-VCavallo

you are correct. But didn't Tomahawk play this show too? I know I saw Mike Patton perform on this night! In fact, I don't think the Trevor Dunn band played at all. - MPrindle

== Lyrics ==
I lay like you

I feel the same

Eye flys like you

In touch between

In fact it's moon

Don't blame the rain

That brings you here

And ask yourself

To prove that you're able

To be brave

Here She Comes Now/Venus in Furs

2008-12-18T18:41:31Z

'''"Here She Comes Now"/"Venus in Furs"''' is a split 7" single with [[Nirvana]], released in June 1991.

Tri-Fold Sleeve, Communion Label (Comm 23)

Both tracks are [[Velvet Underground]] covers, and the cover art parodies the album cover art from which the tracks first appeared: the Melvins-side resembles the cover of ''[[The Velvet Underground and Nico]]'' and the Nirvana-side resembles ''[[White Light/White Heat]]'', both from 1967.

The Melvins' side seems to be a statement regarding their feelings towards the Velvet Underground: immediately after the first line, the song devolves into tuneless noise, which it remains for the duration of the track.

The single was limited to 1000 copies and was available in 8 different colors.

There are most likely just 1000 total copies, but I've read something that makes it seem like there could be 1000 copies of each color. Available colors include: black, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, grey, pink, light purple, dark purple, red, and yellow. Additional colors may have also been pressed, including orange which may have been given to the band members. There are counterfeits of this available as well that are black vinyl, I think they came out of Australia.

"amazon" (Osborne) – 0:50 
"amazon" (Osborne) – 0:51

Originally from '''''[[The Maggot (album)|The Maggot]]''''', 1999.

The song's intro, in which a band member sings Bob Dylan's '60s folk rock classic "Mr. Tambourine Man" in a silly off-key voice, may be a reference to Nirvana's "Territorial Pissings," which begins with Kris Novoselic doing the same thing with The Youngbloods' '60s folk rock classic "Get Together."

==Lyrics==
''"Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me." 
"O.K."''

Understand that you've gotta be givin' me a 
I got nothing but I'm gonna be givin' you 
Expect I have forgetten ev...er, no-one 
It's repeater better wanna be beatin' you 
It's a call that your gonna be goin' nowhere.

"Jew Boy Flower Head" (Osborne) – 6:06

The title is presumably a play on the Didjits' "Killboy Powerhead."

Originally from '''''[[The Bootlicker (album)|The Bootlicker]]''''', 1999.

==Lyrics==
Liar 
Lies on and anyway 
Leader 
He cannot forget 
The world needs now 
And anyway I hate it 
Leave it on the floor 
The seer 
Lies on and anyway 
Maybe 
Attach it to the wall 
The world needs now 
And anyway the crosses 
It's later than you think

We all need 
An old and all 
Lately 
He cannot forget 
Holding out 
And everywhere 
I seen it 
And we can all belong 
The wheel 
Sized up and everything 
And feeling 
Back against the wall 
The world is now 
A motor, yeah 
The native 
We are not alone
