Today, I have a pair of tickets to give away for the December 5th, 2012 Japandroids show at Webster Hall in New York City. The person who posts the funniest picture involving a cat wins the pair.

Japandroids' Celebration Rock has been heralded around these parts lately, and Make Do and Mend's Everything You Ever Loved is highly anticipated as its June 19 release date comes nearer. I'll be chatting with both bands this week, so feel free to leave any questions you want to ask them in the replies!

Japandroids played on Jimmy Fallon last night, and you know, they were awesome. Watch them play "Fire's Highway" here and "The House That Heaven Built" (this one wasn't shown on TV) here.

If you haven't picked up Japandroids new album Celebration Rock yet -- I highly recommend you check it out. It's streaming in the replies, and on Rdio and Spotify. I know Blake already reviewed it, but I need to call more attention to this gem. One helluva great album ... exactly the perfect blend of punk and sing-a-long choruses. Exactly what I need right now. Don't miss "Fire's Highway" or "The House that Heaven Built" -- but the album works best as a whole, and it works best turned up very, very loud.
