QuoteWell, fill us in...

I don't mean to sound arrogant but, that's all there is to it, really. I remember when it came out. Right before 'Stoner Witch'. I was "there", man.

It was obviously recorded in 1991, preceding Bullhead / Eggnog as evidenced by an early version of Wispy, (mentioned earlier). And they also talk about "a new song, from our new record"...before launching into Anaconda.

Fact: Recorded in 1991. Released in 1994.

Read your fanclub newsletters..... in the very first issue (dated spring 1993) it's mentioned in the discography.
To be afraid when you are alone, in the dark, faced with the unknown, the unspeakable; that is understandable fear. To be afraid, mortally afraid, in broad daylight, in a crowded city street, that is to know Melvins.

best Melvins live album ever,Buzzo won't agree with me though :(
Don't you mean Buzz in the box?  I simply cannot list a favorite album/year.  I have recently repurchased some oldies and  each one is my new favorite (Stag, Stoner Witch, Bullhead).  Prior to those, I enjoyed in order, Lysol, Houdini, A Senile Animal, and Hostile Amb. Takeover. I'm sure I'm missing some other favs. 

Those repurchases have been GREAT LISTENING.  It's new all over again.  See, there is something new and it's wild and it's new.  Well maybe more lovely than wild!

Looking forward to some disc golf and music festival up in the Catskills!

What I mean by this, is simply, that I was sort of part of that whole 'Your Choice' series. Tobby Holzinger is actually a relative of mine. Not through blood, but marriage. We had spoken only a couple times prior to the Melvins release, but he valued my input and appreciated my taste in music. Not to toot my own horn, but I was the one to suggest the Jawbox release in 1994. I remember when the Melvins live record came out it was after Houdini had been released (though obviously had been recorded much earlier). Tom mailed me a copy with a slew of animal rights crap (stickers, flyers and posters)

"animal rights"? animals have the right to be eaten in a tasty fashion.
What would a woman that fine want in a big, fat, nasty, greasy, fat, stank, bloated, cheesy-backed, 12-sandwich-eatin' bastard?

Turn around mister, and never trust a girl giving her donuts away for free.

Something's not right.....  in the first Melvins newsletter (spring '93) it says:

"Album update: Melvins will go back into the studio in April to finish their Atlantic debut tentatively titled Houdini. The band has been writing and recording songs in sections and in various different studios. Some song titles: Hooch, Lizzy, Set Me Straight, Copatche (sic), Sky Pup, Joan Of Arc, Gibby, Pearl Bomb and Night Goat. Look for the album in June or July or maybe September."

Yeah, Your Choice Live (though recorded earlier) was officially released between Houdini and Stoner Witch.

No. Before Houdini.

There is no way in hell 'Melvins Your Choice Live' was released after Houdini Because it was in my record collection before Houdini came out.
I bought 'Melvins Your Choice Live' at Vinyl Ink Records in Siver Spring, MD when I was still in collage '89-'93.....and I know I owned it before the 3 solo albums & Lysol.

Now, it may have been reissued in '94, but that would be the only answer.......I bet the CD came out in '94.


And, and, I have no idea why I give a shit.

What "collage" did you go to? The kind where they frown upon learning how to spell? Hope you didn't spend too much on it...
