L.A. Girlz

Its fourth single, "L.A. Girlz," is yet another reason for me to dread the release of Weezer's now-titled "White Album" that is set to be released April 1. Weezer released the typical drivel, another attempt to recreate the magic the band found on its early albums, and occasionally found on albums like "Hurley" and 2014's "Everything Will Be Alright In the End." It hasn't so far.

Here are a collection of photos I took at sporting events from Feb. 11-16. Enjoy.

Celebrate

"Khalifa" is as advertised, a random collection of Wiz Khalifa songs about smoking weed. It's kind of been every album he's ever made. Bottom line is that if you like Wiz and listening to a smooth, laid back rap album with a lot of weed smoking and laughs, you'll enjoy this. If you don't, you won't. Pretty simple. I enjoyed it, but was far from blown away by any means. "Celebrate" featuring Rico Love was pretty good.

I have 35 photos to share from events from Feb. 5-9.

Every You Every Me

Placebo is one of those underground-type, indie bands from the 90s and early 2000s, and they recently were invited to make an MTV Unplugged album, and I personally think it's fantastic. Some songs do not change too much, but others are completely different, and it's nice to hear.

Many photos to share from events between Feb. 1-2.
