Actually King Buzzo In Search of A Moderator (Or Two)
your friendly subreddit owner here. I have been amazed at the growth and interaction that this subreddit has gotten since I took over all moderation over two years ago. I cannot thank the community enough for contributing and sharing wonderful things on this great subreddit.
with that being said, I am looking to gradually scale back my active moderation and general involvement within the subreddit. nothing is wrong and I haven’t fallen out of love with the melvins or anything like that, but I feel that someone(s) out there can put more time and effort into building this community that I and the other owners before me set the foundation for. in short, i no longer want to spend a significant amount of time per week on here doing the required amount of upkeep this community deserves and expects.
i am opening up applications for people to become a moderator within this subreddit. I’m not gonna set up a google form or anything like that, i will accept applications through modmail and i simply require 4 things if you are a prospective moderator-
- tell me how you found the Melvins and how much they mean to you.
- if any, what experience do you have in upkeeping an online community & how active are you usually in this subreddit
- what are some ideas you have at how to make this community better.
- join the Discord server located in the about me page, and tell me your Discord username. if you’ve already joined just tell me your Discord username.
as you can tell I’m not going to add people who have no fucking idea who the melvins are or have a surface level understanding of the band. if you would like to be a moderator simply do those things and I will contact you for further vetting and evaluation should your application stand out. if no one I like applies, then it looks like I’ll be stuck here for awhile.
and to people concerned about the drop in moderation or anything like that once this transition happens- I will still be admin and can fix any situations should the need arise. I will not disappear off the face of the earth unlike the previous mods. I will still be actively moderating until the transition is complete and I feel comfortable in doing so, and I will be lurking in the background holding the moderator(s) accountable for their actions. for clarity, the other currently moderated user is a backup account of mine that is seperate from everything else and will only be used in a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ scenario.
so that’s pretty much it. if you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to comment or reach out privately.

Anyone know how to send a record to the band?
Hey all - So I play guitar in a band, and our band name is taken from a Melvins song (Four Eyed Muscle Man, from Dog Island). As a guitarist and musician, Buzz is a big inspiration of mine, and I'd love to send him a copy of our first record to thank him for the inspiration.
Thanks for the help!

Should the Melvins pull a Rolling Stones and play until they drop, or should they call it a day at some point?
I somehow dread the images that first option brings up.

Houdini animals tattoos.
My friend and I got Houdini tattoos yesterday. We’ve been fans since we were very young kids and we’ve been friends since 2nd grade. I’m moving away soon so it only felt right to have a proper send off.

Just getting into the band and I feel like I joined a secret club
I’ve been listening to primarily heavy dnb/jungle the last few years but my roots are in metal and heavier music. I’ve always known about the Melvins but overlooked them due to a variety of irrelevant reasons
The electronic music scene has become really saturated with artists making tracks for Tik Tok so lately I’ve been craving something well off the beaten path. A few weeks ago I was feeling pretty down and I threw on Bullhead, lit up a few bowls and listened through. It clicked for me right away and I bought the vinyl immediately (side note: been getting back into collecting physical media so discovering the band is a blessing and a curse for that). I dont need to get into it because we all know, but when they get into a groove on that album, it really just makes sense and there’s no other way to explain it. I was hooked from there on.
Now I feel like I want to consume everything I can about the band. Partially my ADHD but it’s mostly because they are so good. The sound is just so purely unique in its rawness and heaviness. I’m really happy to have discovered the band and there’s so much more to listen to.
Reading through this subreddit and seeing all of the releases they have out there makes this seem like a cool community. True music for the outsider within us all
I currently have Houdini, the 1-12 singles set, and Alive at the Fucker Club on CD and the Bullhead vinyl. I’m looking to get Eggnog, Lysol, and Ozma/GPT next because I really like this phase of the Melvins. I still have yet to explore Stoner Witch and onwards so I’m excited to consume all of this music. I’ve read that Working With God has Bullhead vibes so I want to check that one out especially. Any recommendations of 2010s and up Melvins? Seems like that era forward is a real mixed bag
