New Year, Old You. 2025 was bullshit. I think we can all agree. It’s 2026 now, and it’s time to throw the old body over a railing and beat it like musty rug, maybe run it through the washing machine on the heavy-duty cycle in hot water with a half cup of bleach. You don’t need to make resolutions, but maybe it’s a good time to take stock and figure out what needs to be better this year.
Music pick of the week:
Robot – Various Artists – Trojan Dub Box Set (1998)
Stevil – The Forty-Fives – Fight Dirty

Robot, for someone who is basically straightedge you do a lot shit that makes me think you’re high. The plain warm b-hole flavor?!? FFS! The Rize mushroom cocoa is decent basically tasting like shouting the word chocolate across a field of dirt. I zhuzh it with some sugar free cocoa, a skosh of Chobani sugar-free creamer and sometimes a blast of Reddi-wip if I’m feeling special. Does it make one’s life better? Idk, but it’s a pleasant evening treat and nothing seems like it’s getting worse.
Stevil, I don’t personally know the 45’s (nor I am in the band, but that would’ve been kewl). I saw them a couple of times in the late 90s/early 00s and I have a single of theirs somewhere. The Woggles were another killer local garage band with singer Manfred having a longtime show on Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Thanks for the holla as I am always happy to lend my treasure trove of useless knowledge and music ephemera.
