My favorite band, Japandroids, which has been on hiatus since around 2018, just announced their new album, Fate & Alcohol, will be released on October 18, 2024. They dropped the first single as well, “Chicago,” a title I wholly approve.

But they also took the occasion of this album announcement to say that this will be the final album from Japandroids.

Whaaaaa!?!?

C’mon, guys! There’s only two of you! Are you really saying you’re never gonna work together again?? That can’t be!

Just getting together and drinking some beer and noodling on drums and guitar would constitute a band session! For that to never happen again implies you two can’t stand each other. And you just finished an album together so that can’t be the case.

Let’s just take some time and think this through rationally. Come back after we’ve cooled off a bit.

Can we?

Please?

And, no, the irony of using an infamous Darth Vader “Noooo” is not lost on me given Vader was played physically by David Prowse and the Japandroids’ drummer, at left in the photo above, is also named David Prowse.

Weather, deux…

Well, Mother Nature heeded one of my wishes, but not the rest. With the second night of thunderstorms in as many nights, we still had flooding, hail, and tornadoes. Just no earthquakes. Oh, and none of these storms have resulted...

Timing…

A little late to the game, aren't we, Time? Sheesh. You don’t report on how to survive a tornado after it has already started and is in full swing. Timing is clearly not Time’s forte.

I was wondering where they had gone to. Good to hear they are coming back with a new album. But sad to hear it will be their last.

It’s just brutal news.
