fuck that cream cover is soooooooooooooo good.

hell yeah manwith. I been thinking the same thing.  who picks better songs to cover AND covers them better than MELVINS?
perfect song for them.  melvins can truely make a smokin song 10 times better.

 I like how on Night Goat about a few minutes into it, they start picking up the tempo a little. It's just cool to know they don't bother fucking around with click tracks like most bands would when making an album this way.

[anaconda]

others have probably thought this too,
spread eagle is like a dale and lusty type of updated COD excursion

I am also among those who pawned their Atlantic Houdini after purveying the new redux.

There was a neat sticker on the CD wrapping that said:
The energy of live, with the quality of studio.

was this just a canuck record market anomalie???

[mopafeena]

I got that sticker on mine too.

good evening, gentle folk. i'm a regular on the primus bullboard, but i've lurked here every now and then for a long time now. ordinarily, i couldn't be bothered to register to post here, but with A Live History of Gluttony and Lust currently assaulting my inner ears, i found it necessary to post here for the first time ever.

i'm trying to decipher the hilarious new lyrics to Sky Pup (sung on this album, i believe, by Dale). I've got some of them:

This is a tale
of one li'l fellow.
His hair in coif,
and his skin colored yellow.
????
????
And did other things
that required his wits.

He sat in a desk
in a big booster seat.
But when he sunk in,
whispering(?) to his feet.
????
?? performed a tango (?)
????
Bingo, bongo, bango.

please fill in the blanks for me, as i am retarded.

i'm sure those lyrics are remade for the new album.
not dis-confirming your lyrics though.

[Andy]

Mine didn't have that sticker. There was a funny one on POTRE though I seem to remember. I'm not pawning the old Houdini but it ain't going to get much play anymore. Honey Bucket is probably the only track that is better on the old one for me.

you didn't pawn it for real, did you?  hold on to that stuff man, its the melvins.  a complete collection is a must.

[Mad Arab]

Bands should record live in the studio or as a band rather than individual parts. Screw all the perfectionist editing. Post production should only be utilized if you were to add an effect or something. Not if something is slightly off pitch. But all bands are different this way. It seems more realistic and human if it was done this way. I think Albini is right about this. Electronic music would benefit this way too as some people complain that electronic music is cold and soulless.

I had one of those suckers on there too but I'm a canuck.

[Rex Irae]

I think these are right, the first part at least... after that I forgot to keep listening and readin them.

[FartLips]

and congrats on the first post.

Good topic, I was tempted to start one about this very subject
I'm getting something like this:

This is a tale
of one li'l fellow.
His hair in coif,
and his skin colored yellow.
He took a retort,
instead of a piss
And did other things
that required his wits.
He sat at his desk
in a big booster seat.
But when he sunk in,
whispering to his feet,
if that doesn't fit
I'll perform a tango
Whilest shouting out loud
Bingo, bongo, bango.
