Dear Dunn,
What are your views on Tomahawk? You’re a part of the band but not originally. I’ve only listened to the first two albums with Rutmanis, and I owe them with helping me get into Bungle’s first two albums. Rut, for what it’s worth, is my favorite of the Melvins bassists. Never thought Bungle would play in my lifetime and yet I’m going to Brooklyn Steel for a show—I’ll be 18 then. Word.
