Melvins Goldmine! - Audio Section

Audio

I've attempted to fix this show from 9/29 of THIS TOUR. Originally this space was filled by a 9/24 show. I got the show from dimeadozen but i guess i wasn't finished downloading it when i uploaded it.....
an incredibly silly move on my part.
i got lots of emails from people saying the files were corrupted. right now i can't finish the download of that particular show for a variety of reasons, so in the meantime i am posting this one from the current tour.
unfortunately it seems that a few songs from the beginning are missing. I believe only the first two songs (The Talking Horse & The Bloated Pope) are the only ones that are MIA. this is the way i downloaded it, as far as i can tell.
on the upside, the files are full-quality FLAC..
FLAC converters can be found HERE for mac, and HERE for windows.
sorry for all the half-assing. i'll try to fix all this stuff soon. College is hard!

I can't really remember what is new since five days ago. The zipped shows section and everything in it is new, as well as some track title corrections.
I also made some Melvins Fact-Sheet in hopes that people on the message board would send me facts they collect on said message board and i would amass them all there.
So far this hasn't happened. if any non-board members have some interesting Melvins facts, feel free to send them to me and maybe i'll post them.
In the meantime the site is located HERE but is quite uninteresting so far. If it ever becomes interesting i'll embed a more permanent link.

UPDATE: I just upgraded my hosting account. I now have 100 GB of disc space and 1TB of bandwidth
I plan on making good use of this upgrade in the coming weeks/months. I might upload a ton more shows in zip format instead of single mp3 downloads,
or possibly add video content from the Senile Animal tour as it becomes available.
Either way, keep an eye on the goldmine for newness, or watch for update messages on the melvins.net message board.

Still taking requests, if anyone can think of anything they'd like to see on here. Audio Video, JPEG scans of stuff
I'll do what i can.
