Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and grrrls, dogs, cows and other species, welcome to my shitty blog. Who Cares Right!?! is officially unpublished music fanzine by me. It concentrates on reviewing music. Our goal is to make people say "Golly jeepers!" to how much music can a 1 person take. Our dear mr critic, Fringe, will do all the reviewing. If he cannot do atlest one review in a week, we put him to a box, having nothing but gruel and mustard to eat till he finishes atleast the one dang review. His english may suck at times since he has no real education on it. He somehow learned english by watching Cartoon Network when he was little. He'll review everything from official albums to bootlegs, rarities and oddities... anything.

Review #14 - Melvins - Love Canal/Someday (Single)


Year: ?
Genre: -
Label: Slap A Ham Records
Tracks: 2
My rating: 7/8

The Melvins, another band who you can't just put in one musical categorie. They can play really heavy, noisy stuff or as they started as a hardcore punk rock band. Anyway these two songs on the single are both by San Francisco based gods, Flipper. I don't know which year was this released. Some sources wrote this was released in 1990, some others state 1992, so i'm not sure about that. Mainstream audience proboably knows Flipper better written on Kurdt Kobain's sweater than because of their music. I think Buzz Osborne of the Melvins was the one who introduced Flipper to Nirvana. Flipper was a huge influence to both of those bands. Buzz with Krist and Dave from Nirvana would form a band called Melvana, who i think only played for one night and they only played Flipper covers. The Melvins did cover quite a few of their songs aswell and heres 2 of them:

1. Love Canal (Side A)
Love that noisy sound of the Flipper songs and the way Melvins can "recreate" that sound is totally awesome. This one is just bit slower and dronier. Dale Crover is proboably the heaviest drummer there is. What ever that means. Just really slow beat, but he hits them hard and with perfect timing. The chorus "Love canaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal" is sung with an "echo voice" if you know what i mean. Some parts of the chous on Flipper's version had that too. Not as angry as the original, but pretty much as satisfying. Nothing like hearing a song as fucked up as your mind is when you feel like everything is just fake bullshit.

2. Someday (Side B)
I actually heard this version by the Melvins before i heard the original one. The chorus is sung a bit differently than how Flipper singer Bruce Loose sings it. Also the last verse has different lyrics than in the original one. The song fits with the Melvins really well. Have to say comparing this to the original one, the vocals are more angryer than here and even though Buzz does great job, he just has that little something missing here, but it's just that it's not his song.

    Their version of "Someday" is really cool! I think they didn't realize that the studio had flooded with water when they were recording "Love Canal", though -- amazing it didn't totally destroy all of their equipment in the process, eh?! The Melvins always do really good covers. :-)
