Weekend Punk Pick: Minutemen
Brutal Truth already did a fine job ripping through "Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs" on Evolution Through Revolution, but "Joe McCarthy's Ghost" is a tune just begging for a grindcore cover. I kicked back to watch We Jam Econo, an excellent documentary about the Minutemen, a few weeks ago. If you've got even the slightest interest in this much-missed band, it's a mandatory watch. Very few bands were as astute as the Minutemen in analyzing the language and economic structures that were stacked up against the little man.

I have the album the Bob Dylan song came from after hearing BT cover it. Pretty fucking cool.
Laid-back and still angry, if that makes sense.
I'll definitely have to dig further into them.
get thee a copy of the paranoid time 7-inch (available on post mersh vol 3) and DOUBLE NICKELS ON THE DIME! forthwith young man.
