I don't think they really ditched the ethos in regard to politics and stuff but they ditched the angst and aggression, which is still a big deal.

I wasn't a fan of the EP. I can respect the effort but it's just not something I enjoy listening to. Maybe they got the idea over a bowl of illegal smokey smokes.

I posted the documentary just above ya, figured anyone readin outta watch it if they wanna get to know the band a little better.

indeed!

The EP is an interesting document but don't treat it too seriously or you'll be severely disappointed. It's just a fun jam, really... fun for the members, not so much the listeners ;)

We Jam Econo is a fantastic documentary. Kick started my interest in the American underground "punk" music scene of that time, which led me to discover the likes of Meat Puppets and Butthole Surfers.

Hey.

So I thought I heard the Captain in this music as well. Anyone else? Maybe I'm obsessed.

Aw, you couldn't just make a new thread instead of creating a diversion from Minutemen? Oh well, it's on you.

Minutemen were superior musically but The Meatmen were good too. I especially like their subtle Bad Brains diss.
