Melvins Unofficial "Mix Tape" Thread

[gesundheit]

Have you ever found yourself making a Melvins "mixtape" for somebody?..could be anybody in your life really that is interested in maybe getting to hear what/who the Melvins are and why do you have a Melvin's shirt with a pooping dog on it?

This person, I've found to be, is my girlfriends mother. Who, by chance,  is very keen to the whole rock and roll and even (gasp) metal scene..which is to say she was cool with going to OzzFest and in general rocking out and headbanging/hair whipping, etc.

So this got me thinking that maybe some of you have some interesting playlists (not setlists, I already know that) of the Melvins. Now I know about you album purists and I am one of you in a big way but this thread is just a means to express any lists of the Melvin's songs beyond the album or live that are used to give an example of what the band is like. With or Without exposing them to some of the Melvins other songs. Criticism welcomed. Anyway...here goes

a mix of (live and) album material for my girl's mom so she can get to know the melvins

1. At A Crawl (2-22-94)
2. Roadbull
3. Junebug
4. Going Blind
5. Joan of Arc
6. The Green Manalishi pt. 1:)
7. The Green Manalishi pt. 2:)
8. The Brain Center at Whipples
9. A History of Drunks
10. Civilized Worm
11. Tequila (5-27-00)
12. Up the Dumper (5-27-00)
13. Berthas (5-27-00)
14. The Ballad of Dwight Fry (03-07-04)
15. Halo of Flies (03-07-04)
16. Promise Me (03-07-04)

I kept it to about an hour so as to not overwhelm. This was obviously before I got Nude With Boots in my hands or else I would've included a fair bit of that album as well. Though I haven't gotten feedback from this collection yet so we'll see..

I know there are way better songs than honeybucket
but if you put that in a mix for someone
who had no clue it has a 90 percent chance of hooking 'em.

Good point, depending on the type of person your giving the mix to.  Honeybucket is a catchy little bastard.  But hopefully people can look beyond it.

..but Buzz could write a better song with his asshole..j/k..meh, I seriously really didn't feel that Honeybucket is a good way of representing the Melvins. Though I could've easily included it I just didn't think it appropriate enough. I don't think (that's if i was trying to hook said person, which i wasn't, just expose) it would've been right since that song is so different to half the best songs IMO.

[Idlehanz]

If your trying to expose a person to Buzz's songwriting capabilities.....I'd have to say these are are the songs to include.

Let It All Be
Joan of Arc
Little Judas Chongo
Dog Island
Oven
Boris
Easy As It Was
Night Goat
Anaconda
A History of Bad Men
Amazon ( both )
In The Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying
Tipping The Lion


Shit, there's a bunch more......But if someone gave me that cd, I'd probably poop meself.

mix tapes or CDs are a dicey proposition
when trying to woo a potential lover,
I recommend full albums.

To get in her pants = POTRE
To dry doggie in the dumper first time = HAT or Stag
To experiment with a new substance previously untried = Eggnog and/or Lysol
