The Weekender #28: Now That's What I Call Curation!
What I’m digging right now: albums, playlists, movies, shows, and books worth your time.
Welcome to The Wax Museum’s monthly exhibit The Weekender, your curated dose of must-hear records, must-watch gems, and must-read pieces to give your weekend a sensory upgrade.
In a world drowning in AI slop and algorithmic noise, curators are the last line of defense, digging for the good stuff that actually moves you.
Before we dive in, this is where I gently shake the donation jar. A $5 contribution unlocks full archive access and gets you a $10 coupon to our Gift Shop — maybe the sign you needed to finally grab one of our sweet Weekender bags.
What to Listen to This Weekend
Racing Mount Pleasant - Racing Mount Pleasant
Get Vinyl: Burgundy (sold out) | Black
This spot is usually reserved for my favorite Friday release, which I was expecting to be a tough battle between Boston indie rockers Pile and Tallahassee emo band Pool Kids, both with strong albums worth your time. But then I pressed play on Racing Mount Pleasant, the eponymous debut from the Michigan-based seven-piece, and it knocked me sideways.
