New Melvins and Primus albums on the same day. Also, some great quotes from Claypool about this upcoming tour... To coincide with the chocolate themed album, Primus are bringing back their signature candy bars, including Mr. Krinkle (crisped rice), Professor Nutbutter (peanuts) and Bastard Bar (dark chocolate). “The tour and the album are solely a marketing tool just so we can sell candy bars,” jokes Claypool. “That’s the whole impetus of this entire project. Because the f—ing recording industry rolled over and let this Internet shit all over us. So we had to come up with another income stream, so we’re making chocolate bars because you can’t digitize a chocolate bar — yet.” To further Claypool’s chocolate obsession, Primus’ new record will also be released on chocolate-colored vinyl, and sticking to the ‘Wonka’ theme, golden tickets will be randomly inserted into five LPs. “We need to make sure that kids in the future watch the original ‘Willy Wonka’ and not the horrendous, horrible remake that came along and left the taste of feces in our mouths,” Claypool adds. “There are a lot of very talented people on the planet. And Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are two of those very talented people. But like all human beings, every now and then, we crap in our pants.” Read More: Classic Primus Lineup Set for New Album, Tour + Candy Bars | loudwire/classic-primus-lineup-willy-wonka-album-u-s-tour-candy-bars/?trackback=tsmclip
