Lexi’s Weekly Lowdown: Week of 2/13-2/17

Record Store Day 2023 releases have been announced!

Super excited for so many of these bands making the list this year.

Some highlights:

The 1975- They band has teamed up with the full BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for new renditions of their second album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of it. The record will be a clear vinyl, and will even have a special version of their song “Chocolate”. The 1975 is also this year’s Record Store Day UK Ambassadors for 2023.

The Black Keys- They are taking us way back to 2002. But not only that, this was the first time the band has ever performed live! The vinyl will be a full recording from their first show Live at Beachland Tavern, which took place on March 31, 2002.

The Cranberries- This is the first time we have ever seen Wake Up and Smell the Coffee on vinyl. Back in 2001, this record sold over 1,000,000 copies within its first year.

What will you be picking up?


In The Headlines:

Front man of alternative rock band by day, music composer for your friendly neighborhood Spiderman by night.

Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump makes his first appearance on Marvel’s Spidey And His Amazing Friends on Disney Junior. Stump has been working with the show for years. He first wrote the theme song for the show back in 2021 and also wrote a new song air this week called “Watch Out”. You can also catch Stump this week playing “The Announcer”. I would say this is a great introduction to your kids becoming a Fall Out Boy fan early!
