Arguably not for the casual Mudhoney fan, this single will appeal to the Mudhoney completist we should all aspire to become. Up for pre-order at SubPop.com. (at Sub Pop HQ)

“New World Charm” was recorded during the Vanishing Point sessions. The B-sides are “Swimming in Beer” and “The Swimming in Beer Blues,” different versions of the theme song Mudhoney wrote for the short-lived Discovery Channel series Brew Masters. Out May 7. (More info here.)

“Ann and Nancy Wilson [of Heart] were nothing but huge supporters of the local music scene. Kelly [Curtis, Mother Love Bone’s manager] brought Ann down to the Central to see Andy [Wood] play. Andy got a can of beer, took a big swig out of it, and just shook it up and threw it on Ann. Doused her in beer. She got this horrifically shocked look on her face, and looked up as if to say, ‘What the hell?’ And Andy just smiled at her and winked. She got the biggest grin on her face.”

—former DJ/journalist Jeff Gilbert, from Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s Faithfull Ale, brewed in honor of Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary

Probably my favorite Reading [1992] memory was later on in the day. Mark Lanegan goes, ‘Hey, let’s go to the beer tent and get some beer!’ We were walking there, and I could tell Mark was being really careful about the mud and stuff. All of the sudden, he trips on the tent wire and goes face-first. Doesn’t even put out his arms—just boom, down. Head-to-toe covered in mud.

It’s here: Sweet Young Thing Ain’t Sweet No More Mega Honey Brown Ale from the Burnt Hickory Brewery. 8% ABV. Label by illustrator/Thrown Ups singer Ed Fotheringham. (Unfortunately, the brewery says it’s a “tribute” beer, only available “via members of the band.”)

Something I’d learned was that you can’t drink beer and play Melvins stuff. It just isn’t going to work out. What was so great about the first Mudhoney practice was that I downed a 12-pack and was still able to play through the songs. I’m like, Oh, this is easy! Although it wasn’t as easy as I thought, because I remember at one point Mark was complaining, “How can you and Dan [Peters] not get this? It’s the simplest thing, and you both come from bands that play intricate stuff.
