I'm always really happy when an animal scores people food. I once saw a pigeon in the Giants Stadium parking lot running around w/a chicken wing.

Fucking bad-ass. Glad some of the recent covers aren't exclusive to AmRep limited vinyl releases. I love when bands I like do "covers" albums. How many other bands have done this, besides Primus with Misc. Debris & Rhinoplasty? Those are both awesome.

That dog looks like it wouldn't be that out of place in the stag artwork

Feb. 8, 2013, San Francisco -- The Melvins return with a 13-track covers album titled "Everybody Loves Sausages," which is set for an Apr. 30 release via Ipecac Recordings.

"This record will give people a peak into the kind of things that influence us musically," explains Buzz Osborne. "We REALLY like all of these songs along with the bands who actually wrote this stuff because first and foremost we are HUGE music fans."

In a decidedly Melvins approach to a covers album, the band not only selected a unique assortment of songs to cover, ranging from Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" to Queen's "Best Friend," they also enlisted several friends to take part including Mudhoney's Mark Arm joining them for The Scientists' "Set It On Fire" and Neurosis' Scott Kelly pitching in on a cover of Venom's "Warhead."

While the release is billed as a proper Melvins' album (featuring the line-up of Osborne, Dale Crover, Jared Warren and Coady Willis), there are a handful of songs recorded as the Melvins Lite incarnation of the band (Osborne, Crover and Trevor Dunn): "Female Trouble" (Divine a.k.a. John Waters), "Timothy Leary Lives" (Pop-O-Pies) and "Romance By Tales of Terror" (Tales of Terror).

The complete track listing with original artist and guest player notation:
1. Warhead (Venom; Guest: Scott Kelly of Neurosis)
2. Best Friend (Queen; Guest: Caleb Benjamin of Tweak Bird)
3. Black Betty (Original artist unknown)
4. Set It On Fire (The Scientists; Guest: Mark Arm)
5. Station To Station (David Bowie; Guest: JG Thirlwell)
6. Attitude (The Kinks: Guest: Clem Burke of Blondie)
7. Female Trouble (Divine a.k.a. John Waters)
8. Carpe Diem (The Fugs)
9. Timothy Leary Lives (Pop-O-Pies)
10. In Every Dream Home A Heartache (Roxy Music; Guests: Jello Biafra and Kevin Rutmanis)
11. Romance (Tales of Terror)
12. Art School (The Jam; Guest: Tom Hazelmeyer)
13. Heathen Earth (Throbbing Gristle)

I applaud anyone who will attempt to cover Roxy Music's early wreckords.  This has always been one of my very favorite songs...

Look! All those songs that the Melvins only released on super expensive limited edition collector vinyl - now available for the crybabies!!!!

Maybe all y'all crybabies need to stop crying about music being so expensive. The Melvins get around to it - so just CHILL!

<<wicked grin>>

Station to station!

Once again proving the Melvins are the best cover band in the world!

This is going to be awesome, especially Thirlwell doing Bowie. I wonder if the Throbbing Gristle track is the same one from the In Formation tribute album that they did or if it's something different.

Did I just read Queen?

interesting track selection as well.    best friend is probably the happy-go-luckiest song in their catalog.   I'll be damn curious to hear the MELVIN'S take.

I heard in a recent Tweak Bird interview that the Melvins gave Caleb a list of Queen songs that he could choose from.
