The Melvins' Buzz Osborne in the Seattle Weekly.

1.Really get to work on figuring out what it is I'm to be doing for the rest of my life. I hear that Boeing may be hiring, so maybe I could be a welder, or maybe a top-brass CEO or something. I've screwed around for far too long, and I need to be thinking about the future. Hell, I'm in my 40s, so I'm expected to hit a "midlife crisis" about now, aren't I? I could get divorced and start hitting on teenagers.

2. Get some kind of "hot rod" and…

The best show I've ever seen. Here Buzz had joined Flipper for Sacrifice. Coady of Big Business and Dale also joined. It was quite bizar and the Melvins were the best that night. I feel euphorically and weird now.

On this terrible Sunday with a weird hangover I'm very glad Flipper has been added to the Melvins show at the Scala in London on December 11. Usually I don't go to London to attend concerts as I live in Holland, but since I was already going to the amazing ATP festival in England, the choice to go to see the Melvins and Big Business the Monday after the ATP weekend was easily made.

I also realized today I own nothing tangible by Flipper which is a goddamn shame actually, considering the huge amounts of money I make and how…

That's it, just another show off of how good I am.

In the meantime, check out the brand new edition of Melvins bringing Civilized Worm, from their new album A Senile Album, to Seattle.

The first photos of the Melvins - now joined by the guys from Big Business - are dripping in. All these photos were taken by Jim (http://www.tastelikedirt.com) at the show in Sacramento, CA, September 6.

2006 is Touch & Go's 25'th birthday and a local filmmaker, Jamie Fleischel of Picture Show Films, recently completed this documentary on the life of the label.

Fleischel sits down with Pegboy, Jeff Mueller (Rodan, June of 44, Shipping News), Steve Albini (Big Black, Shellac), Jon Langford (Mekons) and Brian McMahan (Slint, The For Carnation) to get a better idea of the relationships between our artists and ourselves. Corey Rusk also chimes in on the early days and his personal attachment to music.

Two years old, and funny too, considering these guys are in the Melvins now since only recently, and have a full album coming out as a four-piece this October already.

"I think as a kid growing up in a small town, you're looking for total obliteration," says Coady Willis, the brick-fisted drummer for the gigantic-sounding Seattle twosome Big Business. We're sitting in the Canterbury and after a couple drinks he's reaching back to that magic moment in time when you discover a band that throws your entire childhood record collection on the bonfire and sets you aflame…
