I'd say Boris deserves to be bigger than either one >_>

[summer]

HMM to be quite honest, I cannot, seeing as I have not heard much Melvins, thus far.. I just thought it was a cute and cheeky comparison seeing as Boris got their name from a Melvins song, and all, y'know.. Melvins I have heard was pretty nice, though. Should probably look into an album or two. I still stand by Flood being better than most music, though. Just cause the second track is awesome.

It's not their best album by any stretch of the imagination. There are songs on it that are not so brilliant, but overall it stands as a good 80's pop record with catchy tunes, choruses etc.

listen to houdini + stag. those 2 are my favs. ALL of it is good, though.

Funny you should bring up Melvins. I have been on an extereme Melvins kick for the past few months. I have always loved and respected thier music, but you have to let it kind of grow on you. When my husband used to play the Houdini disc ALL the time back in the day, I just didn't understand it. Then one day.... I found myself singing "Going Blind" and I had to listen to it over and over until I had memorized every lyric. That was it for me. I am now a die hard Melvins fan. I 'm into the "Nude With Boots" album right now. Gonna play it 'till every one around me gets sick of hearing it.

Aside from bits of III and Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin bores the shit out of me these days. I still respect them, but I have no desire to listen to them ever again.

- musically, les savy fav is one of the best bands around (mindblowing guitarist); too bad they'll never be taken seriously because of their singer.

- system of a down's first album is easily one of the best albums ever made... it's just brilliant. Truly unique songwriting. Occasionally goes into simplistic, boring tuned-to-mud-sharp one-finger riffs but it's sandwhiched between so many truly amazing riffs that it's okay. THe song "Soil" has to be in my top 20 favorite songs of all time. WHYTHEFUCKDIDYOUTAKEHIMAWAYFROMUSYOUMOTHERFUCKERS?

- Videodrone's "Jesus (Lord of the Apes)" is one of the creepiest songs ever

- (hEd)pe have a lot of good songs...

- The 5 or 6 people that compromise the Fire on Fire/Cerberus Shoal/Big Blood family are better than all the other "freak folk" bands combined.

- Gastr Del Sol is still way too underrated... mostly just remembered as a weird little indie footnote, "oh, jim o rourke and that guy from bastro's band.. whatever." kinda bullshit.

- Thinking Fellers Union Local # 282 are better than Sonic Youth

- Truman's Water are too good; they're so brilliant that it's difficult to listen to one album because there's so much to take in. It actually hurts to listen to them. Their music is like a reubik's cube.

- Squarepusher dude is a melodic genius.

- Venetian Snares dude is actually kinda boring. He's got some brilliant moments and I think his releases are getting better as of late, as he's introduced some simple melodies, but honestly most of his early shit is kinda boring.. just some guy with a bit too much time on his hand, manipulating gabber beats and not doing anything too remarkable with 'em. And he has released about 10,000 albums too many.

bryceville, fl? is that a weird take on niceville? j/k.

probally not.

Believe it or not it is a real town. We have a population of 500 if we're lucky. Down town consists of an old 1940's style gas staion, a fire station, a school and a southern Baptist church.

I want to see the Melvins Live! No one worth listnening to ever comes around these parts.

And yes the percussion is fucking awesome!

Close.
We are on the east side of the panhandle, about 40 miles or so from the Atlantic ocean and 15 miles south of the Georgia state line. It is a very beautiful and unusual place to exist in. I can live in the country and still be close enough to the beach to have a classic Florida tan.

I bitch too much. We do have some decent shit come in to Jacksonville Beach. Hank III & Assjack are coming on Sunday and I already have tickets!
I was also lucky enough to be present at a Duff McKagan's Loaded (The Duff from Guns n Roses) show that was held at Jax Beach back in April. It was Phenomenal. It has been a good year. If only the Youth would come back down here.

+++ i kinda wanted to see loaded, wasnt able to make it though. i hate g+r but have always had an massive amount of respect for duff. esp. for the person he is these days. hes always kept a certain "punk rock" sensibilty axl lacked.

I grew up on GnR and I have to admit that is what attracted me to the show initially, but it is REALLY GOOD STUFF. They have a great punk sound to them and they don't sound like GnR. Duff was one of the founding members so of course he is going to bring his past influences to the table, but he appears to take no pride in flaunting the GnR status. I got to meet him and he was a really nice guy. He hung out in the bar and talked with all of the fans for literally hours. For someone that was so fucked up back then he seems to have a really good handle on things.

Axl's voice is awesome, but Duff's has more heart. I like Chinese Democracy, but since I have been listening to Loaded it kind of sickens me that Axl is still making all this money from a band he pretty much forced the founding members out of. I don't listen to it much anymore (Just the 2 songs I reallly like).

That's a Kiss song you know.

Here's an unpopular one round here. From 74 til 77 Kiss were one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time. You name them, Kiss were probably better than them.

That wouldn't have blown my mind so much if Crimson weren't at the end. What gives?
