Weezer - Mexican Fender

New =w=, friends. (🎶 and 👩‍💻 go together like 🏈 and 🍺).

...

She got a bachelor's degree in physics and a job in computer programming

That's pretty cool for a singer in a band so I knew we would end up jamming

Later that night we went to a gig and she asked for some advice

"What do you do with your hands when you're singing, do you just hold onto the mic?"

Happy Friday.

In 25 words Twisting and turning musical movements in three acts: the ascent, the confrontation, and the wistful resolution. As the protagonist attempts to find new sanctuary, the tension does not truly subside. Rating: 🍗 You've got to make a blue sky from a black night...

Best of SXSW: Superlatives 🏆

SXSW has come and gone 👋🏼. We missed many artists we love, but here are some who made the most of their brief stints in Austin.

There's simply no way to see all 12,805,293,647 bands at SXSW. But these were a few of our favorites.

Said The Whale

Listen. Share. Talk. ❤️️

One of our favorite bands opens up about the profound and often silent suffering of miscarriage. This must have taken immeasurable courage, and they've done it in a beautiful, haunting way. Please share.

We put out a new track yesterday...this one's not super easy to talk about, but I sat down and wrote this to help you understand the song:
"Miscarriage is a unique kind of loss in that you're mourning what could have been. It's a lonely kind of loss, because miscarriage is rarely discussed. And it's a loss of control—realizing that the future may not turn out the way you had imagined it. For me this was especially disarming since I didn't realize how much I wanted a child until I was faced with the possibility of never having one. Miscarriage strips the joy from pregnancy and turns it into a source of grief and anxiety.

But whatever sadness and anger I was feeling was only a fraction of what my partner was experiencing. The shame associated with her body not doing what it's 'biologically designed to do,' the loss of control, and the uncertainty about reproductive health-—these things are all devastating. Watching the person you love go through that is heartbreaking, and it took everything I had to comfort her along with trying to comfort myself. I wrote this song in the throes of our experience. It was cathartic and therapeutic, and a lot of tears were shed.

I won't say I'm glad we went through what we did, but I will say that our experience has provided me with a perspective and an empathy that I may not have otherwise had. Our experience also makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth because our story has a happy ending—our third pregnancy was carried to term and our son was born in the summer of 2016."
