This week I met up with Buzz Osborne aka King Buzzo from the band THE MELVINS  for a chat about the 1982 monster madness that is John Carpenters THE THING. We also chat about the music of the Melvins, touring & of course his history with horror & he even decides on which is the most 'horror' of the Melvins' songs.

Episode 101- Dale Crover! Crover is best known as the drummer for Melvins, and has also been the drummer for Men of Porn, Shrinebuilder, Crystal Fairy, and, for a brief time, Nirvana. He is the guitarist and vocalist for Altamont as well as the Dale Crover Band. He has also toured with Fantômas (filling in for Dave Lombardo), Off!, and Redd Kross. He has a new solo record out now and the Melvins have a new record coming out on Feb 26 titled “Working with God.”  Dale has a great sense of humor and I laughed a lot in this episode. I hope you guys enjoy it too!
