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

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


released 1994

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...
