Looking for a Thrill: Got 5 hours?

Friday, April 6th, 2007

This 2 disc DVD from Thrill Jockey is a couple years old, but packed FULL of interesting interviews (112 different musicians to be exact). The roster is long and i’ll link to a few REAL reviewers insights below. The interviews are one on one personal reflections/recollections lead by one question “to tell a story about a musical moment that inspired” Check out this pretty nice plunderphonic style video below and then make some popcorn.

The Talking Horse: Don’t Fuck with the Melvins!

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Fresh off the release of their new wicked badass toy comes this creepy fun video for The Talking horse, from their Ipecac (Mike Patton’s label) release of 2006.

Nothing new really from the Melvins, just the same ass dragging ear busting metal sludge they are best known for. There is something to be said for consistency, and longevity, and the Melvins have really provided us with both of those things. In the words of the man Buzz himself here is a great description of the entity

The Melvins are family entertainment on another level. Some people say The Melvins are the wave of the future. Some people think The Melvins have already influenced a huge wave of music on a global level but most people expect The Melvins to totally fuck up. Most people think they should be called “The Fucks” because they’re fucked.
