got mine at Zia Records this morning on the way to work. place was busy and disorganized but found it eventually.
the recording/mix/master are distractingly bad. The snare never cracks. Nothing sits together. And it's typical of most of these recent releases (Bad Mood and Throbbing Jazz are some exceptions.) I really hope there's a change on the next rock record.
Sebadoh's KEXP performance touches nicely on mental health and anxiety specifically in between songs and is well worth a watch, IMO. Also, an interesting read is, 'The Redemption of Lou Barlow', in an article with Psychology Today, here https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brick-brick/201509/the-redemption-lou-barlow

That lineup fucking rules. I miss that lineup.
Man, me too! The more I explore Mark's patreon page the more I think he was a real gift for the Melvins.
If I'm not asked at least twice during a performance whether or not I am having a good time by the artist or some other representative I take personal offense.
I had no expectations of Boris and was blown away. Granted they only played one album (+ a cover of Boris that out-Melvined Melvins) but I was blown away at how good they were. Almost as loud as Swans but sounded spectacular, and they were monster players.
Did Atsuo (drums) yell out an obligatory celebratory Rawk & Roll "YEAH!!!" every 30 seconds? Only seen Boris once and there were a whole lot of those ... it was very Steven McDonald.
