Melvins album of the week: The Bootlicker - crisp, magic, mysterious POP. Dale's drums and little percussion gestures are smooth, subtle and righteous and further proof of his unparalleled artistry and mastery. if you don't know any of the 'vins stuff on Ipecac, i suggest downloading "The Green Manalishi With The Two-Pronged Crown,"Hankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995158278551531136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931719.post-1096869233337421162004-10-03T22:51:00.000-07:002004-10-03T22:53:53.336-07:00OctisHankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995158278551531136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931719.post-1095780231807660702004-09-21T08:22:00.000-07:002004-09-21T08:23:51.806-07:00new Blow Goes link here and to the right.

am pretty disappointed w/ the new Mastodon album. it always strikes me as kind of silly when a band reads a book (in this case, Moby Dick) and appropriates the imagery, words, themes thereof wholesale; song titles like "I Am Ahab" border on the ridiculous if you ask me. not to mention the fact that the music is lackluster, just a bunch of stapled-together Hankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995158278551531136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931719.post-1094492224898768342004-09-06T10:35:00.000-07:002004-09-06T10:37:04.896-07:00hello. practices have resumed, and Joe and i are happy to be moving molecules of sound around. shows soon.
