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. I got a lot to recommend, so let’s get right into it.


What to Listen to This Weekend

Geese - Getting Killed

Get Vinyl: Ultra Clear | Blue

Happy Geese Release Day to you and yours! I haven’t been this excited for a new album since, well, last week (Wednesday’s Bleeds), but before that it had been a minute. My enthusiasm comes from their 2023 rock epic 3D Country, a wild record that knocked me on my ass — and earned the oh-so-coveted Waxy Award for Best Sophomore Album.
