Yesterday I woke up in Jersey. Last night I went to bed in Connecticut. Tonight I’m going to sleep in Maryland after waking up in Connecticut and subsequently having to report to work in Jersey. Nothing like the holidays, my friends, and nothing to do but have a little “Wine Cooler Blowout” with The J.J. Paradise Players Club.

This is the title-track from their 2001 album, and if user names are anything to go by, it was uploaded to YouTube by the forum’s very own dong ytown about two years ago, so a late thanks for that. The band, whose name was later shortened to just Players Club and who were fronted by Dave Curran (Unsane, now Pigs), is unfortunately defunct, but they were killer right up to the end with the last EP, Coextinction, which by I’m sure no small coincidence is the name of the label in which Curran is now partnered with James Paradise (also Players Club and Pigs), Andrew Schneidor (Pigs) and Chris Spencer (Unsane). It’s one big noise rock family: just the way it should be.

Because I’m so far behind (somehow it’s like I lost a whole day this week — can you imagine?), I’ll be posting tomorrow. The plan is to have my Six Dumb Questions interview with Wiht up in the afternoon, and some news about Electric Magma‘s new vinyl, and a Buried Treasure post about my own Black Friday adventures early this morning. I would have loved to have gotten all that stuff up today — as was my initial plan — but between travel time and a busted computer at work, it just wasn’t in the cards. So onto tomorrow’s to-do list it all goes.

Still, for the sake of habit, it seemed appropriate to wrap up the week. I talked to Ken-E Bones of Negative Reaction today for an interview that will be posted sometime in the coming weeks, and on Monday I’m slated to have a chat with former Trouble vocalist Eric Wagner about his new project Blackfinger, leaving his longtime bandmates behind, etc., so that will be fun. I’ll also have that Elder interview that I’ve now been unable to post for two weeks in a row, or so help me it’s right in the river I go.

There’ll also be the usual insane amount of reviews and news postings, whathaveyou and so forth, so stay tuned for good stuff yet to come. By the end of the week we’ll wrap the month and give the numbers (I haven’t looked yet), and I’m sure we’ll find room in there to sneak some music up as well.

If you’re in the US, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and wherever you are, I wish you a fantastic and safe weekend, as always. See you on the forum and back here tomorrow.
