Hook of the Day - Melvins "Revolve"

Oh man...last night's Melvins/Big Business show at Reggie's in Chicago was a real barnburner! My favorite moment in a set full of them, King Buzzo and company played my favorite Melvins tune...."Revolve" from the excellent Stoner Witch album.

Hook of the Day - Mastodon "The Bit (live)"

by Wayne

Okay, I'm not going to lie to you....this is excellent. The mighty Mastodon playing "The Bit" by the mighty Melvins at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA on October 11th, 2008. If this doesn't make your bull run, there's nothing we can do for you.

Cheers!

Hook of the Day - Big Business "Grounds for Divorce"

by Wayne Graham

A couple of years ago, I was the Double Door waiting for High on Fire to come out and lay waste to the joint, and out comes two guys--one bass player, one drummer---who called themselves Big Business. The crowd was ornery and BB had some work ahead of them......and they absolutely slayed! They had a tougher time when I caught them again opening for Tool, opening for Tool can be dangerous water...but BB played great then, too.

As you may know, these guys have also joined The Melvins as their new bass player and second drummer, so if it's good enough for Buzzo, it's plenty good for the rest of us! From a Chicago Double Door show opening for The Melvins last fall, here's "Grounds for Divorce" from their fantastic Here Come The Waterworks album. Thanks to thinkerthought for uploading!

Hook of the Day - Melvins "Hooch"

by Wayne Graham

All that Mike Patton talk yesterday made me think of Fantomas. Thinking of Fantomas made me think of Buzz Osbourne, which made me think of the Melvins. Thinking of the Melvins made me think of little else.

Here's "Hooch" from their Houdini album. You should own this record, if you don't already.
