Yep the melvins were supporting primus, but also part of the soundwave festival. Which btw despite the usually awesome line ups, I never been to, as its on or very close to my wedding anniversary.

Another cool Melvins influenced band Boris are on their way back. They should be worth seeing if you can.

Never heard finntroll, will have to check them out

Finntroll are finnish folk metal - very different to melvins but I like them.

Not overly serious but definitely not a parody act either.

I think friends of mine are supporting Boris (Laura) so I might try and get along.
 
At the risk of offending metal heads everywhere (and I still consider myself one), I dont think you can take yourself too seriously playing metal. Especially IMO, when donning the corpse paint, or machine gun bullet belts when on stage.

I will also have to check out Laura when watching Boris, what are they like?

Vim: I don't think you CAN be very funny about metal.

Colin: Well, I think YOU can, every time you pick up a ruddy guitar, you frightful thing!

Finntroll play it as it should be - tight, musically diverse drinking songs based around the mythology of trolls and Christians in Scandinavia. Trollhammaren is my favourite clip that shows this side but they have a more recent, animated clip that is great too. Extreme metal with an animated video clip shows they are not playing eternally with serious mode on.

early Laura reminds me of of some of the quieter but intense instrumental moments of 90s Swans mixed with god speed you black emperor.

They seem to be introducing more and more lyrical content which I'm less a fan of but they are still good - diverse, tight, emotive (without being emo).

All this stuff is youtubable (which obviously doesn't give a complete sense of either live or recorded and listened to properly but you can get an indication.

Nice WB

Got some George Benson going ATM
 
All this talk of parody/not so serious metal earlier on in the day made me thank **** I had some Zimmers Hole in the car after a seriously long day:



And its true kids, glam rock can suck a cock, and is strictly for the closet gay. The song "thats how drunks drink" should be appreciated here:



Also, I wonder if they sampled the gay porno on turbonegro's first album or they both had it?


And I nearly forgot this....Metallica (either them or KISS) seemed to have erased from history a choice track.....not on rereleases of the album and very hard to find online, all for 15 seconds of "Napster, Napster, Where's the cash that I've been after?":




A lot of the best metals out there is in that vein, GWAR, 3 inches of blood, gamabomb ect. My phone kept on putting out a few songs in the way to serious side of things and I just kept thinking......****, someone make this dude a bunch of anzac biscuits or something.....

Finntroll unter bergens rot:

Trollhammaren:

Laura:



That's obviously live, recorded through someone's mobile phone and put on youtube so sound quality is horrendous but if interested, you can click on links that are recorded and find better quality samples building up from there.

I have been bumping Premier mixes in my pimp whip (a 99 camry wagon) and I keep playing "P" is Still Free.

Cure: The kiss.

Kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth

Love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out

Get it out get it out get it out
Get your ******* voice
Out of my head

I never wanted this
I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead

I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
Dead
Dead
Dead

Ah nostalgia. Good for the old.
 
Trigger The Bloodshed.

Goes nicely with the thunder storm currently under way here. Actually, it drowns it out.

Have got the record player up and running for the first time since moving and am kicking out the jams with the MC5 in honour of Michael Davis who passed away on the weekend. Had the pleasure of seeing this guy play at the DKT MC5 shows they did in Melbourne a few years ago and despite Evan Dando trying to **** it up for everyone, it was one of my favorite gigs I've been to. RIP.
 
Cure: shiver and shake

Good to remember the band as more than just a pop prince with a double chin and make-up. For a mainstream band, they once had some edge.

You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a ******* waste
You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly
You're useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless
Down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore

And I shiver and shake
Shiver and shake
