Alas! I have just returned from Seattle whereupon I travelled to revel in the gospel of Buzzo, Jared, Kody, and Dale. The Showbox in Seattle right down on Pike St. is simply terrific as a venue. Melvins people are among the coolest of metal show attendees. The mosh pit was out of this world, but managed to maintain a good vibe whereas a Slayer or Motorhead show generally draws a terrifying blitzkrieg of violent aggression. What this has to do with movies? Nothing. Except, according to Diablo Cody (screenwriter of "Juno") those who enjoy the films of Herschell Gordon Lewis also are Melvins fans. I am both a fan of Lewis and the Melvins and I don't appreciate these prized entities being name dropped in a movie containing more than six Kimya Dawson songs on the soundtrack...cringe. In any case, the Melvins killed it and Buzzo is God.
