As we all know the melvins pretty much rule over all rock music, so I thought i'd start a melvins thread and folks can bring and discuss melvin-related news. I'll get the ball rolling:
Has anybody seen or bought their new book?

Dude! WTF, over? :)

Who are the melvins?

Owch.

...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead rules the rock world, but Death From Above 1979 is staging a revolt. We will see if ToD's new album can quell the rebellion.

I thought this thread was going to be about pulling a person underwear over heads. I wanted to improve my technique, I'm disappointed.

Melvins?

Melvins?

Who are the melvins?

Kids today, don't know they're born...

Yeah well i suppose it would be either kid or too old- but 30 is just right.

Heh! "The Melvins" sounds like a sequal to "Attack Of The Clones!" :D

Does anybody here actually like the melvins!

Well I ain't a kid.

Um ... no comment! :D

I'm a kid! Give ME attention.

Ozma is an amazing album...

Hey Elder, I felt the same way when I posted a couple of threads about my favorite author, Thomas Ligotti, a while back and watched them slowly sink down with no hits. At least sombody's paying attention to the "melvins" thread.

Well, I don't really know who they are, so I've decided I hate them more than Rudolph.

Kid? I'm 30 for fuck's sake!

'Kids' (or more properly 'the Kids') as in 'collective noun used in connection with fans of loud music': see also If The Kids Were United by Sham 69 or The Kids Are Alright by the Who for further details.

Anyhoo, I've still got a jump on you of 4 years.

Gluey Porch Treatments?, Lysol?, Ozma?

the only thing i know about the melvins (if its the band were talking about) is that they are from Aberdeen in Washington, and their drummer Dale Crover drummed for Nirvana for a short while

Yeah! But enough about the melvins. Lets talk about the cake that is unrelated to them. There are many different types of cake, just like there are many different types of people. My favorite is the banana cake as i like yellow people and am yellow myself. One day when i was walking down a road (which was quite steep and i fell a few times) i ate a banana cake. This made me feel happy. Or something.

I actually prefer the newer ipecac stuff but every melvins album rules so much ass that a giraffe could seem tiny and futile. With sprinkles and bits.

Kurt cobain drummed on one of the tracks from houdini if that interests you non-melvins people

I prefered them when they were still releasing 8" singles, still they never came close to Brutal Truth for perversity in single sizes, who, IIRC, released a series of records starting at 5" and then adding an inch each release, and then subtracting half an inch when they got to 12" and proceeding from there in inch wide steps... in other words:

7", 8", 9", 10", 11", 12", 11 1/2", 10 1/2", 9 1/2", 8 1/2", 7 1/2", 6 1/2", 5 1/2".

he drummed on one or two Nirvana tracks as well i think

What the f...!? Shoe sizes?

What?

Oh.

Now I see. Should've read the post, not look at the pretty numbers...

The Melvins lick grundle. If I was dying of cancer and had a last wish, it would be to have the melvins visit me so I could stab them and fuck the wounds. I hate the Melvins.

The Melvins lick grundle. They're just another pretentious indy rock band, from what I can tell. I hate the Melvins.
Grundle?

Actually there is one and only Melvin, all others are copycats. The origional Melvin sang in a band with his two buds, Simon and Theodore, and were managed by the impeckable Mr. Dave.
:fluffle: On his recent blog, Melvin quotes,
" IT IS SAID: That When the Earth is Weeping and the Animals are Dying, a Tribe of People will come Who Care, They Will Be Called:
THE WARRIORS OF THE
RAINBOW"

It's the slang term for the area between the asshole and the balls. It keeps you from shitting on your balls.

another word for grundle is "taint".

In my neck of the woods we call that a Taint. because it aint your ass and it ain't your balls.

I refer to my previous statement, regarding said synonym.

Anyway, the Melvins suck.

You suck buddy, name a bad melvins song

Up and down. I like some of their stuff, but hate some of the rest. Overall i'd say they're an alright band but i'm not really into them.

*insert Melvins song name here" by the Melvins.

Do you want to be squashed?

oh crap, i clicked i loved them cos it reminded me of bill and ted's bogus journey where they get death with one, turns out this is a totally different context, whoops.

Do you want to be squashed?

No, but I don't think you can squash me with yout cursor anyway so it's academic.

Whats your point?

What a strange thing to say

They're okay, their newest cd with Jello kicks ass though, Hail Eris eh?

Hail indeed, i dont particularly it though. Prefer their new split with lustmord

I've heard of them, but couldn't say I've heard any songs. Being of the older set (35+), I'm really out of the loop when it comes to newer music. I never listen to the radio or MTV for obvious reasons, so it's tough to find new bands. Do you have any links where I might catch a snippit or two?

Well i would hardly call a 24 year old band new but whatever...

Ha! mastodon did a melvins cover last night! "the bit!" lovely stuff

For all of you who don't know, the Melvins were the first grunge band. If you don't already have it, buy their album "Houdini." NOW!
