Despite my fuschia arms and nose, I'm starting to look like more like a human again and less like a sweat-drenched, dirty being. Right now, I'm listening to an advanced CD of something that is so freakin' awesome, truly one of our city's top local bands, as the interview I was supposed to do with another L.A. band that I love was pushed back to tomorrow. I'm trying to think of some kind of interesting post for today, but sometimes I'm at a loss.

Anyhow, the new issue of The Rockit streets in two days. It's the first issue featuring yours truly as editor. Part of me is extremely excited and filled with pride over how the issue came together at the dead-on 11th hour. Another part of me, the Catholic-educated part that truly believes that pride will get me in the end, is nervous. Anyhow, if you're in Los Angeles, you can pick it up as of 7/15 at most local record stores, coffee shops, clubs and, I believe, Guitar Center and Sam Ash. I know there are always copies at the Troubadour, so if you're there this weekend, look for it. If you're outside of L.A., you can always read it online. I'll keep the content a secret for now, but there is definitely something for everyone in it.

Also, there is a new issue of Razorcake on the stands featuring my interview with Mad Happy.
