I'm still not to sure what I think about this, but you know what... the Melvin's will always will be one of my favorites band, so I will continue to follow them on their long strange journey because they have yet to let me down. It looks like artists such as Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth and Merzbow have remixed tracks which should make for an interesting listening experience. The Melvins are also coming back to town as mentioned before in a previous post with Down August 11th at the Showbox Sodo!! Here is the press release info for this new remix record:
The Melvins will release "Chicken Switch", a 15-song remix cd with a twist, on Sept. 29 via Ipecac Recordings. Unlike usual remix cds where the remixer is given a single track to work with, for Chicken Switch each remixer was given a full album to work with and pull from to create their track (and in some cases, more than one full album was used as source material). The song names were also newly selected by their remixer.

What gets me is watching Buzz hair over the past 15 years. There was the little ribbon of gray in the middle. Then, it just gradually grew larger. Now, it's a big gray bush on his head. They kick ass. Zodiac and gluey porch treatments is still my favorits.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask you a question. Did I meet you at the Green River show in Portland OR at Dante's? It was back in Nov. 08. Were you there? You look familiar from that show.
Hey Dustin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! His hair should be one of the 7 wonders of the world or something like that, it is awesome! I've been spinning Eggnog alot since I found it on 10". I wasn't at that show unfortunetly but I was at the Seattle show. I haven't been able to get down to PDX as much I want for shows, but all that will change come Muscifest NW this year. Cheers!
