How do you navigate to this page from the Home page?

I can't recall anymore. I think I went to http://www.themelvins.net/sounds.html, and then I noticed a ot of links either don't work anymore, or they redirect to the Wiki now, as most information is moved there now and is being updated now. But how I got on that covers page, I really don't know anymore. And I haven't smoked today, yet.

EDIT: Ah, I went to 'Other stuff' (http://www.themelvins.net/stuff.html) and from there you can go to 'Songs Melvins Have Covered'.

:D

Oh yeah, and a virtual kiss from Amsterdam for the person who has any information at all about 'The Ronsons', who, according to this page, are the original performer of 'Butcher Town' and 'You'll Be Taken Care Of'. There's no information about them. Maybe it was a joke? I know this was a recording they did with Pat Smear of White Flag.

Dies Irae can be credited to either Wendy/Walter Carlos or Thomas of Celano.

feel free to help with this.....

if this ever gets done i'll probably turn it into a place to link to downloads of these songs (as covered by the melvins, not the originals) assuming they aren't available on albums.

Any idea why the c and d entries aren't formatting the boxes correctly? Strange.

I remember seeing this way back when. Clearly, it hasn't been updated in some time, but still very informational (didn't know they covered Montrose, let alone a song NOT on the debut. That's digging real DEEP).

The final line in each table has to be closed off with a |} instead of a |-
