Weezer and Trent Reznor celebrate NASA's Jupiter mission through song

On July 4, NASA’s Juno mission will enter orbit around Jupiter to collect unprecedented amounts of information about the planet. 90s alt-rock titans Weezer and Trent Reznor have commemorated the mission in song.
The two artists take almost polar-opposite approaches. Reznor teams with Atticus Ross, with whom Reznor won an Oscar in 2011 for their The Social Network score. The result is an atmospheric instrumental reminiscent of Brian Eno’s ‘Deep Blue Day’.
With ‘I Love the USA’, Weezer pours on the unapologetic cheesiness: Rivers Cuomo proclaims “fuck yeah this place is great” over a power-ballad track. It’s the type of track Lee Greenwood might make if he were an alt-rocker.
