I got some new pictures sent to me from the Louisville, KY show they
are awesome and they are here. I got some
info on some really old demos from 83, if anyone has any more info on this material
or could possibly upload mp3's to put on the mp3 page contact me, here
is the info i have so far. Speaking of the mp3 page i'm slowly uploading the
mp3's again then the page will be back up, most likely by the end of the week.
Apparently Stag has been rereleased over in europe and you can purchase it from
Amazon.co.uk,
it has been out of print in America for some time. You can view a high res scan
of the thrasher interview with the melvins, click here for page 1
and page 2. If
you don't have a high speed connection I wouldn't even bother with it and just
read the interview here.

I received pictures of the San Diego
show and the LA in store show from a good
fellow. Dave posted some pics from the St. Petersburg, FL show here.
Gene found a fellow to host the mp3's hsi brother in law no less so soon the
mp3's will be back up shortly! Tomahawk will be opening for the whole Tool north
american tour so if you want to see them check the tour dates page to see if
they're coming to your area. Also a few more articles were posted in the articles
section of the message board for those of you that enjoy reading those. I think
that's all new mp3 of the week is up, hope you all are getting the chance to
see the melvins this summer if you live in the u.s.
Friday

The mp3 page is down again, and it'll be staying down at that. The
server gene and I were hosting the mp3's on no longer wants to host mp3's. Unless
anyone happens to own a server with plenty of bandwidth and space it probably
won't be put back up, I'll leave the page up for a while for historical purposes
however. Zeke broke up so it looks like
Bad Wizard
will be openign for the Melvins on the dates that Zeke was going to. Lots of
little things to report this week. Got pictures from the Chico, CA show which
you can view here, by the
way feel free to send in any melvins pictures you take. Gene sent in pictures
of the new shirts they're selling at the shows you can view the new additions
to the t-shirts page here.
Gene also took pictures of the 25th LA show you can see those here.
A really funny interview with buzz was sent in which is located here.
I've had alot of interviews sent in lately and i've begun a new section on the
message board to post them so that if in the occurrence the interview is no
longer available on the site it will still be available here.
I don't know how long this will be online but there is a good clip of tomahawk
performing "jockstrap" available here
if you are interested. The Halloween Ipecac Showcase in New York City tickets
have gone on sale go here
for more information. Some really nice pictures from the 2x4 tour that are on
this site already are available in a high resolution form great for desktop
backgrounds here. I don't
know much about this so if anyone has more info feel free to send it in but
some sessions between dale crover and jason newstead formerly of "Metallica"
are being sold on ebay, here's a link.
Monday

Sorry for my tardiness in the posting of the new mp3 of the week,
I just got done with finals. Summer is finally here! I plan on going to both
the Chicago, and Minneapolis shows in July I can't wait. The summer tourdates
have been finalized I beleive, so go to the tour dates page to see where they're
playing near you. According to the ipecac website zeke is no longer opening
for them and ex-girl is instead for most of those dates. There's a new
page that links to about every melvins interview/article on the internet
some that are linked on my page and some that aren't so head over there if you
want something to read. Speaking of articles here's
a brand new one. If you are anxious to hear some live melvins click here,
or if you are even more anxious see
and hear some live melvins. A melvins bootleg cd called Leech
is going for high
prices on ebay, it contains rare songs not on albums which incidentally
just so happen to be available on th mp3 page of this site. I'm going to try
to add the ability to search the site sometime this week because i get emails
regarding questions that are addressed somewhere within this site, but beings
as this site is getting so large it might be hard to find the answers.

Where to begin.... Tomahawk
has been confirmed to be the opening act for Tool's
u.s. tour which begins on July 11th, it's not known how many dates they will
be doing, tomahawk as i hope you all know is the band that Kevin bassist of
the Melvins is also a part of. Someone mentioned that they heard that the 7
7 inches will have cover songs as their b-sides and will come out late summer.
I've had this posted on the multimedia page for a while but it's been recently
discussed in a certain dark alley, you can view the video for Mombius Hibachi
off of the Honky album here.
A good interview with buzz has been posted here,
take heed to everything he says especially his feelings on colossus of destiny.
Gene has uploaded part of the tora tora tora box set here
if you have never heard that before. Anyone interested in info on Isis the band
doing some east coast dates with the Melvins in june can find a little bit here.
If any of you use winamp to play your mp3's such as the current mp3 of the week
Dr. Geek from the recent new years show you can go here
to download a few melvins skins!
Thursday

Ipecac announced a Halloween Bash in New York
City this year which will include the MelvinsFantoms BigBand, Tomahawk, and

regular basis a few midwest dates have been announced with Jucifer.
Got some pictures of the Santa Ana show from last month and those are located
here. A good interview with
buzz is in the message board general melvins discussion, read it here.
Tuesday

To hear an interview with Buzz from 1995 in
real audio format you can go here,
it is extremely funny and worth the listen. I still get numerous emails about
melvins shirts, you can email Tom Flynn
owner of boner records and ask for a "list of what's available" in
which you can get melvins records for much cheaper than your record store including
shipping as well as the old school bullhead melvins t-shirt which is no longer
available from www.midheaven.com.

The May 2002 issue of Stuff magazine has named the Fantomas/Melvins
bigband cd the album of the month! I received lyrics to a few songs including
a couple songs from Hostile Ambient Takeover if you want to check those out
and if you can figure out the other songs go for it and send them in!
Tuersday

more info on it head on over to the discography page. Some pictures from recent
shows have been taken from both the Las
Vegas show, and the Santa

The Mp3 of the week is the first track from
the new years show from 12.31.01(not the bigband show, which by the way ipecac
says is doing really well in sales and is going to be on a billboard chart or
two of some sort). It just so happens to be an unreleased track from H.A.T.
that will be coming out in a little under a week! The
Ipecac.com store has started selling some new years eve t-shirts which featured
the melvins so if you are interested head on over there. They also say that
new Tomahawk and Fantomas albums will be coming out in 2003 and will be finished
up later this fall. Apparently Tomahawk isn't finished touring for the year
either. Also for anyone that is interested in seeing what the official bigband
show is missing the full show has been uploaded in mp3 format here,
thanks to Henrik!

So the Hostile Ambient Takeover tour begun
last night in Las Vegas, if anyone has any pictures that they've taken and want
me to host them on my site feel free to send them to me. Turns out the club
they are playing at in Melbourne The Cherry Club is owned by Billy Walsh from
the Cosmic Psychos
who toured with the Melvins last time they were in Australia. I heard Jucifer
is possibly going to be opening for the Melvins this summer, their website jucifer.com
says it's "coming soon" so here's a link
to listen and buy some of their music if interested. I was sent a link to some
cool melvins posters you can look at those here.
Thursday

So in regard to the FantomasMelvins bigband
cd that came out on tuesday, i noticed when comparing it to my bootleg version
that quite a few tracks were left out and the setlist was rearranged, you can
go here to see what the original
setlist was. www.tooldiscography.com
has put up a "Feature" article on the Melvins, which basically discusses
Tool's relationship with the band, check that out. It was brought to my attention
that the Melvins are a part of the score to a movie called Fast Sofa, information
on that movie can be found here,
i'm not certain of the quality of the movie but there are links to purchase
it on the page and the Melvins are sure to make any movie better!

Ipecac's
web store is open but they don't have any merchandise for the Melvins, but they
do have tomahawk and fantomas shirts. I get alot of emails wondering where to
get melvins shirts online, try www.rocku.com, www.sickinc.com, www.midheaven.com,
and of course ebay. Kevin By posted to the melvins list saying there is an audio
interview featuring Kevin Rutmanis, on a Norwegian website, go here
to listen. It's in asx format so you'll have to have something that plays that
sort of thing... It has some dude talking in norwegian between comments, he's
most likely talking about burning down churches and black metal, (norwegian
joke).
Tuesday

L7's
official website
claims that Dee Plakas a member of that band and Buzz are in the process of
composing a score for the soundtrack of an upcoming, as yet untitled, action
movie, slated to star Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman. I will beleive that
when I see it! I

the melvins were going to play last year that sonic youth was organizing which

Gene and I are trying to raise some money to put up the mp3 page. As most of
you have noticed it's been down for quite some time. I pay 20 dollars a month
to have this website but it limits how much space i can upload to the server
and how much can be downloaded from the server by visitors. Therefore we're
asking for your help in paying for the extra server space and bandwidth to get
this mp3 page back up and have it stay up. Every little bit counts and I know
there's lots of people that want to download these mp3's i get emails daily
asking why they can't download them. Please know that i'm in no way going to
profit from the donations made to help the mp3 page, i just want to make these
rare melvins songs available to you, the fans. Email me at webmaster@themelvins.net
and let me know if you can help.
