Honky

[alnis]

See them live and you'll understand why they have become the "New Dead"

I hope you don't mean the new GRATEFUL dead, because that's certainly not a point in their favour.

no, I think he meant the new Return of the living dead.

that third peral jam album...that one's cool.

lost dogs isn't bad...they were just totally overplayed in the early 90's.

im gonna pretend you didnt say that.  or ill just mock you.  last time i saw eddie vedder playing with dave mathews band and the dixie chics i was like "whoa this is the best set list ever!!!"

Just curious, because I thought it was and I just got it for 11 bucks on ebay, but I would have thought it would have went for more.


Now I just need to get me a actual record player. i was just planning ahead.

That makes two records I have that I cant play. Honky and that seven inch that AMREP released at the last Minneapolis show.

[TosT]

i think that you can still order it from Am Rep, i got one a couple years ago anyway...

[zach]

I went to their site, and it seems they only have the cd in stock. But I could be wrong. anyways it doesnt really matter.

Holy crap. I love this album. "Air Breather" is now one of my favorites because of the weird vocals and the way the song keeps changing direction. "Mombius Hibachi" has got to be one of the most heaviest songs ever, and I love the weird-as-frick sound on "Lovely Butterfly". Sounds like they recorded the song on a smashed-up tape recorder. "They Must All Be Slaughtered" may be the perfect song to play on the radio outside on Halloween to freak everyone out.

Wait, hold on a minute. I still need to listen to "Harry Lauder"! Well whatever. I'll do that tommorrow since I gotta go to bed.

Sorry for not shutting up about this album for a while, but this is amazing. If you have any thoughts, just post 'em here but I guess long-time members have already posted their thoughts about Honky millions of times. :-/

Am Rep just shipped my copy out.  it's been soo long since i heard it, i can't wait!!!  i can't even remeber the album it's been so long.

i used to have the sticker for this album on my bumper of my car. loved it. wore out in the weather though.

[musefreek]

heheheheh

i remember being in a state of complete awe the first time i listened to honky. it was the best thing ever.

i mean, how can you ask for something better than the noise charged intro of In the Freaktose???

[Lividity]

Haha, my dad walked in while I was listening to "Air Breather" around 6 minutes. He stood there, listened for a few seconds and said: "That really is some weird music there."

[stonerwitch]

The Lovely Butterfly,Even better live

[anaconda]

ya man this one is a total gem right from the packaging on down to the sounds they made
buzz, mark and dale hit the mother lode on this one, so precise, so mind blowing

[DubEMC]

I have to dig deeper into this release.
They All Must Be Slaughtered is definitely the best overlooked item in the Melvins canon though.
