Weezer - My Name Is Jonas (The Kitchen Tape)
On May 10, 1994, DGC Records released “Weezer”, the self-titled debut album by Weezer. The story has been told and re-told many times, but the crux of it was that no one thought it would do very well, even though all the band and the band’s small inner circle felt they’d made a really good album. The assumption was that people would say “who?” and laugh at the audacity of a new band putting out a debut album on a major label, with no fan base, no single out, nothing.
And… that’s exactly what happened! For a while anyway. 90 copies sold the first week (just who were the 45 people we *didn’t* know who had bought it knowing nothing about the contents?), and a steady trickle after that, as we drove around in our van playing such illustrious gigs as opening up for a screening of “Rollerball”, playing an actual battle of the bands (and not winning), and playing for less than 0 paying customers (it’s unclear how we got to “-2 sold”, but that’s what the promoter said…)
Finally, after a few months, 107 The End in Seattle started playing “Undone”. Before that only a handful of college stations were even dabbling with the record. Things escalated quickly after that. KROQ Los Angeles added Undone, Undone got a video which MTV played, opening for Lush, lines of kids at the shows, switching from van to bus to keep up with the schedule, opening for Live, Buddy Holly video… and so on - and on, and on!
What else is there to say but thank you for the decades of love and support from all the fans, colleagues, friends and family?
Well, there is something else to say, in fact!
The Blue Album was Weezer‘s first album of course, but it wasn’t their first *attempt* at making an album. Check out this recording of "My Name Is Jonas" from what became known as "The Kitchen Tape", recorded in the summer of 1992 at our home/rehearsal space in West LA. Most of the self produced Kitchen Tape songs have never been officially released, including this song. Happy 30th birthday to the Blue Album! We’re working on a special release to celebrate, but more on that soon. For now, enjoy this, give the blue album a spin today, and we’ll see you on the Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour this fall. #bluealbum #voyagetotheblueplanet #karlscorner

This song deserved a better music video than this.
Lets make this into a polka!
Anyone here in June of 2024…
That's An Awesome Version! Now We Should Do a Mashed Up Mix By Playing Together: "Tears For Fears ft Weezer"
Weird AL must be protected at all costs
Hello Old friend. I miss you.
This is my favorite canible corpse song
I will bring it weezer
Thirty years later, I still love it. I'm an old man now.
IM LITERALLY GOONING
Why does the chorus on this kinda sound like SZNZ: Winter
👏👏 weezer
Oh...and Weezer's good too
I've been an Al fan since the Dimented days of Dr. Dimento, since "Another One Rides the Bus" debuted, and i donned the iconic bib to sing along with "Eat It" and always knew Al was a talented vocalist but this blew me away...this side of Al is scary yet alluring 😊
Two of my favourite bands
And he sat in the right spot
This is actually the most legendary riff of all time. It really was for all time
Ok but is Weird Al singing?
why do people hate weezer for no reason?
my favorite riff from the red hot chili peppers
IM GOING
See you at the tour in IL. Couldn't be more excited to see two groundbreaking 90s bands, Weezer, and Flamming Lips!
Beautiful! ❤
Beautiful... Thanks, Weezer! Love you!🖤
Metallica version 10x better
Keepin' it Weezy, as always

I watched this the first time I tried acid and was bugging because I was like that looks weird Al and my girl was like it is and I was like no it’s not but it looks just like him😭😭😭
