Melvins Tour Diary on Spin Magazine

[tinnitus photo]

seven continents would be a lot more impressive.

7 countries in 7 days? don't most bands that tour Europe do that?

[(PAUL)]

Didn't Def Leppard do three shows on three continents in 24 hours?

I'm reading this again for the 4-5th time now and about to send the PDF to a mate who was a big Amrep fan back in the day but isn't very familiar with the Melvins. It's such a great read.

Thanks once again to the late Conda for compiling this.

I'd never heard of that. Seems strange to do this with all 3 shows so far apart. You could do it in the Mediterranean region with far less effort.

"On 23 October 1995, the band entered the Guinness Book of World Records by performing three concerts on three continents in one day (Tangiers, Morocco; London, England; and Vancouver, Canada).[49]"

10 years later and i STILL haven't read all this tour diary. Thanks to Conda's efforts i've had a few initial attempts but (due to the size of this thing) have always gave up. I always struggle reading long form stuff on a screen - it's not something i enjoy. I much prefer to have it on paper in my hands. SO anyway i've decided that next week when no supervisors are at my work, im going to print this whole thing off. I wonder if they will be surprised the next day to find all the paper and ink has gone!!

I would feel the same. Im just not into reading a lot from ANY screen. It feels weird to say that being that i consume so much context online but if i want to feel like i've "properly" take it in or am spending time with it - it HAS to be on paper.

Not especially. 44. Im sure younger folk who probably grew up with reading from screens feel comfortable with it. I do myself for some things online. On here for example or the usual sites one might peruse. But longer pieces of text are uncomfortable for me on a screen. Not because of the font size or bright screen - just it doesn't sit well with me or feel as connected. Even when people post cool articles on here that tend to get a bit longer than a few paragraphs or a neat interview with someone i REALLY want to read. I still find it lacking and hard to concentrate on it properly. Maybe i am alone in this, but for me there is no substitute at all for actually having the physical item (be it a book or magazine or sheet of paper) in your hands and reading it that way. I find im much more relaxed and take it in far more. Perhaps that is conditioning i don't know.

Not long after this came out I downloaded it and then printed the whole thing. I read it a couple of times absolutely loved it then gave it to my brother to read and never heard about it again
