This was my first exposure to Minutemen, circa mid-90s. My best friend and I were snagging up and special ordering whatever weird punk/industrial/electronic stuff we could from our local NRM Records but this one was always sitting in the bins until my best friend finally bought it on a whim. It has been imprinted upon me ever since.
Dreams are free, motherfucker!
