Slept through another release. I need to hire someone.

[Buckwheat]

Are the variants ( plus the clown variants) only going to be sold on the Australia tour???

I don't think so. Australia is like Canada .... as in they tax a crap ton on the merch bands bring in.

I expect a lot of 'leftovers' to go up online after the tour.

The star'd and numbered Haze edition will go on sale at the NYE party.

Thanks Judy!

[JUDY]

Got my Melvins's in the mail today.
up first is the Helmet side: Almost instantly transported back to the 90's. Its like a drug, but the high only lasted like 2 seconds, so I chased the dragon by slowing the pitch control down about 2 or 4%. It didn't so much "work". Solid track, sweet recording/production/duplication values but overall underwhelming first listen. Later returning for a 2nd and 3rd spin at regular speed (45) and now the tweeds are kicking in real good and this song is sounding great since I put on my super dope cover hat head-warmer thingy. Full-on windmills and headbanging from the waist up. This track is on fire! Yep. It holds up at 33rpm too. even 33 minus 10% and back to [45] 45 is the speed revolutions. VIVA REVOLUTIONS!
Melvins side: Cool synth shits? maybe some Sir David Scott Stone in the mix??? Electro80's Yes style freak-jam with hand-clap ha! Melvins.

Glazed over the Clowns just once until,
Victoria: B-side on the Kinks 7" got INSTANT replays, not twice but THRICE! Got me power struttin' up and down my spot. Now its getting played at 33. Now 33 minus 20% pitch control. Now again.... The Melvins is Jams. Play it again, slower, make it last.  my melvins spot is wet again. thanks for playing.

Ha !
I used to play eggnog at both speeds , as well as my old napalm death 45's.
I had some old metallica 12's  for jump in the fire and Harvester of sorrow,
they sounded like Eyehategod when played at 33 ( though I have no idea if eyehategod existed back then , prolly not) . I listened to them mostly like that . Ah the things you do about twenty years ago.....

Helmet are releasing their first live album of old shows and Toshi did some mixing on the album:

Someone did manage to run a 2" 24-track tape machine during our set at the Melbourne Big Day Out; thanks are due to those folks. We've had these tapes collecting dust in the band locker (New Jersey pre-2001, North Hollywood since) for all these years so we enlisted our talented pal Toshi Kasai to mix some of the set and Golden Mastering to polish things up."
