Bad Mood Rising

[))))((((]

What was the last jewel case release? Basses Loaded? Everything else since Hold it In has been digipak?

It was Working With God actually.

 Nope. Maybe there's already a 2nd pressing by now of WWG w/ jewel case, but I bought it week of release date and it's def a digipak. The kind I prefer w/ the plastic tray glued on, NOT the retarded eco-friendly all cardboard versions in which some are oversized by a half inch like Hold It In, and Buzz' 1st solo acoustic one.

Ah yeah you're right now you mention it.

 Ok. I believe the last jewel case Melvins CD was indeed Basses Loaded.

Yes, that is true.

Dale Crover: More touring and some more records. More of the same. We will certainly make a big stink out of it.

Records (plural). I’m already looking forward to next year!

Does "records" translate into being albums though? I'm sure that could be open to interpretation. Maybe he means multiple re-issues! Haha.

True… could be a couple 10”s, a reissue, a Dunn album and a live recording. Either way, I’m sure I’ll be buying

FWIW the latest Ipecac newsletter arrived overnight and said 5-6 new releases will be coming out on the label next year, Melvins were not one of the bands mentioned.

As I said in a different thread earlier, Ipecac is now down the same path as SST was in the late '80s/early '90s. Other than Spotlights, I can't remember the last "new" good band/album that the label put out. They had a great 10 yr run from '02 to '12. It's been a slow downhill slide since. I'd say Ipecac really jumped the shark when they decided to back Omar Rodriguez' 15 or so digital albums he put out. Besides the last few Melvins albums and  Patton's latest vanity projects, I have no use for Ipecac. So good for the Melvins if they're going strictly AmRep.

Agreed. I also finally got around to listening to Mr.Phyllzz Cancel Culture Club and I found it brief and invigorating.

Notice also Dunn is doing stuff either on his little Riverworm label or elsewhere. I bet the pandemic shook up a lot of artist/label relationships.

And then they disappeared as soon as the Crystal Fairy thing went pear-shaped.

I still think the Melvins need a mainstream type label like Ipecac or something similar because they've got the worldwide distribution channels boutique hobby labels like AmRep don't have. It's one thing as a once off but the band will definitely need to find a proper label going forward.

i liked the part where they talked about Jello B.

The brand new Trio-Convulsant album "Seances" is awesome. Well worth the wait . I'm way more into that group than any recent or future Buzz/Trevor collabs.
