The OFFICIAL word: Melvins to TOUR with old "pals" Down

[black stallion]

it wasn't my intention to scare you Swing 

[Bitches of Copacabana]

WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Something's up with Weedeater on this tour.  Just doing my regular check of Pollstar.com for dates in and around Charleston, SC.

Lo and behold:  Weedeater is playing 09/04 at The Dive in Goose Creek (my hometown actually)

Which is spectacular!  But Down and Melvins are playing in Myrtle Beach that same night.  I looked at the rest of Weedeater's dates and it seems they're dropping in and out this tour, doing headlining shows in between.

[FartLips]

yeah they're playing here with zoroaster and a couple others.

Hmmm..... checked Weedeater's MySpace and I'm not seeing any other bands as of yet.... Zoroaster has a big gap in their schedule though...

REGARDLESS!

I'm seeing Weedeater in Goose Creek over Down/Melvins in Myrtle Beach.  If you guys only knew what this town was like... that just has a beautiful ring to it...

"Weedeater in Goose Creek, SC."     HAAAAAAAAA!

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.

Too bad you didn't happen to have a copy of Ozma or Gluey w/ you.

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.

Indeed!

His hair kept my attention briefly, then the milkers, then back to the hair, milkers one more time.

Soon it was time to move on.

No like.
