Don’t know how the fuck I missed this, but J. Robbins is in a new band called the ‘Channels’. Never mind Mr. Robbins though, Darren Zentek (ex-Kerosene 454) is on drums. They’re going to fucking rule. Now if only Erik Denno would start something new.

While I’m on a music-related tip, I’d just like to say that Pitchforkmedia’s ‘revised’ Top 100 Albums of the 90’s is utter bullshit. No Drive Like Jehu, no Rodan, no Hoover, and yet there’s like four albums by Built to Spill in there and other multiple entries from questionable bands like the Breeders, Massive Attack, etc. What the fucks up with that?

As for how life out here in San Diego is going, it’s all pretty good apart from having my bike stolen from my garage a couple of weeks back that is. I have a new one, but UPS managed to dent the frame and bend a seatstay slightly during transit so I’m awaiting a replacement. All the red tape surrounding this though (UPS having to come and take photos, contact insurance, etc) means it’s taking longer to sort out than I’d originally hoped :/

I have been to Vegas again though, and I spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with Heather and her family who were fantastic and fed me full of good food. Weather out here is still nice too, and sitting looking at the ocean never gets boring. Speaking of which, time for coffee then I’m off to the beach.
