(the) Melvins - Tarantula Heart

[Dumpster D]

Yeah I debate that internally, too. I definitely consider Buzz solo records to be Melvins side projects. I lean towards categorizing the DC solo or any future DC Band records as Melvins side projects. I don't consider Altamont's to be Melvins records, though.

Please enlighten some of the 'guests' reading these posts with some Trivia in relation to Altamont and Acid king... possibly other related bands like Goatsnake too.

I cannot stop listening to the new album.

Damn I wish they would do a three set tour. Set #1: Bad Mood Rising (in full), Set #2: Throbbing Jazz Gristle Funk Hits (in full), Set #3: Tarantula Heart (in full).

I'd like to see that too.

Yeah I'd at least like them to do a tour of only Ipecac recordings. That would allow a GPT track or Five Legged Dog acoustic set. But there's so much underrepresented stuff in their sets.

That is a great review.

Still loving this album.

I cannot wait to see some of this music live!!! Maybe Gary Chester can join them for a tour???

What songs do you think they might play from the record? Personally i'd like to see Working The Ditch and Smiler. But i have a feeling they would go with She's Got Weird Arms. I can just easily imagine them performing that one. It seems like the one they would choose for some reason.

You're probably right. But I could also see them doing two sections of "Pain = Funny" and calling it a day.

First one to sample & loop the drum break of Pain Equals Funny at the 5:30 mark gets first prize

challenge accepted!

Now pop a Schoolly D rap over that break!

not many Schoolly D acapellas available but hope this works for ya. had to speed up the tempo of the vox to fit the BPM of the drum break.

had my first listen finally. good album, probably the most experimental of the recent stuff. some good moments, others a bit meh..it will probably grow on me, for the moment i'd give it a 7/10. to me this and BMR are pretty much at the same level

[Chief Ten Beers]

Working The Ditch is one of the greatest standard-length Melvins songs in years. So fucking great. If we were in the era where there was a need to release a single off this album, this would be "the number one hit with a bullet"!

[black stallion]

on Pain Equals Funny ,part before of the drum break reminds me a bit of HAT (song Foaming).anyone?
