Weezer “Take On Me”

On the Weezer appreciation scale, I’m at the end next to Leslie Jones’ character in the infamous SNL dinner time fight skit. I appreciated the first two albums, went to see them on those tours and then they lost me after their return from hiatus. However, I do consider them to be an amazing cover band. Their “Teal Album” of takes on the classics brings me joy. I especially like how the vocals are handled on “Take On Me.”

The video stars Finn Wolfhard as a young Rivers Cuomo, rocking out in his living room. It’s chock full of clever 80’s nostalgia and also manages to fit in a proper homage to the animation from the original video.

Matter Refounded and Rebounded

I love the read-it-later tool Matter, but it seems like it's no longer an active project getting updates. The Matter Obsidian plugin makes my startup time somewhere from 30-60 seconds and it hasn't been touched in 2 years. Readwise, meanwhile, just updated their plugin this week.
