German psych rockers Samsara Blues Experiment are going to be touring Central Europe with Yawning Man, including a slot at the Stoned from the Underground fest. More info on that at the band’s MySpace, where you can also hear all of their debut full-length, Long-Distance Trip, streaming free of charge (the player is in the “Sounds Like” section — also on Lastfm.com). The above video for “For the Lost Souls” was shot on their US West Coast tour, and it looks like everyone was having a good time.

So that’s nice.

Well, it was a rough week here in the valley. Been sick for pretty much all of it, hits have been down, and I’m generally feeling bitter and out of sorts. A nice conversation with Gozu‘s Marc Gaffney was a well-needed pick-me-up this afternoon, and that interview will be up in a week or two. Beyond that, however, I’m about ready to cover my head with a pillow and move as little as possible for at least the next 24 hours.

That said, I’ll be at Eyehategod tomorrow night in Brooklyn. If you want to catch me, I’ll be the fat guy in sandals dragging around an I.V. loaded with DayQuil. Or maybe just the fat guy in sandals. Hard to tell how these things will pan out. Say hi either way and I promise I’ll do my very best not to be a prick.

If you’re reading, thanks for reading. If not, I hope whatever you’re doing instead is fun too. Enjoy the weekend.
