this song wow I love and hate when it comes on. my boyfriend bought me Exile on Mainstreet on vinyl and this song was playing the first time I told him I love him <333 happy tears. but I remember feeling so scared in the moment, and giving in to the drug of love and just saying it. something about the “end of the world, fade to black” sound of this track makes me go back into that moment and feel that high.

I’m not sure I’d say this is my favorite album ever but it is one I will never get tired of and frequently come back to. It’s just such brash, shot in the arm, pure rockstar music. Unmatched, soaring, it’s great to be alive energy all throughout. How fitting the first song is titled “Rock n Roll Star”. Bring It On Down will always make me feel like I can run through a brick wall. If I was a baseball player that would probably be my walk up song.

From their album When The Storms Would Come.
The album held a special place in my young adult self back then. But I especially love the build up and release of the guitar solo in this song, like, *hell yeah*. Hits right every time I listen to it

you probably know them already. i am from the home of Minutemen, beautiful sunny San Pedro, the port of LA and let me tell you... pedro does extreme pride really well and that is especially true when it comes to this band (and in this case the pride is absolutely warranted). george hurley built a fence behind my driveway for us. i played bass in his drum room when i was like 11 lol. yes i am flexing these things because it's awesome and he's an extremely kind man. mike watt is around town sometimes and he comes off as very unapproachable and cranky which is also awesome and funny. ultimately he is also nice though.
there are still lots of blue-collar middle-aged (to quite old) people in rock bands in pedro going really hard. one of the biggest blessings of my life is having grown up here (despite the town's issues and generally freakish nature) because of the music scene and support from older musicians. minutemen are our (humble) stars, and i'm grateful for them, and i'm grateful for the many rock/punk/jazz/blues/noise/freaky sound art people in my town.
"A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985" is a great book, i was super pumped when it came out and everyone who was around at the time had things to say about it/things to expand on.
i have love for this place but i still am dying to move away. btw. don't get it twisted... i am getting out of town or i die.
