Dreams and the Supernatural
I know it's late, but it's high time we get everyone on the same page for the upcoming year in Big Business.
Right now I am sitting in a recording studio in Hollywood as Jared is doubling his bass parts on a new Melvins record. Check out the photos in our photos. It has a name, and we'll be spilling the beans on that one shortly. Everything seems to be going as planned, so expect some freaky deep cuts on this one. Toshi Kasai is at the control thing, doing stuff you and I probably will never understand. Dale is starting a fire outside, signaling the first bbq of the year is about to be underway. Once this is wrapped up, The Biz will be finishing up our latest batch of songs and hopefully recording this spring. Our touring schedule for the year is still being figured out, but we know this: the Melvins and Big Business are touring Europe in the fall. We'll post more info as it comes in. We have high hopes that some special plans we've been planning for years will come to fruition in 2008. Come fly with us.

That sounds very nice. "It" has a name. Big Biz will be recording. Europe tour in fall. Can't wait.
Awesomely awesome.
I'm liking the "freaky deep cuts" statement.
also the fact that theres been multiple recording sessions. it bodes well.
(A)SA was a 2 week, one time recording session. great album but nothing overly "freaky" or "deep" on it. multiple recording sessions lends me to believe the next album will be more... epic?
but europe in the fall?? this might break my streak of MELVINS shows in the late september/early october three years and running. this I don't like.
glad for you europeans. but I'm a selfish fuck, give me another US tour. (and another, and another, and another.....)
Im hoping they make it to Canada, Australia, and Japan, cause im not a selfish fuck *
bullshit
I'm not sure what their touring routine was before I got into them, even though I could look it up at the Wiki, but I saw them in 2003 and the was already another European tour scheduled one year after that, which was canceled unfortunate due to Kevin's 'illness'. Last year's tour was in April, so there's 1,5 year in between. And don't consider UK tours or Cameron Jamie shows as a tour, that's just our bonus ;)
They were listed to play in Newcastle in about 2001. I remember seeing it in the paper and thinking, you know, "Kurt Cobain blablabla". I was going to go but my friend flaked on me. As he did with last week's Earth gig but I still went to that one.
Melvins are the only band i'm actually excited about seeing studio photos of. Woo. And I am excited about the European tour and all that stuff too.
There is a post on Big Business' MySpace Blog, and it says they will be touring Europe this Fall for sure.

Ah come on, you lucky US people get enough tours. Maybe I should move.. But right now I'm just praying that they'll make it to germany, to my town and if it happens I'll be fucking glad. You know, if they announce the dates and I see hamburg I will go rabid, and after a week or so I'm gonna calm down and wait patiently.

but do me a favor and try to have more control over yourself than Dead Cowboy did when he realized he was going to see Harvey Milk.
I hope they'll come to Amsterdam but even if I have to travel through the whole country like last year, I'll do it. In short: the idea of the Melvins playing some place that's easy to reach with me sitting at home is not a pretty one.

I tried to translate the japanese with a language tool thing to get an idea of what he wrote there.
Interesting result, I must say.
"You record the base of the sound where it ended also the based recording, used effect and just a little changes. After inserting those in several tunes, it enters into the vocal recording. Harmony is thick again the tune whose several tunes. When recording the song of Buzz of a certain tune, harmony of the treble listening exceeded in your own head. Because you say that Jared does harmony, you had expected that the high harmony where by his listening exceeded in the head probably will be done. But Jared started doing the harmony which is lower than Buzz in the exact opposite.
We should get board member Cloud to translate, he's currently living in Japan if i recall correctly.

Also the chef of Melvins should call 2nd barbecue, those due to the cooking Jared. In addition timing to be good can do the meal, also work progresses.
If I'm reading this correctly it seems they've cooked and eaten Jared but the timing worked out well as he'd just finished recording. 2008 - New Melvins album and bass player auditions.
I hope these drums sound massive. I want the kick drum to punch me in the face whenever I listen to the new record.

Umm, I translated it again and it says something like this:
"To do the harmony recording of Dale and the guitar recording of Buzz, after that after a long time the noise recording.
As for the time where Kevin of front [beshisuto] is the noise recording was many from that influence." :-k

Looks like they're using a lot of circuit bent toys and noisemakers. Hopefully that means that the next Melvins album will be a little stranger than (A)SA.

One of my favorite Melvins tracks.
Also, is there any confirmation than Suicide In Progress and Billy Fish are going to be on the album? I can only hope so (for the desire of a properly recorded and mastered version of each song), but with what I see of the recording process, they seem to fit in more with (A)SA and not whatever they're cooking up now.

I hope there will be lots of three part harmonies like on (A)SA. It's great.
You actually get a vague idea of what they're doing in the studio when you translate the japanese with a translator.

It'll probably be like Let it All Be or We Reach where the live version is more rocking with less crazy noises. Or they'll release those two on a limited 6'' available only in Bumfuck, Idaho.

You actually get a vague idea of what they're doing in the studio when you translate the japanese with a translator.

I used google as well, but also this one: http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/
I don't think it makes any more sense, the word order is still completely wrong, but you get an idea. I
think I understood some bits. It's interesting, for example when it says something like "enormous experimental tune", it makes me curious. Still I don't know if it's the correct translation.
yeah, i think i got the jist of it.
i like when he said something like, "there has been a long time since noise, ever long time since kevin made noise, now there's noise." great!
noise is good

as jacked-up as it sounds, this is the most beautiful statement I've read in awhile.
the new MELVINS album is going to be a landmark in true MELVINS fashion.
Smash The State is a great noise EP.
They've been in the studio for way more than three days now. Let's hope those tunes don't go stale!
funny but true, i wonder how my ears will react to the CD versions
of Suicide and Billy, after listening to them for the zillionth time on
live shows etc. it'll be killer i know it :lol:
This is very exciting, like being in on the sessions.
I look forward to SIP.
buzz's vocals are creepy on it. can't wait to hear what a few effects to do the vocal track. not to mention that "whispering right in your ear" sound that you don't get with the live version.

Well, that's a pretty cool Melvins pic. Nice shirt, Dale.
But damn, where is Jareds hair?!
That's an awesome picture, they look legendary.
Jared looks bad ass.
I can't tell where jared's eyebrows end and his hair line starts. :?

He looks like an angry lumberjack. Like, as if he was too large for his old bass, so he got pissed and tore a tree down for a new one.
I have to say, after so many years of new Melvins releases, I'm really having a hard time waiting for this one. Summer can't come fast enough.
They should all grow beards for this release.
Buzz needs some hair on his chin to match the hair on his head.

Yah, same here. I got burned out during the 2002/3 ? shows..but I can't get enough of the live shows lately. It looks like there's going to be a lot of gizmos/kids toys /sound effects on the upcoming album..

"the M of Buzz ladies had the salmon and the sea bass, etc."
"Being funny even in remainder, with the tear the contact lens fell from the left eye."
"With southern part well enough the general scramble it seems, but the fried chicken and the waffle. There is no vegetable."
"Bitter fight."
"The supper Jared burnt the stake."
"The tune which is yesterday 50 track/truck extended up to 60. Furthermore as for length of the tune 1 minute 30 seconds or less."
"Exactly, when is hungry, the bar moth which is completed"
"At the time of midnight snack rest admiring after a long time new The Simson with everyone. You do not make a mistake the fact that they are the funniest contents during here several years."
"Being drowsy, the eye may collapse."
"After being attached to the house, the beer applied tastiness. "
So all this time Buzzo was just singing poorly translated Japanese lyrics?
toshi spoils us with the finest of details. not what I'm used to while waiting for a new MELVINS release. previous to joining here it was more along the lines of "check ipecac and themelvins.net daily for some sort of update. get dissapointed 99.98% of the time. finally see a release date at ipecac.com and wait it out."
three cheers for toshi.
After seeing those gear pics, I am hoping for another Stag/HAT kind of record. The kind that is all over the place. But I know I will love whatever these creeps throw at us.

33 minutes of ambient noise will be sure to make some drowsy, and their eyes may collapse.
This looks like the new release is complete.
Can't wait for the next tour.
No studio versions of Billy and SIP, so this all new stuff!

Another Toshi update...
Last night at the Big Business show in LA at Spaceland, Jared stated that this was the first BB show with Toshi as an official member of the band, full time, 100%, the real deal.
And then the hazing starts...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOSHI-SON!
good for toshi, the guy has really earned his stripes.
awesome
Wow, that's great for him. A good addition.

Re: San Diego 12 Dec
So they're no longer a two piece then, wow. But don't get me wrong, Toshi as a third member is awesome.
I'd imagine they still consider bass and drums the lead instruments.
and anticipate that guitar will be used relatively sparingly on the new album.
I hope so. Not that I don't want Toshi to play, but to me Big Biz is droning bass and heavy drums + small but significant guitar parts. Ah, we'll see, it's gonna be good anyway. Toshi knows what he's doing.

We could have said the same thing about Coady and Jared joining the Melvins. I think Toshi will knows how to add an appropriate amount of guitar.

Exactly. It's adds more depth to Big Business. There's nothing worse than a band that puts out the same album over and over and over again.

Exactly, he won't turn the guitar into the main instrument just like that unless Jared and Coady want it for the new album...
He knows their sound and has played with them often enough I guess. That's what I was trying to say with
"Toshi knows what he's doing". 8)
Well and I didn't mean that I don't want them to add a permanant guitar player, I just always thought of them as a two piece. And I don't think it will change their typical sound a lot, after all they did have guitar players on their albums and live, I guess the only difference is that Toshi is now officially a permanent member. Which is cool, Toshiman is a good guy!
after hearing that new song on the youtube clip I'd say its about the same as it ever was.
the bass leads. and goddam is it LOUD.
notice there's really no riffing with the guitar, just added effects/noises. just like Business of old. the riffing is all bass. if you can call it riffing.

i just read that and came here. oh hells yes i am so excited.
to be honest, i though (a) senile animal sounded a liiitle too much like big business. i won't be upset if the new album does, because i love them too, but i want more melvins sounds.
is not connected with the thread but didn't know where post this so...
have anyone seen this melvins myspace page...i found a message from this to the official melvins myspace page....think is unofficial ,but is veryvery cool for the live songs...take a look!

I drank a beer with him in San Diego so he's at least 21.
Maybe he has a fake ID.
Maybe he is 18. I just looked at my post from 12 December and I bought Jarod a Corrona. I did not mention Toshi but he was there. I had no clue who he was at the time to be honest with you.
](*,)
he's not 18.
yeah, hasn't he been recording albums for them since H.A.T. or before? that was like 2002. i'm 21 now and there is no way he is younger than me. if i had to guess he's probably like jared and coady's age.
I heard he turned 47, but don't pin me on that one.

Yeah, H.A.T.'s the first album were he's credited as mixing/recording for the Melvins, so if he's 18 now, he would've been 12 when he did that.
