I had a great time interviewing Ben Ward from Orange Goblin before their show with Clutch on Saturday in Portland. We discussed the need real rock stars, why Black Sabbath is the root of all rock ‘n’ roll and why he hopes Red Fang will give Metallica a good kick up the ass.

I am beside myself with more excitement than I can deal with right now. I am officially going to be covering Desertfest in London for several websites at the end of April and traveling through the UK for two weeks in order to do research on the history of stoner/doom metal. I’ve already been to Palm Desert twice for the same reason, and this is the clear other piece of the puzzle that needs to be explored.

If you are in a stoner/doom/sludge/drone/desert rock/metal (read: rock ‘n’ roll) band of ANY kind in the UK playing or attending Desertfest, or you’re just a band or fan of that nature in the UK, I want to interview you. Submit a question in my ask box and let me know.

I can’t wait to meet all of you!

I interviewed Dustin Hill of Black Pussy about Brant Bjork producing their new album, filling the “rock ‘n’ roll void” and why they’re never, ever going to change their band name.

Vista Chino (ex-members of Kyuss without Josh Homme) just responded to my question on Twitter and I’m squealing like a little girl.

Looks like we can expect an album next summer!

Road trippin’ out to Palm Desert and Joshua Tree today, blasting the first Kyuss record. I’ll be sure to share all of my stoner metal historical finds with you all!

I am officially turning 24 next week and as a quarter-life crisis present to myself, I am taking my perfect new car on a road trip to San Diego to help one of my oldest and best friends move, re-visit my personal Mecca, Palm Desert, and lie on the beach. Then I’m going to New York City for a week to see another old best friend, watch Broadway shows, look at art, and drink up every quirky Manhattan cocktail.

But first I gotta get this writing done and manage my ridiculous amounts of stress.

High five! Break!

“No, all that shit’s wrong—I’m just a dude from the desert.”
