“the most violent Weezer album ever.” ?

[Stereogum @stereogum]

Weezer and Wednesday have linked up for a new single. “We Might As Well Be Strangers” is the first taste of Weezer’s latest self-titled, color-themed album, which will be colloquially known as ‘The Gold Album.’

The LP was produced by Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume, a pairing that only exists because Show Me The Body brought them together first, the hardcore band told Stereogum last month. Blume says he wanted to make “the most violent Weezer album ever.”

‘Weezer’ is out 8/21 via Reprise/Warner. Their The Gathering Tour with the Shins and Silversun Pickups kicks off in September.

Imagine being told in 1998 “yah weezer will release 18 more albums”

[weezer @Weezer]

The discovery is complete.

Plated in what surface instruments call gold. It bears the name Weezer.

Its surface is marked by four symbols believed to represent its creators.

The 20th album arrives August 21st.

Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:

"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."

Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.

Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.

It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".

Mitchell Robinson did not sustain his broken pinky in a game or in practice, Mike Brown said. After a follow-up question to Brown about how Robinson actually got hurt, Knicks media relations stepped in to say, "We're not going to get into specifics."
