Lydon has two witty books, No Irish No Dogs and Anger is an energy, but are there any books out there, either by Buzz or a ghost-writer, we`re talking 200 pages or more book?!
Pretty sure Buzz would sell more books than one can imagine, especially since he has some knowledge about Kurts early days and Nirvana, plus the fact that Melvins is seen as
godfathers of the so-called grunge, although not how the band or their fans view them.

Anaconda put together a tour diary book in pdf form.. that had tour entries by Buzz.
I have a feeling that if Buzz wrote a book we would all known about it, fought over it on ShopOx and then flipped them for a billion dollars by now.

I think if Buzz wrote a book it would open old wounds.
Since he almost always found most rock stars attitudes distasteful.
Plus troubles in the past.
It's beating the dead horse as it were...

I just saw that the author's name is Mark Yarm. Kind of ironic considering he wrote a book about grunge, and must get mistaken a lot for Mark Arm

I read an interview with him where he said his name got him a lot of interviews he most likely wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.

Ah, the old "interviewing the interviewer" routine. Those are great!*

Beats having nothing to add to the conversation :P

makes sense.
I have always hated the Ziggy comic! Especially so after it replaced
Family Circus, and then later Marmaduke in our local newspaper.

I read the comic strips for years. Yes, Ziggy is ultra weak. Remember the Fusco Brothers?

Yeah, Barfy! I drove by Bill Keane's house in the ritzy part of town and they had his signature on a custom made tile on the mailbox. That was awesome! I need to take a picture of it.

I can dig it. Forgot about Barfy. That strip was just too saccharine for me. I just cringe whenever I would read one.
i don't think he would do that
He wrote a biography on Ipecac, it has since changed

The Melvins are family entertainment on another level. Some people say The Melvins are the wave of the future. Some people think The Melvins have already influenced a huge wave of music on a global level but most people expect The Melvins to totally fuck up. Most people think they should be called "The Fucks" because they're fucked.
Well, maybe so, but nonetheless it's the last half of 2006 and The Melvins have a new new NEW album called (A) Senile Animal.
(A) Senile Animal was recorded in Hollywood and as you may or may not know. The Melvins have been through a lot this last year: wars, drugs, impeachment but they never lost sight of what was important AND what was festering in their bowels. Once again the Melvins have "started over" with two, count em TWO, new members, Coady Willis and Jared Warren from the band Big Business. This will be super colossal and totally beyond reason. We can't even believe it's happening but believe it or not it's becoming more and more believable. No shit man! It's like that drug trip I saw in a movie when I was on that drug trip.
And there it is my friends. One thing you can be sure of is this (A) Senile Animal album is really really great and it really works! It's ten songs long and is most likely the best album they or anyone else will put out this year or any previous year or ever probably. They have double everything this time. Double drums. Double, triple and even quadruple vocals, double bass and guitar... Well, not really double bass and guitar but... Well sort of double bass and guitar but in order to explain how that works we would have to get into a lot of technical mumbo jumbo that even we don't understand so let's just leave it at the double drums. DOUBLE DRUMS everybody!
And, AND... The Melvins will hit the road with Big Business in September for a full United States tour. Keep your eyes peeled for the dates in your town or at least a couple of hundred miles from where you live. Take a road trip with your friends and go see the Melvins. Take time off from work, get your tickets and go go go to the show show show. Or shows. You and all your friends should go to as many of the Melvins shows as you can because all sorts of crazy shit will be happening. It will be un-fucking-believable and besides, hell, why not? It will be a kick in the ass!
Well, earlier in 2006 and as usual the seemingly tireless Melvins released yet another brand "new" CD. Big surprise. This time, as a result of their strange work last year in Europe with the famous Trevor Dunn playing bass they've recorded a full length record entitled "Houdini Live: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust", which was released in May. So put down your beer bongs and your crack pipes and dash out and buy two or three copiesÉ or maybe twenty copies just in case. Remember, this isn't bullshit so don't worry.
It would be criminally and morally irresponsible not to get behind, promote and endorse The Melvins with every tool (legal and illegal) possible. Get busy, don't fight it, just do it!
