melvins - the houdini demos

ah,the band's first steps into the mainstream.
though it was more like "mainstream".
yeah.

gather 'round,kids. there's a story a-brewin'!
the year was 1995. i was living with my then girlfriend and her parents. she was still in high school,you see (she was a senior),and apparently seniors in high school still lived at home back then. one day there was a family function that needed to be attended and seeing as how i wasn't family i was to be dropped off somewhere for a few hours (her parents were afraid that i'd take the opportunity to do some snooping whilst i was there alone but the house didn't really hold any secrets. their daughter had given them up. i already knew about the suitcase under the bed). so i was given a $20 bill and dropped off in front of the movie theater where i was to see 12 MONKEYS. that money (or me) didn't even make it inside the front door. as soon as they were around the corner and out of sight i took off to the music store. and to make a not so long story short: i left the store with a cassette copy of HOUDINI. it was yellow. i also bought a soda at a gas station on the walk back to the movie theater. it was a coke.
