The Melvins have announced dates for their 30th anniversary tour of North America. Meanwhile, Spin is streaming the band’s new cover album, Everybody Loves Sausages, accompanied by track-by-track commentary from Buzz Osborne.
Congrats to Melvins Lite, who completed their 51 States in 51 Days tour last night in Hawaii! (Though the tour appears neither to be a Guinness World Record nor entirely unprecedented.)

Last night in Anchorage, Alaska, the Melvins launched their Guinness world record attempt to play all 50 states and D.C. in 51 consecutive days. (Pictured: drummer Dale Crover with an Alaskan fan.) Tonight, they rock Seattle.

We’re driving. It’d be easy for Morrissey to get in his private jet and do it. If that was the case we would do four states a day.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has postponed a 15-city solo tour of the U.S. after treatments to repair temporary nerve damage to his right arm proved unsuccessful, it was announced on PearlJam.com on Thursday.

The main thing about that [1989 Nirvana/TAD] tour was just laughing. It was always, ‘What could we do that would be funny?’ Like somehow they got hold of some Arnold Schwarzenegger exercise video, and Kurt Cobain made a cassette tape of Arnold Schwarzenegger saying things like ‘Sexy, slim waist’ over and over. During some of the shows, my instructions were that whenever there was a gap between songs, I would bring this cassette in, so between Nirvana songs you’d hear Arnold Schwarzenegger going, ‘Sexy, slim waist.’
