Karl's Corner - 10/06/2025

weezer When a band puts a song out into the world, there’s no telling whether it will soar or wither. “Island In The Sun”, which started its life as a very simple demo in weezer’s ‘no mans land’ of 1999, later worked up in the studio for “Green”, wasn’t as big a hit as its predecessor, Hash Pipe. But it soon made a bigger and bigger impact in Europe and started to show up in the US all over the place by 2002. Since then it’s only spread further, and has become an absolutely cherished essential in the band’s live set. And now a wild milestone has been reached, where“Island” had hit 1 BILLION streams on @Spotify! If that doesn’t show how far that simple little demo has come, nothing does! #IslandInTheSun #weezerwiththeanimals #karlscorner
