It's nice to take a narrow man

And hold in a heaven

Grab it hold of for lamb

You try to deafen me

And leave it for shavin'

Man over for same, yeah

Ben stars in all my wars and more, they're

Gonna act in emergency

When he beats them down and haunt it all away

I'll be in LA a week from now!   :mrgreen:  I'm staying right around the corner from the Griffin.  Y'all bitches should come and hang out!  Hopefully I'll see some of you at the show on the 14th.  Look for a tall curly haired dude with HUGE pupils in a fetal position in a corner of the club.   :cheers:

THE MELVINS MEET JOHN FANTE

The perversely talented Melvins start their residency for Spaceland Productions at The Satellite with a performance of some of their most challenging works. For their Friday, Jan. 7, show, Buzzo & Co. have programmed their last indie album before the explosion of grunge (Lysol, including Flipper and Alice Cooper covers), an anti-Xmas EP (Eggnog) and, strangest of all, their weirdly experimental Colossus of Destiny, a polarizing 2001 album that pays titular homage to one of Los Angeles' greatest literary chronicles. How so? Colossus of Destiny is the ridiculously ambitious masterpiece the antihero of John Fante's underrated novel The Road to Los Angeles dreams of unleashing on the world. Lesser bands might namecheck Fante's Ask the Dust, but leave it to the Melvins to point their brainy fans to the far more obscure prequel, written in the 1930s but only released posthumously in 1985.

"perversely talented" and "indie" made me roar with laughter. The rest is cock-on.

From Wiki:

Colossus of Destiny is a live album by Melvins, which was released in 2001 through Ipecac Recordings. It was recorded live Friday, December 13, 1998 at Club Mangler, Cupertino, California. It is nearly an hour of synthesizer and sample experimentation ending in a performance of the song "Eye Flys". It was reported that members of the audience were lying on the ground, covering their ears during this performance. The album was originally intended to be the third part of the band's 1999 album trilogy (The Maggot, The Bootlicker and The Crybaby) until the band came up with the guest star idea on The Crybaby.

The name of the album is taken from the John Fante book The Road to Los Angeles, in which the main character, Arturo Bandini, writes a book bearing the name Colossus of Destiny.

Pinky! Sent you a pm!

Well, we'll always have "In the Air Tonight." Will that be your most enduring song?
You know, that song won't lie down. It just won't go away. I mean, there's a Mike Tyson moment associated with it now. It's just bizarre. I guess it has a bit of mystery, a lot of atmosphere, and the drums coming in, pinning people to the wall.

I wonder how close to the original CoD it's going to sound considering it was mostly improvised.  If it's too different I wonder why they didn't just call it something else.

my guess is it will be as close as the 2005 spread eagle beagle is to the original.

"An Hour of Abstract Noise Music, Simililar in Intent (But Not Performed Identically) to the 2001 Release "Collossus of Destiny" by Cult Rock Act The Melvins" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
