The record
Title: Weezer – Pinkerton
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1996, Rock, Alternative Rock, Los Angeles, CA
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Media Narrative: The initial backlash hit Rivers Cuomo hard—he treated it like public humiliation, went silent, and rebuilt Weezer’s image around “safer” distance.
-
Studio Lore: Tracked at Electric Lady with Cuomo’s vocals kept deliberately raw; some parts were chosen for discomfort, not polish, which made later critics call it “too honest.”
-
Family Ties: Cuomo’s classical training and strict early music upbringing show up indirectly—he wrote like a student dissecting his own life, turning confession into structure.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
