As i enter a time when i’ll be long on ideas and short on cash, i’m reminded of my love for the Minutemen. Mike Watt was a huge influence on my own bass playing, but the whole band ethic of spare playing and spare living always strikes a chord with me.
While working to reorganize things around the house and running errands this week, i’m listening to 3-way Tie (For Last) and Project Mersh. Listening to these songs again makes me want to sit in a dark basement with guitar + drums and play music all night. Ah, 22 was a good year. The Dec. 8, 2006 edition of TWFPS has a replay of a great 2 hour show covering the Double Nickels on the Dime album, really good stuff.
