Show Notes

THE MELVINS GET EVEN WEIRDER!  We start season two with bassist Don White (Ice Troll) to dig into what Wikipedia claims is The Mevlins’ most experimental album.  Were they releasing steam that they had built up having to kowtow to their overlords at Atlantic Records? Why don’t the Melvins want you to understand what they are saying?  Who was a worse act for them to open for, Kiss, Rush, or Primus? How hard is it for us to pronounce the letters BTK? What other answering machine messages have been turned into classic songs?  Did Liza Minelli play bass for the Melvins? Who hasn’t played bass for the Melvins? Tune in as we work through all of this and more on the season two premiere episode of Detours and Outliers.
