Oh, how the tables turn, Mr. Cuomo! Weezer, the band that is now a glorified cover band (and seems pretty chill about it) has become the covered. Japanese Breakfast covered “Say It Ain’t So†off the band’s self-titled Blue Album as part of Spotify’s Live at Electric Lady EP series. Past participants in the series include Stephen Colbert’s bandleader, Jon Batiste; Patti Smith; and the Raconteurs. The Raconteurs covered Television’s “Blank Generation.â€
Michelle Zauner and supporting company did renditions of “Be Sweet,†“Kokomo, IN,†and “Boyish,†among other hits. Besides fronting the band, Zauner wrote a memoir called Crying in H Mart, which is being adapted into a film by MGM’s Orion Pictures. Zauner also did the music for video game Sable, which came out in 2021. You can stream the whole Live at Electric Lady EP below.
