Yoni Wolf is back with a new WHY? album, The Well I Fell Into, out now via Waterlines. WHY? has shapeshifted a lot over the years, from art rock to hip hop to all kinds of uniquely-WHY? stuff in between, and on this album, Yoni says he was “very interested in classic songwriting. I want my songs to be able to be played unadorned by just one person and still hold up. Any production frills should only serve to elevate the song further without being relied upon to tell the story.” The album features contributions from Gia Margaret, Finom’s Macie Stewart, Lala Lala’s Lillie West, Serengeti, and Ada Lea, and there is indeed lots of classic songwriting on this album, but Yoni still finds ways to embrace his trademark eccentricities too.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz‘s beloved purveyor of “swanky vegan comfort food,” Modern Love, has been a Williamburg staple since it opened there in 2016 (there’s also an Omaha location). We were bummed to see, via their Instagram story, that they’re struggling at the moment. They write, “Friends, please come see us soon! We have had a rough summer and are struggling to keep the doors open. We are doing our best work but having a restaurant is tough right now and we could use the support to continue to serve you. Support vegan restaurants or they will cease to exist. That’s the sad truth we are seeing all over the city.”

It’s finally here. After being declared an Olympic sport in 2020, breakdancing has just made its Olympics debut in Paris, and it’s still happening as we speak. (Tune in!) It’s technically called “breaking” at the Olympics, but semantics aside, anyone familar with the B-Boys and B-Girls of the ’80s and ’90s will recognize the moves currently being rocked at this summer’s Olympic games. And to introduce its Olympics debut, they recruited a living hip hop legend, Snoop Dogg:

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.
