Christmas with Weezer in Bloomington, MN

Even after 15 years, the original kings of punky pop still have a couple of tricks up their collective sleeve. Who would have suspected that a terminally tongue-in-cheek band like Weezer would ever offer up a straight-ahead Christmas record? Well, that's exactly what they've done--the CHRISTMAS WITH WEEZER EP finds the band delivering completely unironic versions of holiday classics like "Silent Night" and "The First Noel," albeit rocked up with the usual Weezer approach, so you won't think you've wandered into a Bing Crosby album by mistake or anything.
