Andrew Bird - Dr. Stringz

The headline of this post was taken from a conversation I had with my 5 year old nephew about 5 minutes ago. Here I am on a Friday night, updating the website while babysitting the sister’s kid. He’s watching Nick Jr. and eating fruitsnacks and was pretending to watch Nick Jr. too, but only paying attention to about 10% of this show with these puppets that isn’t Sesame Street or Fraggle Rock or the Continue reading Hey That’s Andrew Bird! “No it’s not! It’s Dr. Stringz!”…

Band To Watch: Sunglasses - Whiplash

8000 bam bam (Samuel Cooper) & Baby Seal (Brady Keehn) first started working together at Savannah College of Art and Design during the post production stage of Samuel’s senior thesis film, MILES. Their relationship was strictly dealing with dialogue and the mixing of original songs for the short film, in which Brady was the Post Sound Supervisor. Eventually having completed MILES, the two had worked so well together on the last project that starting a new one only made sense. Thus SUNGLASSES was born. These dudes totally remind us of one of Aunt Dracula who were one of our most favoritist Fantastic Picks from like 2009 or 2008. Definitely not the same dudes, but definitely the same level of Continue reading Band To Watch: Sunglasses – Whiplash…

We at the weapon definitely dig Warpaint, and we’re also pretty stoked to hear that we’re gonna get to see ‘em with Yeasayer next month.

Flashback: The Stone Roses - Standing Here

The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1984.

Dirty, Rotten, Scandalous: Dope Boy Allstars

The fuck is a dope boy allstar? Ehhh urban dictionary likes to give the following definition: A Dope Boy All Star is any person who distributes illicit substances. The term is most often used to describe a young male that excels at selling to a specific geographic area or neighbourhood, and most likely moves hard drugs (ex. cocaine, crack), as well as the standard marijuana and prescription pills. A ‘Dope Boy All Star’ IS the hood Continue reading Dirty, Rotten, Scandalous: Dope Boy Allstars…

Old News is Good News: New Beach House & New Yeasayer in 2010

You’ve all heard both of these songs already, and we probably woulda posted them ages ago had it not been for STUPID *****host breaking our FREAKING servers every other day. Thanks a lot, hosting service, for sucking ass and making us fall behind on like, everything. Ugh. Anyway, Beach House and Yeasayer are 2 of our very favorite current artists here at the weapon and they’re both gearing up for new releases in early 2010.

Flashback: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD

Until pretty recently I had no idea what “ABC BBD” actually meant. I’m not sure where the epiphany came from but it came just the same, so enter another (late) version of the Flashback Friday post, featuring The East Coast Family. Howcome nothing sounds like this anymore? Happy Continue reading Flashback: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD…

Obligatory Holiday Post

This video was made over two days on a zero budget by this band called Burning Hank. We think it’s pretty good. Check them out on bandcamp and if you dig ‘em visit their myspace for more tunes. I feel kinda bad cause I feel like these guys deserve more than a mention in a post. Hopefully they’ll throw us more goodies in 2010 so we can do them Continue reading Obligatory Holiday Post…

Flashback: Shel Silverstein on The Johnny Cash Show

But I betchya didn’t know he put out music. I did. My friend’s dad had the LP when we were in Junior High but I ignored it cause I didn’t want to ruin my childhood memories. Haha. Or something. But we listened to it. A lot of it was about getting stoned and drinking. Kinda seemed odd to me when I was 13 – like, what a creep, you know? But it’s not like it’s been in my mind for 10 years. I probably haven’t thought about it since, until I bumped into the sweetest video ever on Continue reading Flashback: Shel Silverstein on The Johnny Cash Show…
