After Screaming Females suddenly broke up, Marissa Paternoster turned her attention to her long-running solo project Noun, which is now officially a duo with drummer/multi-instrumentalist Phillip Price of Kayo Dot and Moor Jewelry. Noun’s first release with their new duo lineup (and Marissa’s first new music since Screaming Females) is the two-song single “WANTED/CONSUMED,” and it’s some of the heaviest music Marissa has ever released. It’s not totally out of left field or anything–Screaming Females have toured with metal bands, Philip also has a metal background, and Marissa’s shredding and riffage has flirted with metal plenty of times, but the full-blown sludge (and little bits of screaming) fueling “WANTED” and “CONSUMED” feels like new territory. They’re also both great songs, and you can listen to them and watch the “WANTED” video below.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
