Weekend Whats

+ What to Read: Longform has “a collection of picks to help remember a time you might rather forget.” The Longform Guide to High School.
+ What to Stream: Royal Blood is one of the best newish rock bands to hit the scene. The band is made up of only two members, a drummer, and a singer who has totally rewritten the rules when it comes to playing the bass. Here they are playing Figure it Out in a live studio session. Check out this song called Come on Over. And here’s the breakout performance that really launched the band in Glastonbury.
+ What to Doc: Now that Cleveland finally has a championship team, it’s the perfect time to look back at the many past heartbreaks that made this NBA season mean so much. Check out Believeland on Netflix.
