The Melvins were the first base post-punk dance orchestra to make whoopie in the slow, sludgy sounds of Black Sabbath. Their music is oppressively sluggish and heavy, only when without any of the whacky mystic lyrics or the indulgent guitar solos -- it's simply one monumental, seepage mound of black gook. The Melvins' first base book was released in 1987; they've released several albums since and so, merely it wasn't until 1993 that they went to a major label, thanks to their protégé, Kurt Cobain. While the Melvins seat be dull and repetitive, their seat in rock music history is interesting, even if it is just a modest footer. The band formed in Aberdeen, WA, the same town that produced Nirvana's Cobain and Krist Novoselic. For Nirvana and many other Seattle-area bands, the Melvins' muck was inspirational; the younger bands took the Sabbath-styled thickness of the Melvins, spell adding an every bit significant bug out song dynasty social organization, which the group tended to deficiency. While all of their disciples became famous after Nirvana skint prominent in 1991 (including Mudhoney, world Health Organization featured other Melvin bassist Matt Lukin), the Melvins only expanded their furor slightly. They did earn a major-label contract with Atlantic, just later on cathartic three records for the label, they were dropped in recent 1996 and the group returned to indie status, landing place with Amphetamine Reptile for 1998's Alive at the F*cker Club. The late '90s/early 21st c saw a snow flurry of releases by the band: The Maggot, The Bootlicker, The Crybaby, Electroretard, The Colossus of Destiny, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Pigs of the Roman Empire, Erik Weisz Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust and Senile Animal, all of which (except for the fourth one) were issued on Mike Patton's Ipecac label. In addition to their Melvin activities, singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne united Patton (and former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn) for the observational outfit Fantômas, resulting in a couple of releases (1999's self-titled debut and 2001's The Director's Cut), patch the Melvins' latest bassist, Kevin Rutmanis, united Patton in some other side contrive, Tomahawk.

Party Girl Lily Allen Quits Drinking

Lily Allen has quit drinking since arriving in Los Angeles in preparation for her new album.
Despite hooking up with fellow notorious party girl Lindsay Lohan shortly after arriving in LA earlier this week, a source reports she’s on a strict regime as she prepares to record the follow up to her smash hit debut LP ‘Alright Still’.
They tell The Mirror, “Lily hasn't touched a drop of booze since landing and has been booking workouts.
But the record company have had one grumble. Lily was originally booked to stay in modest apartments but didn't like the look of them, so she upgraded to a deluxe bungalow
in the Chateau Marmont hotel.
"Until, that is, the label got wind of it and shunted her into the regular hotel."

Sex And The City - Can Niche Audience Make Sex And The City A Hit

Analysts are sharply divided over whether New Line's Sex and the City will
benefit from or be hurt by its avid female fan base, the Los Angeles Times observed
today (Thursday). "It's easier to find $2-a-gallon gas than a straight man eager
to see the movie," the Times commented. On the other hand, some thirtysomething
women "are organizing ladies' night viewing parties" around the film. While some
analysts are forecasting an opening weekend of around $40 million, others are predicting a
figure of half that amount. A lot depends on whether younger women (the film is rated
R, so the very young are excluded from screenings) join their elders at the multiplex,
the Times suggested, noting that interest among that group is growing.
