Always on the hunt for Buzz Interviews getting one with Toshi is unbelievably cool! Really a great podcast.

it’s cool the way buzzo puts it about getting drums as they are

[@andytaylor1806]

"It's me and Tosh and two of the guys from Napalm Death" (this bit is key!)

they say every record is unlike the others, they all sound like melvins. play them back to back & u hear very similar things, it’s not a problem, it’s not reality to suggest they are so different or eccentric in any way. I’d also like to point out Mike & the Melvins came out heavy on the melvinsesque side. I was hoping for a real combo of ghS/melvins. It’s a lil lite.

longer more detailed long winded sales speak.

people have done this people add guitar to drums people do drums last it’s cool it came out, I get, on air personas just can’t control their urge to oversell everything
