Sunn concert lead that Buzz used on the first 2 Melvins records (broken mid range knob)

Plus countless personal items including our record collection, our daughter's toys, and most of my clothes.
I have no photos of anything. Any photos of me playing these instruments were also stolen. If you have photos please attach to your re-post. I don't want to see them, it's still too much. Thanks everybody."

When I asked in September 09 I got this reply:
I'm just waiting on Dale to get me the artwork.  I'm hopeful to have it out by the end of the year!

In 2009 there was talk of a vinyl-only album on I'm Better Than Everone Else Records.

Oh, I didn't notice.

But Copenhagen is not mentioned in that thread.

... or Denmark, anyway.

They're playing Copenhagen on October 17th.

Got this reply from Tom Flynn in August 09:
"Buzz mentioned wanting to release the old stuff with slightly different packaging and perhaps some extra tracks, for vinyl, CD, and download. I said "OK" and he said he would start working on it, but I haven

has anyone ever seen vintage (original) melvins shirts in size "Small" or "Medium" popping up on ebay?
i've been looking for years and everytime its a damn "Large" or "XL"...

I used to have the "Fuck Melvins" shirt in small - sold it to a guy in Israel some years ago. And actually I think my Christopher Lee Vampire shirt is medium....

Additions - official and non-official.
Vampire and Flower are from Boner - the Flower is silver print; I've also seen it in white.
The white shirt is probably a boot. The yellow stains on it is an excellent hot Madras-curry.

From Mark Deutrom...
".... attached a couple of tracks that are giveaways from the same sessions that will not be included on the release. Please feel free to duplicate and pass these along all you want. A friend from the band Fastball did the vocals and guy whose been playing with Rocky Erickson and Okkervil River did the drums on these two tracks.
