Poor Matt Sharpe, clearly part of what made Weezer Weezer, but alas...

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!

Cool! Wasnโt aware of this track. Definitely hear the influences on weezer
yeah, Matt Sharp was in Weezer, he was their OG bassist, but left the band over creative differences with Cuomo and started The Rentals. Had this super hipster minor hit and poof - that was it.
He was on the blue album yeah? Still the best record imo
I think blue and pinkerton? def blue.
@ren @BobbyBandwidth
Definitely Blue, but I quite liked Red too. Don't know Pinkerton that well. Guess I should have another listen.
yeah, Pinkerton is some good emo longing music right there.
Maladroit, while often forgotten, is a fave of mine too. As for Red, I prefer my alternate universe version where I drop the songs sung by the other members, get the Rivers-led songs & b-sides, then build a playlist of those songs.
