Come on and be the P!nkus record.  But I thought it was only 8 songs, I was pretty stoned.

In case no one saw the twitter post...

"Announcing our new, double album, a first in Melvins history:
A Walk With Love and Death, out July 7 via Ipecac..."

Sounds interesting. The title comes from a John Houston film of the same name. I think it's from the late 60s I hope it's cohesive and not just 18 songs thrown together.

Oops. I just saw the other topic. Sorry.

We know there is another album due somewhat soon-ish featuring Steve and Pinkus but also Steve mentioned briefly about Buzz asking him and his brother to work on a "history of rock and roll" album project. Im guessing that one will be AFTER this Steve and Pinkus one next year or such. Anyway intrigued by this and because i love those sorts of tidbits it made me wonder if this release might actually be another covers record. One that charts rocks progression from song to song. After all the band have quite a few songs they have performed fairly recently that have never got the studio treatment. Plus we saw the band recording 'Leech' in that Mix With The Masters video clip a few months ago. Might that get a re-work job just like 'Euthanasia' has?? Could it end up including these???



64 I Want To Hold Your Hand (The Beatles)
69 Stop (James Gang)
70 Saviour Machine (David Bowie)
71 Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones)
77 Pinhead (Ramones)
79 Mr DNA (Devo)
84 Leech (Green River)
87 Graveyard (Butthole Surfers)
97 Bacon Industry (Karp)

I would love a recording of Bacon Industry. It would be a bit awkward recording that with Steve instead of Jared though.

I wonder if the Pinkus / McDonald album is gonna be like them playing on separate tracks or even both of them together but on different channels like the double-drum albums?

[linoleum blownapart]

Three of those covers are in the can along with a forth one not counting Leech. 

I wish they would hurry up and put that new one out.

If that is indeed correct info, then i suspect it's the most recent three with Steve. I Want To Hold..., Saviour Machine and Brown Sugar.

who knows? i expect Pinkus playing banjo 

[linoleum blownapart]

There is that. And one of the covers is correct, but I'm not sure Steven is one it.

Technically I Want to Hold Your Hand is the Moving Sidewalks version of the Beatles song but that might just be semantics.
