After a solid six and a half hours of traffic hell driving — mostly in and out of the same rainstorm headed northeast — The Patient Mrs. and I are finally in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where we’ll be staying until Sunday for a friend’s wedding. Well, it’s one of her friends, anyway. I’m anticipating a maximum amount of social awkwardness on America’s own little fjord, but you do what you have to do, and I’ve only ever been to one dry wedding in my life, so there’s always that, plus hopefully some record shopping on the way back to Jersey whenever we finally leave.
It was a hell of a ride here though, I-195 flooded out in parts and whatnot. Acrimony, who you can hear in the clip above, was one of the bands that I brought along for the trip, which was also long enough so that I could hear both the Yankees lose and the Red Sox win on the radio. Whoever the Boston announcer is called it “Title Town, USA.” I guess they’re really feeling that Bruins victory up here. Good to know.
Stick around next week, when I’ll be counting down the Top Five of the First Half (TFFH) of 2011. It’s always a good time, and I did some work this week putting it together. I think I’ve got it nailed down, though honestly, both Elvis Deluxe and The Book of Knots, which were reviewed this week (here and here) could easily make the cut. These things are all about impulse anyway. Whatever, it’ll be fun.
I’ll have a long overdue review of Michigan rockers Mean Mother too, as well as my interview with Stevie Floyd of Dark Castle, which was awesome. And first or second thing Monday, I’ll have a track premiere of a new song from Swedish rockers The Quill. Their first album in half a decade is coming up for release, and the tune is definitely worth hearing, so yeah. Good stuff to come.
Hope you have a safe, enjoyable weekend. I’m gonna go make sure no spambots registered for the forum, then get to bed. Cheers.
