#nowspinning Minutemen - “ballot result” (1987) When I saw #WREK, I knew this was coming home with me from #WaxTraxRecords in Vegas. Trust me… make the trip to that store if you’re ever visiting. #vinyl #vinylcommunity #minutemen #mikewatt #dboon #punk #musicsky #punksky

Minutemen - “ballot results” released in 1987 spins on a turntable. The record cover leans in the background. It’s green with a multiple-exposure photograph of the band, blurred beyond recognition.

Wikipedia entry re: the album.

^ Production
Following 3-Way Tie (For Last), Minutemen decided to do a live album entitled, Three Dudes, Six Sides, Half Studio, Half Live.7] The group printed ballots which they passed out to fans during their summer and fall 1985 performances as well as inserted into the first pressing of 3-Way Tie (For Last); the ballots would determine which songs the band would record for the live portion of the album. 81[9]
The death of guitarist and lead singer D.
Boon on December 22, 1985 scuttled
Minutemen, putting an end to both the band and the planned live album. [101 Surviving members Mike Watt and George Hurley, a few months from reuniting to form Firehose with singer/guitarist Ed Crawford, decided to use the ballots and existing live recordings (many sent in by fans and friends) to compile the album. [81

Dennis Haskins sits at an old Neo Geo arcade machine, presumably in a bar, glaring at the camera while holding a shot with two college-aged women also holding shots they are all about to do together. Doing shots with Mr. Belding would be a memory for the ages.

“It’s true, I know lots of people are saying it. Have said it for a long time. They said it when I was born. I was all man. I actually had a fiveskin. The doctors couldn’t believe it. But we had to get rid of it SNIP SNIP just the tip, but with no Tylenol. Not a single Tylen.”

And there will be a poetry
Spoken silently between me and the stereo
I'll work mornings
And you can work through the night

Against Me! - Is Reinventing Axl Rose (2002) spins in blue marbled vinyl on a turntable. Cover art leans in the back, a black and white drawing of Axl Rose, arms spread with red stars drawn around him. Behind his head the band’s name appears in big bold lettering AGAINST ME!

Back cover & Tracklist:

side 1
pints of guinness make you strong
the politics of starving
we laugh at danger (and break all the rules)
I still love you julie

8 full hours of sleep

My eyeballs were wooden vices until tears fell like rain
My eyeglasses were clamps which caused me great pain
I was butted, gutted, false interpretation propaganda I do not need
When I decided to make a minus, minus before minus
In other words what proceed
