Holy shit, Minutemen were awesome
Cpt.Fantastic:
Didn't NIN release an album with about 99 tracks, around 11 being actual songs and the rest 10s silence?
KharBevNor:
Yeah, but that doesn't count. Dan Swano did that to Crimson 2 when they wouldn't let him have it as just one track: The idea is it forces people to listen to the album from the start rather than putting it on shuffle. Tracks only count if they're actual songs or a proper 'named' silence (such as 'Type O Negative-
The Misinterpretation Of Silence And Its Disastrous Consequences') in which case you're only allowed one per album.
Cpt.Fantastic:
Bleddy music police...

--- Quote from: Cpt.Fantastic ---Haha, 'Corona' is the theme to Jackass. Isn't the guy from Minutemen dead now?
--- End quote ---
"The guy from the Minutemen" (D. Boon) isn't dead now. He's been dead for 20 years. He died in a van accident in december of 1985 shortly after touring with R.E.M. (talk about differences in style!). Mike Watt (the bass player) and George Hurley (drums) recruited Edfromohio for vocals and reformed as fIREHOSE.
Yes, Double Nickels on the Dime is a fantastic album. Who thought you could pack so many songson a single album?
~~Wills, always finding the connection to R.E.M.

I think "Toadies" is the only song that I still remember how to play on bass. It feels like that album was constantly on in my room back in my high school days. I always used to wonder how much different the music world would be if D. hadn't died so early.
