed.
