I hadn't gotten around to this, here goes:

Purge of Dissidents- was ok, I liked the music but the animation was a little boring. It was a little too clean and
mechanical looking for my taste.

Big Business- was awesome, I think Toshi's presence really added alot to their set. I was interrupted by someone
I went to High School with during Give you Something to Cry About which kinda sucked. Dale came out and
played the last few songs with them, and also the new song is awesome.Also, Coady is a badass.

Melvins- first of all, why do I always end up next to the drunken dumbass? last time it was this guy yelling every
few minutes into the floor, this time it was the dancing geek. As soon as the drum beat kicked in for It's Shoved
he was dancing around and didn't stop the whole time.  Anyway the new setlist is great I especially
liked Hogleg, the dancing geek went nuts when they played it. During a certain part of Civilized Worm my g/f
turned to me and said "banana".    I love the way the new songs flow into each other so smoothly, when they went from
History of Bad Men to Mechanical Bride I got chills. Dwight Fry was cool too, Buzz looked liked he was about to leave the
stage but then came back in with the extra verse. Buzz ran off the stage after and Dale and Coady continued with
Jared making noise and Dale saying something about being "jostled" in a public restroom or something, Jared sang "he
jostled me" a few times.

I was kinda dissappointed with the merch. Only two Melvins shirts and I don't like the new Big Business shirts. I got some
stickers, the Eggnog shirt and the Walsby book/Making Love demos, John said it was his first sale of the book/cd, and yes I
gave him a good tip.

this was the show at Emo's right?
i was at that one, i can clearly remember being packed like a sardine inside the tiny covered (WALLED!) patio that the stage is under.
temperatures inside the bldg reached peaks of about 120 F, with sweat pouring down my face, and i was just standing there.
there were so many people there that it was nearly impossible to concentrate on the band, Emo's may not be a good venue for the melvins anymore.
maybe if the damn clubpeople would open up those walls and let some air in the room it wouldn't have been so bad.
still Stubb's BBQ outdoor stage is the BEST venue in Austin.

Indeed. The first time I saw the Melvin's it was at Stubb's, and was the best show I've ever been to. Emo's is just a place for hipsters and emo kids to hang out at on the weekends.
