THE OTHER HARVEY MILK

HARVEY MILK GIVES ME HEAVY HEART: an experimental metal band from Athens, GA, formed in the early 90's. never had a major record deal. took a fourteen year hiatus after 1994's Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men, but in 2008 came out with a new album Life..the Best Game in Town. punk sludge dirt psychadelia syzurrp, mozart, the south, hypomanic, acne, pizza, etc. described as "a sludginess and fuckedupness creep." - some dude

favorite song= Anvil will Fall. i never want it to stop . kinda obsessed with the band's obsession with Anvils. "Gravity does not affect all objects equally - in particular a heavy object such as a piano or anvil will fall more slowly than a character, if this enables that character to be flattened by the anvil (there is a specialized branch of cartoon physics known as anvilology, devoted the the study of precisely these phenomena). An object or character falling from a tall building will always travel more slowly than another character running down the stairs or using an elevator." Here's one:
"The classic Milk track "The Anvil Will Fall", is a moody drifting whispery ballad, peppered by huge bursts of downtuned pummel, when out of nowhere, in come the strings, some patriotic hymn, an almost recognizable tune that Creston sings along too in his warbly raspy croon, even kicking it up into a wicked falsetto, before petering back out into the original hushed crawl, eventually launching into a super moving moody goddamned ANTHEM. The sort of song that should have sludge fans teary eyed with hat in hand, and hand over heart." -http://www.aquariusrecords.org/cat/experimental43.html
