Studio Sessions Illangelo talks The Weeknds House of Balloons, Drake, and After Hours

There was a little mouse running around the back. So, I left and went back home in December before Christmas to see my family, and thought I was gonna go back into construction. I wasn’t sure I was gonna be able to make a living doing music. After we did those songs and after we had those collaborations, and I knew the music was insane, I went back home and I’m telling my family, “Yeah, it’s crazy. This guy Abel was such a vibe and the project’s called The Weeknd.” Then they asked, “Could it be something?

I would guess they’re also both making around $200,000-$300,000 a season on the show. In fact, it is far more than the average American makes (though the average American is not paying New York City rent or has Carl’s tight-pants budget). When the party moves indoors after hours, it fizzles a bit, but that mostly has to do with Danielle. She sits down with Gabby and asks her if she’s flirting with anyone. Gabby says that everyone acts as if she’s incapable of it.

"She made me feel like I couldn't find a guy and I was like, you know damn well that's not an issue for me," Gabby expressed. "I also found it weird that she thought that was the right approach to kind of like nurture this competition between us." After House lawmakers passed the earlier TikTok legislation in just over a week, many senators called for slowing down deliberations in the upper chamber. Senate Commerce Committee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), whose committee has jurisdiction over the bill, initially expressed concerns about whether the proposal could withstand legal scrutiny and called for hearings. TikTok has blasted lawmakers’ efforts to potentially ban the app as an affront on free speech and disputes lawmakers’ suggestions that it is beholden to China or any government. The move represents one of the most significant threats to the U.S. operations of the wildly popular app, which is used by roughly 170 million Americans, but whose China-based parent company ByteDance has long sparked national security fears in Washington.

Like Tyler, The Creator, who perhaps not-so-coincidentally was blowing up around the same time, Tesfaye’s brash lyrics were very obviously a put-on, no matter how shocking or aspirational they got. To shape its eerie world, songs on House of Balloons sample the likes of Cocteau Twins, Aaliyah, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The mixtape also features two prominent samples from the moody Baltimore indie rock band Beach House. “The Party & The After Party,” which speeds up their 2006 track “Master of None” as a backdrop, is the most satisfying derivative.

I was just like, “Bro, just please bless us with some ad-libs real quick.” All of those things, it’s so quick. When I was asked to edit all that shit, it’s just brilliant, man. And we ended up doing probably about two or three ideas that night.

There's no item limit, other than available inventory. Orders of 24 balloons or greater may be delivered by multiple drivers. The Weeknd also talked a bit about the location during a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone. He explained that he moved into the one-bedroom house on 65 Spencer after dropping out of high school and falling out with his parents in 2007.

Public intrigue in the Weeknd’s dark music has officially lasted a decade. Over the weekend, the once-mysterious chart-topper re-released his 2011 debut mixtape House of Balloons in celebration of its 10th anniversary. It arrived as a reminder of a particular moment in recent history. From the start, the Weeknd was destined to experiment with genre and form. House of Balloons wasn’t even intended to be an R&B project, as it’s often thought of — likely because it was coming from a Black man with a delicate voice. In reality, the mixtape’s architects called heavily upon dream pop and post-punk to lay the groundwork for the Weeknd to become one of popular music’s most successful disruptors.

We were purposefully being like, “Fuck the system.” We were full-on rebels of like, “Fuck everything. We’re releasing this music.” Everyone was just not as experimental with music as what we were doing. I didn’t even think was experimental, but to other people it was.

The Original Balloon Decorating & Delivery Service

The reissue was accompanied by a limited edition line of merchandise designed by architect Daniel Arsham. Carl’s big takeaway from his conversation with Lindz, however, is that she wants to be a stay-at-home mom and that’s why she wants Carl to bring in more money. While I see how Lindsay wants that, I can’t ever imagine that’s what she’ll do. Lindsay is one of those women who quits her job to raise the kids but then can’t find a brand of organic apple sauce she likes so she invents her own, markets it, and then sells it to Nestle for $30 million in four years. She’s a hustler; she likes to work, and she has lots of energy. He’s always struggled professionally since we met him in his More Life days.

It was as obvious a hit as they come, even despite its subject matter. House of Balloons was commercially released as part of the compilation album Trilogy (2012) and included the singles "Wicked Games" and "Twenty Eight", the latter of which is a bonus track. On its tenth anniversary, the original mixtape was released in digital formats, and included samples which failed to gain copyright clearance on Trilogy.

The Weeknd’s never really let up since then. Tesfaye’s now big enough to play Super Bowls and raise a justifiable stink about a Grammys snub. No matter how smitten you were with “What You Need” the first time you heard it, there’s no way you could’ve predicted a fraction of these achievements. There was a lot of that going on in the early 2010s — perhaps no more so than any other era, but all of it seemed to be getting attention. Death Grips made everyone forget that hip-hop had ever previously brushed shoulders with punk, noise, and metal — ditto for Sleigh Bells with regards to pop music. Liturgy and Deafheaven’s radical updates on black metal put the genre in conversation with shoegaze and other “hipster” fare.

The Weeknd must have been genetically engineered by music bloggers. Olson said that the committee will take up the bills for taxes, elections, economic development and workforce development on Monday, with another meeting planned for Tuesday. With less than four weeks remaining in the 2024 session, the agenda was designed to create a smooth road to the finish line by reducing the number of bills that will be heard on the House Floor. “Policymakers have legitimate concerns about Chinese-made apps and reciprocal access to China’s digital market, but they should address those issues through policies that are specific, scalable, and sound,” Castro said in an email to The Post.
