Title: Melvins split with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Post by: jules on February 23, 2011, 04:16:21 PM
Later this year, we'll probably see a 7" split with JSBX with the songs written for the recent Volkswagen commercial (JSBX got the VW deal). Exciting.

When reading the heading possible split out there on the index I thought for one second Big Business was on the verge of being kicked out.

Honky is way more arty leaning toward masterpiece.
Colossus is great while vaccuming.

Didn't they have "Extra Width" and "Mo Width" ?  Either way that's some of their best stuff.. and I think everyone agrees that their best days are well behind them.

Title: Re: Melvins split with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

now I got worry is substantially more gritty and garage-y then orange.  if you like the noisey stuff, and I know you do, you won't be thrilled with orange over now I got worry.
in other words.. if you are a MELVINS fan and you don't like now I got worry then theres probably  no hope for you and JSBX.

yep, the song selection is interesting.  seeing as I hear it 3 times a night at most karaoke bars.

but imagine the timing on that song done by MELVINS.  I think it will work.

theres alot about that song that reminds me of a MELVINS track.

MELVINS usually always twist a cover in a good way.
BUT the last Kiss cover and now this are too straight in a bad way. :(

I wished they would have slowed it down OZMA style instead we get a second place

So are melvins really covering Black Betty for a car commercial or is this some hoax? 

MELVINS didn't record it for a car commercial. jon spencer did.  MELVINS version is just for this split.
Ok I'm relieved but black betty? fucking hell that's scraping the bottom of the barrell.  What's next Freebird, stairway to heaven?

Up next is a sweet cover of "The sign" by Ace of Base.

I unironically like all of these songs.

Buzz is pretty much psychopathically capitalistic, so I don't really understand by what metric he could possibly sell out. He has appeared on the Radio 1 rock show and accepted the BBC's filthy socialist lurcre, maybe that's selling out, I dunno.

Are you fucking kidding me !?  Black Betty is an awesome song with a lot of history...

"Black Betty" is a early 20th century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material;[1] in this case an 18th century marching cadence about a flintlock musket. There are numerous recorded versions, including acapella, folk, and rock arrangements.

...and I'd love to hear the Melvins version in a car commercial. The band would make a lil' bread & it might balance out the "freecredidscore" bullshit band.

Peaked at Orange.    =;  Puhleeze, they peaked at Extra Width.

first of all..  it's MO WIDTH.   second of all... I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually agree with pinkyslim on this one.
:)

I'm just now hearing off these guys and I really like it!  I see they're playing in my area soon and was thinking of going but everyone thinks they peaked years ago.  Do any of you think they're still good live?

If you have never experienced the JSBE you should go!
Their drummer Russell Simmins is astounding.

The proper album was EXTRA WIDTH. Au Go Go in Australia released MO' WIDTH which was a bunch of outtakes from the Extra Width album.
http://www.allmusic.com/album/mo-width-r303365/review (http://www.allmusic.com/album/mo-width-r303365/review)

Anyway, back in the day JSPX were an amazing live band, but had seemed to lose it in recent years. However, I saw them recently when they played ORANGE in its entirety and they were amazing. Interestingly, when they played a bunch of newer stuff for the encore, they seemed to have lost a bit of their power.

Is $25 too much for a split single with mediocre songs on both sides? Yes.  Is it too much for a collectable?  No.

All you are teaching me is that you are too much into buying this bullshit of overinflated value. The eBay price is absolutely no indication of what the retail price should have been. Melvins vinyl is USUALLY expensive on the open aftermarket...you know...that place where MOST of you collectors will have to buy these releases?

It is absolutely too much for a 7" single and the term "collectible" is being applied before it is even released. That's half the problem right there. The fact that people will pay 2 and 3 and even more times what the single retails for is part of the reason the Melvins releases have become so pricey up front. If it were YOUR art, wouldn't YOU want to get the most profit before some douchebag gouged your adoring fans? As a "fan", you just want the item. The resounding opinion out there is that this single was overpriced. Why? Lack of substance.  Fortunately for eBay flippers, Melvins fans don't really care about that and forget that simply playing the waiting game can yield wonderful results and fair (as they can be with such an inflated retail price) prices.

Maybe you will learn that there's a line between collectible and commodity when you've been collecting for more than 5 minutes.

Not fanboyism fuckwad. I just understand what good music is worth. You can go back to whining about "prices" now as if the Melvins owe you or me or anyone anything. It is a simple equation - if you do not want to pay market value, do not buy it, if you cannot afford market value, do not buy it. This is the very reason I do not own many nice things!

Who cares if it is not fairly priced? You can decide not to spend the money dumbass.



I would spend $100 for a Melvins song. You know why? Cuz it is fucking worth it.


You're in luck! I just heard that the next 7" will be one-sided, and cost $100!
Rejoice, oh fanboy, rejoice!

If all you want to do is mock Melvins fans, why don't you just go to the Down forum?

I don't think he is mocking Melvins fans.  I see it as, he's pointing out the stupidity of paying a large amount of money needlessly.   It doesn't take a genius to see how absurd it is to pay more than a few dollars for a single with one song.

Why would anyone pay for any song for that matter? They are FREE all over the internet!

What price is one song worth? You can buy one song on iTunes for a buck!

Not fanboyism fuckwad. I just understand what good music is worth. You can go back to whining about "prices" now as if the Melvins owe you or me or anyone anything. It is a simple equation - if you do not want to pay market value, do not buy it, if you cannot afford market value, do not buy it. This is the very reason I do not own many nice things!

You're completely missing the point and no one suggested the Melvins owed anyone anything.  Typical lowbrow metalhead.

Explain your point then typical highbrow metalhead. To me it seems that you think they have set the price too high? And for that you are complaining? Perhaps you should right their complaints department?

And what is with the "typical lowbrow metalhead" comment? Seriously - you have proven yourself to be a fuckwad - but how have I proven myself to be a "typical lowbrow metalhead"?

It is as simple as this - price too high for you? Don't buy. Price just right? Buy.

here's the point, the Melvins have a job that is making music just as you have a job doing whatever it is you do. they have to pay their rent and bills, just like you do. they feel, and judging by some of the comments on this and other threads it would be true, that people are downloading their music (for whatever bullshit reason people make) thereby stealing money, or if you want to view it as such, their wages, from them. to combat the loss of income at their job they have begun charging more for their products and making it so that you can only get it direct from them, cutting out the middleman, which makes sense.

at your job, how would you feel if your boss told you that your wages are going to go down because people have been stealing from your company? do you go along with it or do you find a new job or new line of work?

as for me, i personally appreciate the fact that the Melvins make awesome music that entertains me to no end. therefore i am more than happy to do my part and support them in their artistic endeavors.

if you don't like the high prices then dont buy it and shut the fuck up. you are not entitled to enjoy other peoples hard work.

in fact, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

I buy a ton of records through mail order. It definitely seems that prices for vinyl are steadily rising, and it's understandable that a band/label might wanna rake in a few extra bucks on some of their releases. I've certainly overpaid for items that perhaps weren't worth the dough I shelled out, but this single is the biggest rip-off I've seen in some time. I don't give a fuck how great a band is....$30 for a 7" is fucking robbery. It might be worth it if it came with a patch, a sticker, a download code, a book of matches, a hanky, used condom, stick of juicy fruit, etc.. ANYTHING! It is a SINGLE folks! The going rate for most singles is $5! And let's not forget...the music included on this single FUCKING SUCKS. A total throw-away track. I'm sure Buzz and the gang are extremely happy to pass this garbage off to all of the fan-boy suckers out there. "Look at all these goons snatching up these thirty dollar singles, yee-haw! Daddy needs a new pair of Mu-mu's!"

No wonder The Melvins are a bunch of fat fucks. Do the math on these singles.

So....if you buy a book that is 100 pages - it should cost exactly the same (or near in price) as another book that is 100 pages? Regardless of the author, regardless of the edition size? How about a painting? Should one 24" x 36" painting cost the same as another 24" x 36" painting regardless of the artist? How about when you buy a single disc DVD? You can get some for $5 and others cost a lot more!! What is up with that?

Simple as this - don't like the price? You don't have to buy it. I love how it always comes back to that!

It is a 7" pressed in an edition of 800 that seems to selling very well at the price it is. Regardless of whether or not YOU think it is worth it isn't changing the minds of the people that bought it or the people selling it. I am SURE the Melvins are laughing all the way to the bank with their MILLIONS of dollars they are making on this 7"! I am sure of it!!!!

Well, you see at this rate you would have to pay ME to see your "comedy". Other comedians are indeed worth $100 to see, whereas you are correct - $10-15 is the going rate. So you see - there is a difference in quality (not just quantity).

Salivating cock-holster is cute. Keep em coming and you might get to the point where I would pay you a couple of bucks for your "comedy act".

pulsating
gyrating
throbbing
leaking
stinking

2nd word)
puss
milk
tit
nipple

3rd word)

pooch

You have no idea what market value is. Market value did not make the price for this 7'' inch 25.00. Revenue replacement dictated the price. True underlying value for this is not $25.oo

I'd pay about $5 tops for this single, with shipping. Black Betty? #-o Pretty much a dozen stoner-rock bands have covered this song. I can't remember who covered it, but someone did it on the first Small Stone "Sucking The '70s" compilation. What's next, a BTO cover? :lol:
