Title: A giant Melvins interview and the last one of 2023!
Post by: johnnyg on December 31, 2023, 11:03:47 AM
I got to interview the Melvins about their 40th anniversary! It's a pretty long read, but I got it in before the Buzzer!

"..and I try not to read any chat boards" says Steven.

I really have to wonder, which board would that be in particular?

:P :P :P

Thanks for posting the interview! This one seems to dive into Buzzo's psyche a little bit further than most. Would've liked to have heard more about what's in store for 2024, but all in all, a solid retrospective of their 40 years. Well done!

I noticed several obscure references to music and bands and insider fan knowledge applied to some of the writing in this piece on first read.

very nice, but have you ever considered hyping an interview and taking 13.5 years to release it?  :buzz:

To list some things in this article that to me, reference bands, music, albums, or songs at a quick glance:

'Sonic-attack' = Hawkwind reference

'corkscrew hair' = T-Rex lyric reference ("I ain't no square with my Corkscrew hair")

'Buzz especially seems to 'kick against' those notions' = Patto ' I saw The man' reference (At least to me)

Ghost that 'Emanates' ( from under )  sounds like a 'Hag me' lyric reference.

The word 'Indeed' to me is a subtle, inside reference to that one WMPG 99 Radio interview.



Also...

'Filling Crover's stool' Sounded like taking a dump in his speedo, He smells great too, for an Alien.  :lol:

Great review/interview.
