Subraum single for less than a fiver (Germany)

Is that completist only, or was there some redeeming quality to the exclusive live versions? I seem to remember hearing it once and thinking these were barely bootleg quality and not very interesting. But maybe I'm confused.

Dumpster D tearing up the bass!

 

That's just awesome!

This sounds a lot like 'And Justice For Jason'

Yep, I love the original art and I really dig the new art. If there's another round this weekend I'll consider it, just for show. It might be the most memorable title in the catalog, vying with Prick, Houdini, and Eggnog.

These versions of "The Bloat" and "Mombius Hibachi" are pretty good. Even in a world where I have a turntable set up on the reg I doubt that I'd play something other the CD on the occasions I do return to it.

Beautiful.

Great rendition. One of my favorite later era Melvins tracks. I like hearing anything after ASA covered or some rarities. Bullhead->Stag don't really need any covers.

Sabbath was probably the best -sounding- of the spare of collab EPs. But the raw feel most of them have really suits the Melvins/Mudhoney EP.

I would love a full length record like this.

Track 2 may be the second "original" Buzz song for the Melvins released since 2017, when "Prenup Butter" appeared on PAT. This has a similar feel. I dig it.

Shit, that Satyricon vid was great. Wish I'd caught shows in the Lorax (or Mark or Kevin) years.

Wonder if Lorax influenced Buzz's mumu wardrobe.

So JFK, your contribution was to do a hardcore punksong from1983 in the style of sludge Melvins for the tribute? That's maybe the most metaMelvins tribute imaginable. Kudos. I really enjoyed the track. (Please don't spam it to five other threads!)

Sounds a lot like what Joyful Noise does, right?

I'm assuming it would be an Amrep thing for the Melvins.

This would still benefit the flippers unless there was some control over ongoing access for resellers. I don't think Buzz or Haze really has too much incentive to take this on as long as the damn things keep buying at these prices.

For myself, I've never resold a piece of Melvins merch. But a few of the collectors I've bought from probably never meant to either, until the time comes when you need that liquidity. I would t want to be prevented from reselling if I chose to.

There's been a pretty nebulous distinction between albums and EPs even before this. Lysol is still sometimes considered an EP. POTRE really only has five or six songs even though it's album length. Maggot and PAT are only eight songs. Fucker Club and Electroretard also feel more EP than album.

I really enjoyed AWWLD and I'm duly waiting for a proper follow up album from the trio. I really hope that happens again. For CD collectors, Ipecac is the best quality and most reliable distribution. I don't doubt there's some original non-collab work that's ready to be an album and get its own tour.

Are you counting reissues? I know of five.

Al Sabbath
Flipper
Shitkid
Mudhoney
Redd Kross (CD should have included the Steven Shane McDonald EP in liue of the Redd Kross vinyl tracks!)

Then Buzz released the solo EP, that's six. What're the other two?

Can't wait to see what monster letterpress limited version becomes available from Mackie in 2021.
