Japandroids have shared the second single off their fourth and final album, Fate & Alcohol, following “Chicago,” which we named one of the best punk songs of July and said it’s the raw, no-frills, explosive Japandroids you know and love. The new single is called “D&T” and it’s another stormer. Here’s what vocalist/guitarist Brian King says about this one:

Jack White has been playing a series of last minute, intimate shows (one happens in Nashville tonight) surrounding the release of his new album No Name, and for those waiting for him to announce a traditional tour, they may have a while to wait. He addressed his plan for upcoming shows in a post on Instagram, saying, “we won’t really be announcing dates in advance so much, we will mostly be playing at smalll clubs, back yard fetes, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses. Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible, some shows we won’t even decide to do until that morning.” Read his message in full below.

The announcement of  Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf on the Tree, comes with good news and better news. The good news is that the lead single is Nelson’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” a track that Waits cut with Keith Richards for 2011’s Bad as Me. The better news is that Nelson sings it à la Nelson and doesn’t attempt a gravel-throated Waits impression. Instead, Nelson’s rendition features impressionistic guitar ear candy, a little accordion, and drums that sigh along with Nelson as he sings Waits’ words: “I’m the last leaf on the tree.”Neil Young Returning...

This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, but when Slipknot announced they were going to be out and about celebrating their 25th anniversary, you bet your ass we were going to be there. Especially once we realized they were hitting a venue that’s close to home in the Freedom Mortgage Pavillion in sunny (and totally not dangerous…) Camden, New Jersey.

Actor Jim Nabors was so popular with his portrayal of Gomer Pyle on TV's classic country sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-68), that he was spun off into his own series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. (CBS, 1964-69). But when Nabors left the Griffith series, the void was filled by George Lindsay playing Goober Pyle, Gomer's cousin.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
