In the words of gifted seer and internet also-ran Rebecca Black (hey, five months ago is like an entire decade in World Wide Web time), “Yesterday was Thursday (Thursday)/Today i-is Friday (Friday)/We we we so excited/We so excited/Because a new Weeknd mixtape dropped yesterday.” For real guys, those are the words. You don’t remember it like that? Well I can’t tooootally blame you… five months is a long time to remember an internet meme. I mean, you barely even remember that YouTube video about the leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama now do you? Cough! PHILISTINE. Whoa, what was that? Nah, I didn’t say anything, there was something in my throat. Sorry.
Anyway, the Weeknd mixtape prophesied by that mellifluous Nostradamus of the new millennium did in fact materialize on the interwebs yesterday, and it’s called (drum roll, please)… Thursday. Yeah, everybody likes Thursday! The elusive Toronto mixmaster’s website was down for awhile yesterday, but everything seems to have returned to normal and the mix is once again available for download. So, dear designer-drug-loving-dance-crazed reader, go ahead! Suit up in your finest gold lamé, bring out the glass table, and get ready to shake it till ya break it, because just in time for the weekend, The Weeknd is back. And watch this space — a third Weeknd mixtape, Echoes of Silence, is rumored to be in the works for a fall release.
