bonus-tunes : The Melvins - Ever Since My Accident from KEXP Kill Rock Stars began in 1991 as a way for founder Slim Moon to release spoken-word records with his friends, including Kathleen Hanna (who would go on to be the lead singer of Bikini Kill). Based out of Olympia, Washington, the label released their first major compilation of local artists as part of the [...]
I'm so sick, so sick of u. And of that awesome album I overplayed. The post Question Of The Week: I Don't Wanna Hear It Anymore appeared first on MetalSucks .

One expects a certain level of weirdness from The Melvins and frankly, after 30 years, they've certainly earned the right to follow whatever creative whims they choose. In fact, I find that they're often at their best when also indulging in their most "out there" impulses. One of my favourite albums of theirs is Prick , the experimental noise goof off that they released at the height of their mainstream popularity. So while weirdness is expected, their latest, Everybody Loves Sausages , shows that the band still are able to throw us a a bit of [...]
The Melvins teamed up with the amazing Scion A/V to release a new song available for free download, which is al the weirdness you'd expect from the band at this point and then some. Think a stranger version of Clutch for this one. "Dr. Mule" is seriously just like a new Clutch song with a ...

If I add up incidental listening at bars, the homes of family and friends, retail outlets and radio play in addition to the spins I've given my own formidable collection of albums and CDs, I reckon I've spent as much time listening to George Strait as any single musician. I'm fine with that. And I'm hardly alone. Billboard magazine just reported that the new release Love Is Everything is "Strait's 18th top 10 album on the Billboard 200" and is his 25th album to top the [...]
It’s Friday, which means everyone at Flavorwire central is getting pretty excited at the prospect of three whole days off, and also that it's time to round up the best songs we’ve heard this week. This week there's actual new music from Boards of Canada, a long-buried Talking Heads/Arthur Russell collaboration, new songs from Susanna (of Magical Orchestra renown), Cold Cave and Melvins, along with Scout Niblett deconstructing TLC, a whole mixtape from Inga Copeland, and plenty more. All this goodness is streaming now, and it all awaits you after the jump. Click through to listen! [...]

The Melvins are offering a stream and a download of a new song entitled "Dr. Mule." The song has been released as part of a compilation from Scion A/V, celebrating the company's tenth birthday. You can grab the song here .

The debut Fantomas album - Patton’s first major release since leaving Faith No More - was intended as a literal musical transcription of a comic book, one which the listener is not privy to, but instead has to decode in the stampeding drums, electric-shock guitar-bursts and gibbered vocals - all postmodern ‘KAPOW’s and ‘KERRUNCH!’s Delirium Cordia was a wordless opera based around an implied story about surgery sans anaesthesia. Suspended Animation tried to make a sonic cartoon about the month of April - each ‘song’ another Tom and Jerry-style japefest depicting an individual day, and sounding fairly accurately like Carl [...]
popsnacking : Melvins - Zodiac
This may be a covers album but it is still very much a Melvins record full of all of the weird, abrasive catchiness we have all come to expect from them. - By Michael B. Hayden
As part of The Orchard's Creative Licensing team, we're always on the hunt for interesting covers. This month, we've assembled a playlist of some of of our favorite discoveries from the past year, including Albert Hammond, Jr. of The Strokes taking on the Big Star power-pop classic "Thirteen;" The Dandy Warhols' ...

Cover albums are always a tricky thing; to take a collection of songs that have already been done and putt one’s own spin on the overall sound of the track can be exceptionally hit or miss. Still, The Melvins are not exactly known for shying away from many “tricky things.” In fact, as the band [...]
