I will explain the Minutemen (Even though I have before) now.

The Minutemen are (and always have been) a three piece. They will also always be known as a Punk band. However, their version of Punk isn't always musical; they were very political and had punk like song topics. In fact, at their best they even had a large deal of Country/Folk in them.

The Minutemen are made up of vocalist/guitarist D. Boon, bassist/vocalist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley. They were all quite good (especially Watt). And are now are looked at well for their talent back in the 1980's. Finally, the band ended when D. Boon died.

Now I am 100% sure you have heard the instrumental section of their non-instrumental song "Corona". It was the theme for Jackass. You've probably heard other songs off of Double Nickels On the Dime, like "This Ain't No Picnic", "The Glory of Man", etc...

[QUOTE]I've heard of them, aren't they Irish?[/QUOTE]

They're from San Pedro, California.

That's cool, nice little review too!

Oh ya I gotta show you guys a site....it's super cool when your baked, but just as cool when you're not. Beware, you may get lost in it and forget about reality. I stared at it for like half an hour last night (it was tricky to work at first though).

Ah, I've heard of Mike Watt before.

thickasabrick, that site was pretty cool, I startedd out going bacwards. THen I switched once I realized it was looped.

Has anyone heard of the George Baker selection?

I was listening to th Reservoir Dogs soundtrack and it was the first song I can kinda remember it from he movie but not well but the song Little Green Bag is a pretty good song. Especially the start bass line.

That's hypnotic! I put on some very trippy Porcupine Tree and it goes with it perfectly.

Edit: It reminds me of what those 2 guys were seeing in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" anyone else see it? It's my favorite movie at the moment.

Thickasabrick, that site is amazing. I'd love to do art like that eventually.

Nice gangsta.

[QUOTE]np: Don Henley - Boys Of Summer[/QUOTE]

Nice, why does everyone here hate The Eagles. "Take it Easy", perfect song.

I love "One of These Nights". That bassline at the beginning is very cool. I don't hate The Eagles.

[QUOTE]NEIL YOUNG RECORDING AGAIN
It’s only been a month since Neil Young underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm, but the rocker is already back in a recording studio. The as-yet-untitled album is expected be completed by the end of the year. Rumour has it the disc will be a return to the mellow sound of “Harvest Moon".[/QUOTE]

I loved Harvest Moon. It's one of my favorites by him. I doubt he will top it but I hope that he does :)

w00t!

I liked Greendale, his last album too. Although it's not as good as a lot of the 70s-90s stuff. Are You Passionate was the suck, i must say.

Neil hasen't been very consistent lately.
