Finally got Stag

[VaticanShotglass]

The album has some of my favorite songs from live shows, but I finally snagged a copy for 12 bucks off an Amazon seller in like new condition.  I can't stop listening to the thing.  I think Goggles ate my soul.  I always loved the bit, the bloat and tipping the lion, but I'm surprised how much i LOVE skin horse.  I can't get that song out of my head.  I fine myself really digging the atmospheric tracks a lot also.  Its been along time coming but I think all I lack from the core releases now are the singles disks and the Biafra stuff.  Oh, and Glutony and Lust... and Prick... Joe Preston EP.  It never really ends.  Meh.

skin horse. 

dale crover.  oh the emotions.

Yeah, Skin Horse is great ... I don't know why they ignore the 1st half
these days when they play it ... 'cause it is absolutely monsterous!! I think
the new line could whip out a killer version of that little forgotton gem ...

[Salty Green]

the first two minutes of skin horse are so good, it's just beyond me why they'd chop it up like that. like spitting in god's face.

I love Stag.  It's definitely one of my favourites.  Actually I love every single song on it.
Skin Horse is a great song with GREAT drumming indeed. 

I think Stag was one of my first Melvins albums because you can get it here quite easily.  I just went to a big local cd store and they had Stag, just like that. It's sad that it's so rare in the US, everyone should have STAG.

FOOLISHNESS!

The beginning of Skin Horse wouldn't be nearly as powerful if there wasn't that 180 shift half way through the song.

It would be like listening to the end of See how pretty, see how smart without the first 5 or so minutes.

I don't think its that hard to buy online, but just not in stores.  I like to be an opportunistic buyer and take advantage of coming across things at a good price so it takes me longer to get stuff.  The whole issue makes me remember back when I was in highschool and I didn't even have a decent record store in the tricounty area.  I had to make the Hajj to Chapel Hill every so often, crash with a friend, see a show, and load up on decent music.  I was lucky enough to score the Gluey Porch reissue and Electroretard back before Greenville's CD Alley closed up wayyyy back when.  Eastern NC really sucked back then, just cotton fields and Lynrd Skynrd.  I now live in the mountains in NC and our local record shop and downtown movie theatre just closed up.  It really pisses me off because the local college just started doing really well in football (because the new chancellor sucks and ignores funding for academic allocations) in the past few years and the small town is now swarmed with really preppy frat-tards.  I'm convinced that the shift scared away the lesbians that ran the music store.  RUE!!!

Moving for grad school next year so hopefully I will be in a real town.  Have you guys had similar problems?

I went to this college in the northwestern part of Wisconsin for a year around the time that HAT came out. I went to this local mall there which was possibly the tiniest mall I've ever seen and went in there horrible music store asking if they had it; I received in response, "Who are the Melvins?" I think I either got it when I was visiting back home or at a Borders which was about 30 minutes away.

but you need the ying to compliment the yang, one is utterly useless without the other.

Goggles

i agree.
i remember being out of my skull on 2ci (my favorite hallucinogen to date) and nearly seeing god while blaring goggles. to me it's just one of their most sonic songs. god i love that song. i would love to hear it live someday but i think thats one of those songs they'll never do. 

[Ron Maiden]

i had a live version but deleted it with the whole folder, i'm searching for it now....

i ont believe they sang during the chorus , you know the really extreme part

They used to open with Goggles back in 95.   Now there's a dance floor clearer!

Damn.  Sounds perfect for an intro I think.


I have a live version of Goggles from a '95 show I believe...
