I just popped in to my kcal record store to pick up Mike and the Melvins and was chatting to the owner about Record Store Day. Turns out there's going to be a secret 7" that is MC5 and The Melvins doing Rocket Reducer!
I'm not sure if this is a UK only release.
If anyone is going to be looking for it it's a plain, dark front cover (either black or dark brown).

Looks like the Melvins are heading down under in 2011.

One of the extras on the dvd is an interview with Joe Preston about his time in the Melvins.
It's all a bit brief, but he mentions how he got to introduced to the Melvins and how dissappointed he was that while he was in the Melvins they concentrated on playing covers rather than new songs.

It's a good documentary, definitely worth buying.

A nice little read on Krists blog - http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2009/01/krist_novoselic_we_all_owe_som_1.php#more

I was just having a wee browse on the internet and I've stumbled across this - http://www.manchesteracademy.net/themelvins.html

Manchester Academy, here I come! I was planning on going to the show at The Scala, but that would have meant booking 2 days of work to make the journey!
