Everybody Loves Sausage art

In a possible nod to the BrooklynVegan readers (doubt it), Melvins have announced their new LP Everybody Loves Sausage. The long-player is a collection of covers that range from Venom to Roxy Music and features guest appearances from Scott Kelly (Neurosis), JG Thirwell, Jello Biafra and more. Check out the tracklisting and a stream of their cover of The Fugs' "Carpe Diem" below.

So irrelevant. No Alt-J or Screaming Females covers?

King Buzzo owes me royalties, and while he is at it maybe that tub could drop a couple pounds.

Perhaps it means that it is comprised of a lot of different bits and pieces, you know, like sausages. Little bit of this and that. Either way, the cover art is adorable. Reminds me of a children's book. <3 Melvins

Is there a rule that you can't add factual information to a press release? Who is dumb enough not to be able to execute the 5 second search for who performed "Black Betty"?

Evidently you (commenter above) are dumb enough not to be able to execute a 15 second search that would show the origin of the song is unclear.

5:24 - evidently you are dumb enough not to know that the composers of any of the above songs are not really what's important. The performers are the ones cited in the release. Ram Jam played Black Betty in the 70's. That's the one The Melvins are covering. Shit head.

Melvins dedicated an album to the BS guy, how sweet.
I hear on the back cover is the band in all assorted colored scarves. King Buzzo's is a really loud rainbow one :):):)

@6:10, it's shithead. and yes, *you* get to decide what's important re: songwriter credits, don't you?
shithead.

Oh, and it's actually "Everybody loves SAUSAGES", you fucking stupid asswipes. Reading is hard though, amirite?

Nothing like a good sausage troll thread to ease us into the weekend. Just no more fucking Swans threads OK, I'll talk. If I see that pussy Michael Gira's smug ass face one more time I just might kill this here kitten.

5:24 / 7:29: you may be either a shit head or a shithead. For sure you are unintelligent... and you know I'm right. Have a nice weekend.
