HOUDINI LIVE: A LIVE HISTORY OF GLUTTONY AND LUST
Melvins
Ipecac, 2006Back when I lived in San Francisco (1992-2000) I used to frequent this bar called Dr. Bombay's on 16th street in the Mission. I was introduced to the gin gimlet by a brazen trollop named Sarah. They had a jukebox in there with the Melvins' Houdini CD on it which I thought was pretty cool. That record included a cover of Kiss' Goin' Blind, which is possibly the weirdest Kiss song ever. "I'm 93, you're 16..." You dig? Kiss was one of the reasons I started playing bass in the first place. Whenever I go into bars now I tend to feel like I'm 93. It couldn't have turned out more perfect.
