melvins - the trilogy

the maggot/the bootlicker released 1999
the crybaby released 2000


"seriously,bro? more of the melvins? don't you have anything better to do? if you like the melvins so much...why don't you marry them?

well...i've tried...and as you can see by me hanging out here all the time...

and i promise this will be the last melvinsing for awhile...maybe

and besides...you know you love some melvins

so just let me give you some more

i do it because i care

i'm a giver....just ask anyone down at the free clinic

now...the music

THE MAGGOT has some of the heaviest music the band has laid down...just give opener "amazon" and "manky" a listen...and then there's the fleetwood mac cover

THE BOOTLICKER is considered the quieter of the 3 albums...going back to the STAG/STONER WITCH days

THE CRYBABY is essentially a special guest/covers album (and the melvins rarely do covers...so you need to snag this up)...and they bring folks like david yow...members of the band skeleton key...mike patton...bliss blood...hank wiliiams III...and members of the band tool in to provide vocals and other business

so....there you have it

you know what to do

DL: the maggot

DL: the bootlicker

DL: the crybaby

ass ponys - electric rock music

released 1994

i remember seeing the video for the song "little bastard" on 120 MINUTES on the mtv (apparently mtv is bringing the show back...beavis and butthead as well...but it's just not going to be the same)

and while i was watching the video...i was all like "they called him little bastard?!...and they did it right to his face?!"

oh man

this is the kind of music that you have playing in the background during a pleasant sunday afternoon...the kind of music you can listen to while sitting on your front porch rolling a rock around in the palm of your hand while waiting for your neighbor's dog to wander over and do it's business in your yard...

so...if you like early r.e.m. or the eels or pavement or beck...this will play with them quite nicely

also...you might want to find a bigger rock...i think the dog has worked up a tolerance

DL: electric rock music

nancy vandal - return of the zombie skate poets from planet sex

released 1994

all i'm gonna say is that you could totally fool someone into thinking this was mudhoney

DL: return of the zombie skate poets from planet sex

nirvana - 12.13.93 - pier 48 - seattle,wa

this was one of the band's final shows on american soil (the last one took place in oakland,ca on december 31)

you may remember seeing this on the mtv multiple times a day after kurt's suicide as this was the LIVE AND LOUD show they played on new year's eve (the breeders and cypress hill played as well)

i remember watching that night and seeing kurt decapitate an angel with his guitar and spit on a camera...and i remember thinking "kurt is the man,maaaan"

and then it was all over

i've said it before and i'll say it again...nirvana achieved a lot in a short amount of time

and you may be saying to yourself "ipecac? why was there nothing posted on the day of his death on SGM? don't you consider it part of your civic duty to commemorate such an occasion?"

and to that i say...if SGM did that...we would've just been like everyone else...do we seem like the kind of folks that try to fit in?...and really...it shouldn't take something like that to remember the man and the band...you should always remember that

go on...reach for the kleenex...i just dropped some pretty heavy science on you...it's ok

and now...without further ado...

help some brothas out

those folks would make up the band that is known as megachurch

or at least the special closet in the SGM basement

they all make appearances on this album

you know...the weather is getting nice...and the kids are out and about on their wheelie boards...what better time to post this business

nomeansno - 11.15.00 - fireside bowl - chicago,il

it's those crazy canucks doing what they do in front of a crowd

now...i don't know how many of you folks have ever attended a show at the fireside bowl...and depending on who you talk to...it's the midewest's version of cbgb's

i've been to a few shows there...and they were all pleasant experiences...but then again...i didn't really have to deal with any of the staff (from what i've read...dealing with them is about as fun as getting a staph infection)

back in 2004...they stopped having shows there and just stuck to being it's namesake...but as of last year...the shows have resumed

jack endino - angle of attack

released 1989

not only is he mr. grunge producer (producing albums for bands such as nirvana...gruntruck...green river...zeke...screaming trees...tad) and member of the band skin yard (guitarist)...he's also released 3 solo albums (this being the first)

he did vocals and practically played all of the instruments on the album (he was assisted by mother love bone drummer greg gilmore on a few tracks)

soundwise...it's exactly where the seattle sound was at the time

and what would you expect from a guy like jack endino?

würm - we're off 7"

released 1982

seeing as how today is chuck dukowski's birthday...you're all going to swallow the wurm (insert eye roll here)

some of you may not be all that familiar with this business

this is what chuck dukowski was involved in pre-black flag

and they're pretty much a straight up metal band (just listen to the balls to the wall scream that opens up the song "i'm dead")

yes..you read that right...i used the term "balls to the wall"

but you can also hear some of the flag in it as well

and there's a pretty sweet chambers brothers cover

bottoms up

DL: we're off

soundgarden - 9.11.92 - irvine meadows - irvine,ca

well....seeing as how the band will be embarking on a mini tour in july and going into the studio to record an album....what better time to post an old gig from the lollapalooza tour

and if you're expecting to go and see the band on any of the 4 dates on the tour...be expecting to pay some previously broken up band that got back together prices (they're going from anywhere between $119-$147)...and not only that...you can't buy just a ticket...you have to buy a pair...so that means that you'll have to go out and make one of those friend things

and here be the dates:

july 2: molson canadian amphitheatre - toronto,canada

july 13: festival pier at penn's landing - philadelphia,pa

july 18: red rocks amphitheatre - denver,co

july 22: the forum - los angeles,ca

so let's hope that their new recorded material takes us back to the days of flannel and bad hygiene

but until then....

the catalyst - swallow your teeth

released 2009

it took me mentioning them down yonder to realize that i hadn't posted this album yet

and if you're so inclined...you should also grab onto some of this action

in my posting of the band's other album...i had tossed around band names such as: the melvins...nirvana...pageninetynine

but this time around...you can hear some sonic youth and at the drive-in

so if all of that appeals to you...this is for you

if the words "grinding" and "plowing" and "clusterfuck" appeal to you...this is for you as well

and if you can find a song called "lars ulrich's 1986 funeral" appealing....

well...that's just wishful thinking

DL: swallow your teeth

jesuit - self-titled

released 1996

this post goes out to grAy

as you may have read a few spaces down...he was supposed to be seeing this very band doing a show with damnation a.d./indecision/unbroken in new york city

but as with all good plans...a large bird took a dump on it

this band may be a question mark to some of you folks out there

if you're a fan of anything 90's hardcore...this band is for you

if you like bands such as: converge (bassist nate newton was a member)...early dillinger escape plan (guitarist brian benoit was a member)....botch...deadguy...

you get the idea

and for those of you out there that are interested...the band will be playing BEST FRIENDS DAY 10 (august 18-21) in richmond,va (along with bands such as: corrosion of conformity...pageninetynine...the catalyst)

so get those khaki shorts out of the tupperware container and start practicing the mosh

Noxagt - Peel Session 07-14-04

Label: Bootleg
Year: 2004

The original three piece lineup (no to be confused with the original one piece lineup that predated it), captured by John Peel while on a European tour in 2004. Drums, bass, and viola...yes, viola that churn up a moody sludgy mix of Lightning Bolt meets Guapo meets Totimoshi. No vocals, if that bums you out, I don't know.
Highly recommended.
It might help lift your spirits after a disappointing Manchester Darby this morning.

Quicksand - Live 1995

Label: Bootleg
Year: 1995

Can anyone help identify where this recording comes from? I'm not even sure where I got it from, or how long I've had it, but there it was, and here it is.
In 1995 Quicksand released their second lp "Manic Compression", and played the inaugural Warped Tour (which was a strange amalgamation of the Revelation Records showcase vs. the nascent Orange County bro-punk jock rock contingent), so maybe this set was from a Warped Tour date? I saw them on that first Warped Tour (have I told this story before?), managing to scam about 15 free tickets from the college radio station I worked for saying I would give them away as prizes (to my friends). So me, and 14 friends took in the spectacle of Sublime fans being musically mocked by Sick Of It All, Into Another, Civ, Orange 9mm, Seaweed, Rancid (before they slipped to the dark side), and Quicksand. Weird scene indeed. At one point while administering some of my patented anti-moshing justice I got blindsided by a pro-mosher who then knelt over me in preparation to administer his own patented anti-anti-moshing justice when my knight in shining (neck) armor Jeff-J-Jawk came swooping in and tackled the broseph off of my chest, to the beat mind you, saving me from certain ass kicking. Like I said weird scene, I mean, why would anybody want to fight me, I'm super cool.

Torches To Rome - Torches To Rome

Label: Ebullition
Year: 1999

Can't go wrong with this record, especially now in the Spring time when it becomes necessary (Very Necessary....Salt N Pepa?) to roll down the car windows when cruising parking lots for wayward runaway chicks. The music has to be turned up just a bit louder to compensate for the wind, (and possible mask the sound of struggle) and this is one record that benefits from that increased volume.
The band was made up of personnel from: Fuel, John Henry West, Pinhead Gunpowder, Navio Forge, Portraits Of Past, Sawhorse, Bread And Circuits, Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack, The Skinflutes, Colbom...and I'm sure more. Lots more by now. The combination of late 80's Dischord styled post punk/emo mixed with late 90's post punk/emo was a winner then, and it stands the test of time. It just blazes straight out of the stereo like a Husker Du/Fugazi...sandwich? A sandwich that blazes out of the stereo? It'd be a pretty rad sandwich you have to admit, and the fact that it could transport itself from musical sound waves into an edible lunch item, I mean, that's pretty sweet.
Not to mention the lyrics are of a rare breed, evocative and powerful, but never pandering or sappy.
Super good shit. Maybe enough to make you reconsider your jail bait trolling and go get a sandwich.

Well, I was supposed to have been on a plane this morning heading to New York City to meet up with old friends and go to see Unbroken, Jesuit, Damnation ad, and Indecision, but real life reared its ugly and head, and those plans were dashed early this past week. It's a bummer to miss seeing friends you haven't seen in a coon's age, and surely the show itself would have been fun, but time rolls on and there will be other weekends to catch up or act like we're all 19 again. Maybe.

The silver lining to not going out of town is that I will be able to maybe, possibly, hopefully pull my fat ass out of the house to go down to the Earl in order to see Floor and Hawks, a double bill that is certainly one for the ages.

Is anyone reading this going to the show?

the melsidency

apparently they liked playing the residency game at the satellite because they're taking it on the road

2 nights per city

2 sets per night

night one's first set will be made up of stuff from the LYSOL and EGGNOG albums...and the second set will be HOUDINI in it's entirety

night two's first set will be the BULLHEAD album in it's entirety...and the second set will be the STONER WITCH album in it's entirety

so we here at SGM suggest you go out there and see this business...because they could stop touring at any minute

and do you want to be the person that doesn't see the melvins?

because if so...they have names for people like you....
