Dukes of Hazzard Confederate Flag Car Crushed by Hurricane Ida
In a bit of karma, one of the infamous General Lee cars from The Dukes of Hazzard was crushed by a tree earlier this week when Hurricane Ida struck John Schneider’s studios in Holden, Louisiana. Apparently, the 61-year-old actor has a whole collection of the Confederate flag-sporting vehicles, and a second one got caught in a tree. Putting on a brave face, The Dukes of Hazzard star shared a cheeky Facebook post about the damage. “Well… When something like this happens you have two choices: Tears and laughter,” wrote Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the 1980s TV series. “I choose laughter. So… What’s your caption? Here’s mine: ‘Miss Ida stopped by to see the General at Miss Shirley’s last night…’” Over the past several years, the 1969 Dodge Charger has rightfully become a cultura...
The Psychedelic Furs Share New Song “Evergreen”: Stream
Last year, The Psychedelic Furs made a worth-the-wait comeback with Made of Rain, their first proper album in almost three decades. Over a year after its release, the post-punk icons are finally hitting the road again; to rev up the excitement around the upcoming Made of Rain tour, The Psychedelic Furs have shared the single “Evergreen.” “Evergreen” is a leftover track from the Made of Rain recording sessions, produced by the band alongside studio wiz David Maurice and Guns ‘n’ Roses’ Richard Fortus. Built atop cocophonus guitars, the song feels right in line with the moody, shoegazey direction the band took on Made of Rain. Vocalist Richard Butler describes it as “a song about memory and the passing of time.” Listen to “Evergreen” below. The Psychedelic Furs’ 2021 tour kicks off this mont...
Slayer Announce Reissues of Metal Blade Catalog, Including Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits
Slayer have announced new reissues of their Metal Blade Records catalog, including vinyl re-pressings of seminal albums such as Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits. They’re due out October 22nd. In addition to the aforementioned albums, the Haunting the Chapel EP and 1984’s Live Undead will also be reissued. Each release will be available in multiple vinyl colorways and on CD and cassette tape. Metal Blade was Slayer’s label home during the band’s early years and played a vital role in proliferating thrash and speed metal in the 1980s. Slayer would go on to sign with Def American and work with producer Rick Rubin for 1986’s groundbreaking Reign in Blood, but for many hardcore fans, the early material remains just as vital.

DJ Shadow is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut album, Endtroducing….., with a new vinyl reissue.
