Who am I? What am I doing here? Where's Ally? Well, I'm the biggest Melvins geek that Ally knows, so when Shockwave Magazine told her they scored an interview, she asked if I would do the write up. More than happy to oblige! My biggest fear was that I would go too Fanboy on them, but I think I did a respectable job of containing myself. I thought that we'd probably get about 10 or 15 minutes with Buzzo and Dale, but we talked to them for nearly an hour, and still there were so many questions left unasked! Still, I am beyond grateful for all that we did get to talk about, even if the answers weren't always to the questions posed – I expected nothing less.

As I listen to the confidently smooth style of AntiCrew’s mc, Flare tha Rebel, and he slices through cleverly written lyrics and the backing music birthed by a live band (combinations liable to make you draw your breath in in audio pleasure) I cannot help but be somewhat amazed that these are the same guys who answered my questions.  Talent can either blow your head up or humble you.
