woahoo this looks so much more badass here than it did in the HH picture.
I just took a shot in the dark for my favorite Melvins song becuase there are so many. I picked Queen. I really hope someone from this forum gets this box set - i'm sure we'll have the best replies becuase we're all such fan-nerds. ;)
I had a hard time picking a favorite. Before I picked Hooch, I considered Goggles, Eye Flys, The Bit.
I said colossus of destiny.
Good strategy. COD is Buzz's favorite.
mine was "air breather deep int he arms of etc. etc."
i have always liked this song off honky.
I chose Going Blind off Houdini. It's so different and original. It really emphasizes Buzz's diversity. I'm going to win for sure.

Your are right, but better to have all bases covered.
i picked Skin Horse. hope i win
skin horse is on the list of my favorites. for sure.
I think its definatley going to be a biased pick... Im kind of hoping they give it out to the best writer though.

I'm kinda hoping it's random, I must have hit enter in the middle of my explaination so it was about half done. I went with Your Blessened.
everytime i tried to submit mine the page would refresh and delete it all, it was really annoying. I ended up just writing it all on microsoft word and copy/pasting.

i had that same problem. then i just rushed my answer the 3rd or 4th time and quickly clicked submit. i didn't know it was a timed essay.
I picked Roman Dog Bird.
I can't even decide on a song.. but I think I might go with Hag Me. Or something off Stag.
It's just impossible to pick one single song.
now i regret not choosing pigs of the roman empire or... something off of H.A.T. theres too many melvins songs that are my favorite... i dont have just one... its too ahrd to choose.
Someone pick GGIIBBYY.
maybe its a trick question of some kind...seriously, for a hardcore melvins fan its really really hard to pick A song
They'll probably get their maid to come in and pick from a list of contestants.

:-s
I chose Pure Digital Silence. And explained why to them in a few long paragraphs the sheer complexity about this masterpiece and how it just really brings a calmness to my demeanor everytime I hear it.
pink bat

VILE :shock:
I chose "Specimen."
Guys, please, give me direct link.

Yeah I'm staying mum. I'm feeling good.

is it hag me? i bet it is.
i did Anti-Vermin Seed -- it was that or Pigs of te Roman Empire -- I wanted an esoteric/drone/ambient feel
didn't want to pick a popular song
A popular song? :P
I ended up picking a song that I hadn't really thought of before. It just came to my mind. I knew I couldn't choose one favorite song anyway so I went with something that's not so obvious.. I guess.
i picked "air breather deep in the arms of morphius." i wrote an overwrought treatise of purple prose about how i used to listen to this on the drive back home after working the graveyard shift in the winter and how the song conjured images of the apocalypse.

that's funny. When I listen to that song, I imagine it's the last song being recorded before the world ends. Like they only have a fucking piano and a ribbon crasher.

you bastard! that was my song!
it sounds like you did a better job writing it than I did too.
I just wrote something about me feeling its the melvins pinnacle or something gay.

I hoping Glen will win, because the excitement will bring back the magic to his marriage. "Look honey, I won the Melvins box set, retail value, #90, sentimental value, priceless!' 'Oh honey, that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! Let's celebrate, and forget our petty arguments for the night!' 'Oh, I'm the luckiest guy in the world!!' "SMOOCH!"
I like the way you think bUTTHOLE.
you are a funny motherfucker, you know that?
sick, deranged, weird as shit, but funny.

you don't happen to know if this box set, if consumed, potentially adjusts hormonal and/or chemical levels in the female body, do you?

My wife loves me. She's a kind and gentle. But when I listen Melvins - the magic transforms her in malicious and angry.

it would have been nice if they had provided some sort of criteria on which their selection will be based.
also, i had to re-type mine in from scratch about six times because the fucking page kept automatically reloading.

It said, "we'll pick the one we like the most," so it had to be something that people would like to read.

i didn't have this problem at all. hmmm....
Really...even a little clue would have been good.....way too many songs to choose from
I said the Bit......because its the slowest speedmetal tune ever recorded

WELL?
What kind of clue were you thinking? At first i thought it would be appropriate to pick a song from (A)SA because of the box set but i couldnt bring myself to do it. Otherwise I thought it was pretty fairly done, minus the page refreshing.. But maybe they were just trying to test our problem solving skills as well as our writing skills. :shock:
It's not a question of picking the correct song or their favorite song, it was a matter of writing the best response.
I wrote a 2 pager about time travel that I was hoping would make it by virtue of idiosynchronicity.
I have a hunch Civilized Worm is the winner!!
its two days past the due date... ???
would you believe me if I told you I won?
I would, if you would.
Quote from: norecess on October 17, 2008, 07:15:22 AM

I'll keep that in mind in case I win.
Fuck, I had no idea.........and I had an 8 page essay on why 4 letter woman is an underrated classic all ready to go :(
Who won?
Mitrowski won!!
Whoever wins from here ought to post his or her Melvins musings.

agreed!
i'm getting impatient for the results.
I bet I won.
It seems they aren't going to announce who won. No one from here apparently. The winner probably doesn't even dig em. HA!
in the words of Al Sharpton:
They must announce, or we will denounce.
maybe they just e-mail the winner and consider that announcing??? or maybe they changed their minds and decided to sell it on eBay.
If I don't win - I'll bring an action against them for national discrimination.
well, the website still allows you to submit your favorite melvins song and why, so maybe they forgot all about it or decided its stupid to give a boxset away.
im sure theyve already givin it away....i thought we were supposed to hear by the 15th. prob some a-hole got lucky. now their gonna sell it and make a pretty penny
the website only said to submit your entry by the 15th. Its only the 18th today, maybe they're just slow at looking through the entries. I can't imagine they got very many, but still. You'd think a mass e-mail would go out to everyone that entered or something.
Ohhhhh
I heard someone from vampirefreaks.com won it with a thesis on the song "Leech".
That sucks.'

its not even a Melvins song technically wtf

Although the song is a cover song, I'd consider the Melvins version of the song a Melvins song. But I catch your drift.

A thesis must have taken a lot of writing with all that page refreshing.

That makes me sad. Actually i kind of like the anticipation of waiting becuase it makes me feel like i may have won. Once the winner is announced and it isn't me it'll be worse.

triple U: unfunny, uninspired, unreadable
(straight from the sore-loser's mouth)
but like I said way back. it wasn't going to be a "I like blah, blah, blah becuase its a really great song and it has so much meaning in my life". it was going to be something with some wit. and I guess I am just realizing that wit is a relative thing. relative to who's recieving it.
what a load of horseshit!! Very convenient that they don't say
Kevin the mule works in their warehouse.
I thought you guys were just being all bitchy because you didn't win, but yeah, those did really really suck.
this one made me shake my head the most:
"fav. song is revolve--i was jogging through the local mountains when all of a sudden i had to have a serious movement. no one else was around, so needless to say i dropped me trousers and snapped off a 14" cable(no lie) right there while jammin to revolve. with no t.p. or foilage, i wipped with me sock, and jogged home with one sock. brings back memories....thanks" -Stephen H
Really?
Judging by the honorable mentions, the article was probably just as bad.
those answers were great!!!
Great. Some 14 year old mouthbreather who took 40 seconds to write something retarded won.
Maybe I'm a bit bitter.
Haters!
