Slight little personal coincidence as I was just watching that Minneapolis hardcore documentary yesterday which is like 60% about Husker Du during their hardcore days.

"Data Control" was the closing track on Husker Du's 1982 debut album Land Speed Record which was recorded live to tape at 7th Street Venue.

If every track on the split/collab is as good as this it's easily gonna be the best one of the whole lot.

I really dig this.

Precious little revealed about a new Melvins release yet again! So this is a 12" EP or LP??? I'm guessing more AmRep?

Nice! Outta left field, Melvins covering Husker Du, never woulda suspected. Great choice for a cover and a great take all round, digging it! Miss Mould's deadpan vocal delivery ... but hearing Buzz sneer " A Multinational Corporation!" makes up for it ... that was fucking hilarious!

Well... Grant Hart did play drums on the Pigskin 7" years ago, so not TOTALLY unexpected

Yeah that just dawned on me a couple of minutes ago. Wasn't he on some other 7" or something around that time too?

For some reason i always get Helms Alee mixed up with the band Big Brave. I'm not too familiar with their music so when i hear this new song i can't really detect their influence or input. It just sounds like Melvins to me. I didn't know the original so it sounds good. It hasn't blown me away but it's rocking and decent so i approve.

I know i've read quite a bit about the music video to this song but i purposely haven't watched it. I saw about the first 20 seconds and then just listened to the song. It's not that i don't like the visuals. But it feels like one of those videos that will be too attached to the song in my mind. I don't want to hear the song and always associate it to the video. I'm not sure what triggered this in me for this particular track. I don't normally think this with other Melvins songs or indeed with other bands. But this video gave me this feeling very quickly.
