no.......
you discuss!

Okay.
Double Nickels On The Dime sounds like what would have happened had the Dismemberment Plan been around in the early 80's, except with time signatures that actually exist. Also there are 43 tracks which has to be some kind of record.
The music is past awesome. Post-awesomecore, maybe.
-
Haha, 'Corona' is the theme to Jackass. Isn't the guy from Minutemen dead now?

I've got a Discordance Axis CD with 69 tracks.
-
Didn't NIN release an album with about 99 tracks, around 11 being actual songs and the rest 10s silence?
-
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.

Bleddy music police...

"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.
-
Well, to go off on a tangent, you have to do that with every band/artist.
Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain(haha, it was either drugs or guns, he wouldn't have lasted another 6 months), Dimebag even...
-
Minutemen give me good memories of driving around Nottingham getting lost trying to find someones house shouting along to minutemen songs really loudly :)
-
See...I got confused and thought this was about Minuteman, who were formed with some guy who used to be in Ultrasound, and lasted about 2 songs before fading inito obscurity, and was all ready to rant about forgotten indie nearly-were bands...
But that was me being dumb, and now I'm disappointed. Oh well, as you were...
-
touring with R.E.M. (talk about differences in style!)
See, I can actually see the similarities in their sound, especially considering the non-distorted jazzy stuff that Minutemen did.
-
Minutemen: The Politics Of Time is just about the only album I ever just trashed in disgust (actually I used a hair drier to bend it into a potato chip bowl).
-
I've got a Discordance Axis CD with 69 tracks.
I've got an Agoraphobic Nosebleed CD with 100 songs on it, so nyah.
Double Nickles is a great album. I like "Jesus and Tequila" quite a bit myself.
-
...you can't physically have 100 songs on a cd
-
Amazing band. The Wike Watt/George Hurley Minutemen Duet is incredible to see, but it's really weird hearing Mike sing all of those songs. It's very touching how he still talks about D so much, the guy's obviously still in his mind.
-
Not Nearly 69 or 100 tracks, but the Residents' have an album with 40 songs, each exactly 1 minute long.
-
...you can't physically have 100 songs on a cd
Not only on they on CD, they're on a 3" CD. It's about 20 minutes long.
-
Are they all like ten seconds long? wtf.
-

More or less. It's mostly like one long song with lots of different movements. ANb do a shitload of acid, and grindcore is crazy enough without psychedelics involved.
-
Yes, but it's STILL only actually possible to have 99 tracks on a CD.

The 100th track is before the first song, you have to start the disc and immediately rewind it to hear the tune. It's in the "down time" between tracks.
