Ian already posted the video link, but just to emphasize the fact that if you leave a question about prick in the YouTube comments, Mark will be answering some of them next week.

That warmed my heart. Mark is a seriously sweet guy - as is Dale!

Indeed. Although i do recall Mark saying at the start of these album chats that he would do 3 - Stoner, Stag and Prick. So maybe he doesn't want to talk about Honky or just forgot about that one.

I am hoping for him to do Honky, Singles Club, Alive at the Fucker Club, Tora Tora Tora, Interstellar Overdrive/Electroretard (but I guess that was already covered from the Stag video), The Cowboy 7", Porn 7"
I am also hoping for production ones on Gluey Porch Treatment, Ozma and Rich Kids on LSD - Rock N Roll Nightmare
And one on Clown Alley, touring with SUNN O))) and ALL of his solo music - especially The Silent Treatment and The Blue Bird.
This is SO good! amazing content. Thanks Mark!

At this point i'd much rather hear about those then the old Melvins stuff. I think he should do the Honky one and then leave it as that. Talk more about his own albums.
Mark probably will never talk about it, but I'm curious about his exit from the band, when buzz said it wasn't fun playing with him anymore. Would be interesting to hear marks side.

Ditto.
I think Mark's a little too classy to do a video on that just for content. He's been pretty direct about his firing in interview over the years though, and his story hasn't much changed. Called out of the blue and gave him the boot. Seemed to surprise him. I bet it was more a matter of Mark maybe being less willing to defer to Buzz as the executive mind of the band. Kitchen only big enough for one head chef, so to speak.
there can only be one captain on a ship.
Thanks for posting these, PepsiMike.
I really love this album, but I've always wondered what was going on with these songs, who some of the voices heard are, who the fuck Jeff Thomas was/is, etc. (A little disappointed that he didn't talk about which band member was the Trekkie who laid the Kirk/Spock duel theme over "Chief Ten Beers." :lol:)
Always cool to hear from Mark, but his telling some of the back stories for this one is a real treat. Can't wait to hear about the other albums. Maybe if some of his Patreon donors (*cough* jules *cough* sadcorps) put the squeeze on him, he'll talk about HONKEY!
I would've put money on it being Dale who voiced the pure digital vocal on Pure Digital Silence. That was as revelatory as finding out the last line in Eye Flys is "to be preyed" not "to be freeeee".
My eyes have been opened and I am a new man.
Definitely signed up for his patreon. Absolutely the best content on YouTube

It is the best - today he posted some more of his record collection. It is like the Mark D School of Music there.
Yes! And I'm really impressed by the personal yet universal nature of his writing. That Chuck Berry essay was fascinating! He's had me listening to Chuck all day!
