Melvins were always one of those bands I felt I should like more than I do. They have fun merch and great record covers and work with great labels, yet their music is just a muffled fart on a snare drum to me. Maybe I just haven't encountered the right record yet? God knows they have a deep enough catalog that there has to be something I'd like, right?
More trenchant insights tomorrow, I swear!

It's a damn shame Buzz was hanging out with Gavin Mcinnes on his podcast a few years ago
We part ways here a little. I love this stuff. Listening on Youtube now. The download link didn't seem to work. It sounds corny now but them having a woman bassist playing this kind of music was still a pretty cool thing in the late 80s early 90s imho. I mean yeah, it's mostly tuneless riffing, but it's the texture of it I like with Dale's drumming so open and the sometimes proggy quality of Buzzo's riffing. And then the slow parts. So slow, so sludgy. A little while back I picked up a 2017 reissue of Ozma from 1989 at Celebrated. Listening to it now. Some tracks from there on the Your Choice Live Series. Need to go listen to those other Boner releases, lol.
@JM: yeah, what a drag. But not entirely surprising.
@carl: try to download now. I guess I forgot to add the DL URL.
