The Minutemen release their debut EP, “Paranoid Time”
So glad these guys came up from Pedro. One of my all time favorite bands.
Seven songs in six and a half minutes.
I got this EP after buying The Punch Line, so I was already a fan of their bass heavy, super tight rhythm section and the politics they espoused in their songs. But hearing “Joe McCarthy’s Ghost” for the first time was a leveling up experience.
Favorite track is “Paranoid Chant”. It’s got the classic punk rock sound, Minutemen style. And the theme is classic, the lyrics are powerful and insightful for the times. “I try to talk to girls and I keep thinking of world war three!!”. Back in the 80s, the threat of nuclear war with Russia was a persistent point of political discourse, thanks to Reagan. And the six o’clock news.
President Adams appointed Alfred Moore of North Carolina to the Supreme Court #OTD in 1799. Check out ep. 2.17 to learn more about this second of three appointments to the Supreme Court that Adams made in his four years in office. #history #JohnAdams #POTUS2 https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/217-some-awful-crisis/

This collection of live performances from multiple venues in England is a fantastic debut album. The only other band I can recall releasing a live album as their debut is the MC5 🤔
Raw, vibrant, snotty and hilarious. It's the vibe that really drew me into punk rock.
They have better albums, studio albums, but this one really captures the band’s energy.
