excellent!

Do we have any idea whatsoever what is actually on this split yet? New songs from both???


Edit. Ah i found this bit of info.

Melvins and Flipper will be releasing an EP called Hot Fish. They recently revealed that the EP will be a collaborative release (as opposed to a split EP) and will be out via Amphetamine Reptile. It appears the release will have four tracks. Two of the confirmed tracks are "Hot Fish" and what is most likely a re-cut of the Flipper classic "Sacrifice," which the Melvins previously covered on the Lysol album.

flipper blues.... @pinky 

[))))((((]

So im guessing that 'Hot Fish' is a new Flipper song and the other three tracks are just reworkings of the old songs. All with Melvins incorporated of course.

An alcoholic band, for alcoholics.

Semi-related question... Were Flipper doing "Someday" live in the years prior to their American Grafishy album or something? Since that album with the song on it came out in 1993, but all the dates I can find for the Melvins' Love Canal/Someday EP are like, 1990-1991 era. It's not significant or anything but that always made me wonder what kind of inside knowledge Buzz had, or if he simply listened to live bootlegs or something.

Good question. Someday was released as a single in 1990, 'Someday/Distant Illusion'.
