The Story Behind: Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime, Ep 129

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Minutemen came roaring out of the SoCal hardcore scene and proved that musicianship and punk weren't incompatible. The team discuss the importance of overdubbing, the nature of "punk" music, and how sincerity shining through is almost always a good thing.
