Hey gang. This will be a truncated version of the Weekender as I am out traveling with family far from Casa de Homicidols. It is also a historic Weekender as it is the first ever composed entirely on mobile. However, after publishing a Saturday digest of alt-idol happenings for 330 consecutive weekends, I feel something of an obligation to ensure that this streak remains unbroken (at least until we hit issue #444 at which point, I believe, Hanako-San murders me in the toilet). So, while my family sleeps in, I will tap out as much as I remember of what happened this week in idol.
First up, a Reminder: SARI’s crowdfunding project ends in a few days, so contribute if you can and haven’t already.

The big news, of course, was BABYMETAL dropping their new album, in full, on streaming services early yesterday morning. Impressions are rolling in worldwide and I have yet to hear anything negative. This coincided with the release of their latest lyric video for prog/djent/groove metal track “Mirror Mirror”.
Fellow world-class unit, RAY, dropped some new music as well.

My apologies for this one being short, but I hear my family waking up, so I have to run.
