Excellent timing on Dave's part. See you there. Taxi service is available if you're interested...

That might work well for us considering our car got towed away last night! I'll text you later in the day.

I had never seen this until last night. This is gunning for a spot on my top-10 "If I had a time machine, I would go watch these shows" list. Jesus. Melvins playing a Big Business tune to boot (did they do this routinely back then?).

First time I've heard of the Melvins playing a BB track. Interesting. I looked at some of their past setlists and they did it one other time in 2006 and once in 2007. So it was rare, for sure.

Anyways, here's the first review of 'Hold It In'

Wait, what? I can't see this on my phone. Holy shit.

Let's all be honest: BB have sucked since their God-tier album.

I suggest everyone listens to "THE MAGGOT" in its glorious entirety right now.

It's a devastatingly good album. The first that made me realise how incredible The King and SNIVLEM are.

It's hard to choose favourites with their albums, but this is a rare beast in all the albums I've listened to in my life. It's dark without being vulgar; intense without insisting on itself.

Unbelievable. And I mean that in the very sense of the word. There's something very unique about this one.

Whoa.

I do like that preview though.

Don't like the title of track 5 'Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad,' not something I want to think about.

Wow, that's some seriously bad cover art.

I like it, too. Sounds nasty. Well, I've got like $.77 credit remaining at the iTunes store from an Xmas gift card like 3 years ago so what the hell..

Previews sound excellent. Looking forward to this.

I agree the artwork is a little meh - not Mackie's finest hour. That said, most Melvins artwork comes across much better when you have it in front of you.

It seems like something a twee indie band would do to seem quirky. Not sure how much that would improve by having it in front of me.

I'm more referring to the remainder of the artwork, not just the cover.
