Thanks Dead Bob and Honkster.  I suppose even watching Melvins soundchecking would be eventful.  You'd think Marilyn Manson would have a designated procurer of drugs other than a soundman. 

????? There aren't 29 months in a year???!!!

There are 31 months in an American year.

Somebody please tell us the Marilyn Manson coke story.

When does this cd come out?

It comes out this fall.  Fall is american for Autumn.

As long as Adam Jones is not involved they can do High School musical for all I care.

he doesn't look THAT much like Isabella

With enough alcohol anyone can look like Isabella and that's where Sunday morning confusion starts.  I'm not speaking from experience obviously.

Nikki Sixx

Dale is really lusted by many a Melvins-fan. What has he got that Buzzo doesn`t have? Is it the blond hair?

He looks more easy than Buzz.  Plus he wears the finest lingerie and spends most of his working day with his legs spread.

Your dream was a sign that there's gonna be a massive earthquake in L.A.  It was an unconcious Melvins warning to prevent your death.

Juan gets too much abuse.  It's amazing how a haircut and musical taste has garnered so much hatred. 
Isn't Coady to blame though?  He is afterall the handsome babyfaced member with the side swept fringe who maybe attracted some fans from the emo contingent.  Just a thought.

I did my part.

on a job in detroit.  a semi truck shows up with a delivery of materials.  truck driver jumps out and I notice he has a DOWN hat on.  I say "hey.. I'm going to see them in about a month with the MELVINS.   he says "yeah, me too.  I did not know that the MELVINS were opening. I have heard of them but not heard them."       I say "I have heard of DOWN but not heard much. only a song or two."    he then proceeds to return to his semi-cab and come back with a cd in his hand.  its the new DOWN.  he hands it to me and says "you can keep it.  then you'll have heard some of their shit before the show."      I then return to my truck and come back with NUDE WITH BOOTS.  I hand it to him and tell him he can keep it.  then he will have heard some MELVINS before the show.    we thank each other.  I feel pretty good about the whole exchange knowing I have another copy of NWB.  
all has gone pretty well.  then I listen to the DOWN disc on the drive home.  
then...     not so much.

*EDIT:   now I've heard most of the rest of DOWN III.   oof.  it sucks.  bad. 
but you can't say I didn't try.

The Cd has nice artwork at least so you could decorate your fridge.  You got shafted though, it wasn't a fair exchange at all.  I'd recommend Down I and II instead but I doubt you could fall in love with them.  Wait until you're in Ireland sometime and you can have mine.  I was obsessed with Down Nola as a teenager when it came out but now I just can't force myself to listen to it.  All this sweet home alabama shit with distortion is getting a little old.

that blows.
and a word of advice... get your smoking done when the opening band(s) are playing.
never go out for a smoke when the melvins are on stage! thats just.... insidious!

Well before the smoking ban I could happily smoke and watch a band.  Just goes to show how addictive they are that they come between me and the melvins.  I did bump into Dale though once during a smoke break which was a nice bonus.  I probably intimidated him though.  He looked confused.

I've scoured the Internet and I still can't tell you who the special guest is.  I'd hazard a guess at Altamont but other than that nothing comes to mind.

I'm looking forward to this.  I like the idea of working with an entire album instead of just remixing one track.  It's good to see Melvins dabbling in weird electronic experimental stuff again.
