As a nice little breather between band series', we decided to take some time to talk Zack and Nolan lore as we comb over our all-time favorite records – Smashing Pumpkins' sprawling epic "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" and Weezer's agoraphobic, problematic masterpiece "Pinkerton".

Other discussion topics include Naruto, Simon and Garfunkel, Zack's trip to the UK, the NBA playoffs, influential music teachers – with plenty of time dedicated to the treasure trove of b-sides from both albums.

Next episode we take on TOOL – stay tuned!

Mellon Collie talk begins @19:40
