A Nod to (the) Joe Preston

"In one way or another, you have heard Joe Preston. Earth, The Melvins, Thrones, High on Fire, SUNN 0)))...if it's slow and heavy as fuck, he was problably on it...one CD of his that I got a hold of several months back is the Joe Preston album that was one of the Melvins albums that were meant to be solo albums just like the KISS solo albums (KISS, is that a band?). Joe's album contains three songs; "The Eagle Has Landed" 1:58, "Bricklebrit" 2:36 and my favorite, "Hands First Flower" (clocking in at) 22:58. "Hands First Flower" was what BORIS and SUNN 0))) and a host of other bands are doing now except Joe did it way back in 1992. Even Dylan Carlson had only been doing his thing a few short years by then...and HE did that WITH Joe. Kudos and a half for the big fuckin' bear that is still dragging us through the sludge of happiness.

For another romp with Joe, check out The Melvins and him on , Melvins/Lysol, The Thrones White Rabbit/Sperm Whale, and SUNN 0)))'s , White 2.
