Featured article: OK Crypto

OK Crypto was a Weezer marketing campaign by Crush Music announced on April 22, 2021 in promotion of OK Human. It involved the sale of a limited quantity of NFTs, a form of "digital collectible" briefly popularized during the early 2020s. Among the collectibles sold were 12 random "ultra rare" NFTs which could be destroyed in exchange for a one-of-one physical toy by Death by Toys.

The campaign was heavily criticized by fans, citing the environmental and social concerns associated with NFTs. Ultimately, although the collection sold out quickly, only nine of the available 12 "ultra rare" NFTs were unpacked and only two were burned to redeem the associated physical toys.

Featured song: "Sheila Can Do It"

"Sheila Can Do It" (likely originally titled "Rachel"; sometimes rendered as "Sheila Can Do (It)") is the eighth track from Van Weezer. It was originally written by Rivers Cuomo in early 1996.

"Sheila Can Do It" was written early in 1996 during Cuomo's time spent at Harvard University. Cuomo's handwritten lyrics for the song (under the title "Rachel") are dated February 22. The song, along with "Sunshine O", was notably written around the same time as Pinkerton tracks "Across the Sea", "The Good Life", "Falling For You", and "Butterfly". In a 2020 entry on the Riverpedia section of Cuomo's personal website, Cuomo confirmed that the song was partially inspired by Rachel Haden. The song never appeared on an album, but was performed at Homie shows in 1997, and rehearsed for the intended (albeit scrapped) Homie album.

Featured quote: Patrick Wilson on Pinkerton, May 24, 2001.

Pinkerton is like... I think it's more arty. The arrangements on that record were crazy, but cool. But from a playing standpoint... oh, I don't know what Pinkerton was! But I think it's probably the record people are going to be into ten years from now, more than the Blue record.
