The Politics Of Time
''The Politics of Time'' is the first compilation album by American hardcore punk band The Minutemen (band), Minutemen, released in 1984 through New Alliance Records. Released in between their ''Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat'' 12-inch EP and ''Double Nickels on the Dime'' double album on their own New Alliance Records label, the album compiles seven tracks meant for a non-SST Records, SST Minutemen studio album that never materialized, a variety of live tracks of varying recording quality (most done with ordinary cassette machines), and a recording by their predecessor group The Reactionaries (band), The Reactionaries. Part of the sleeve note on the back cover facetiously asks listeners to "note the quality of the recording" on the live version of "Fanatics" (from ''The Punch Line''). While the recording is an almost undiscernible mess, the cut is apparently included for its historical importance as according to Henry Rollins in his book ''Get In The Van'', on this nig ...

The Minutemen (band)
Minutemen were an American punk rock band formed in San Pedro, California, in 1980. Composed of guitarist/vocalist D. Boon, bassist/vocalist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley, Minutemen recorded four albums and eight EPs before Boon's death in an automobile accident in 1985; the band broke up shortly thereafter. They were noted in the California punk community for a philosophy of "jamming econo"—a sense of thriftiness reflected in their touring and short, tight songs, and for their eclectic style, drawing on hardcore punk, funk, jazz, and other sources. The group's early recordings (up until their 1985 12" EP '' Project: Mersh'') were recorded as "econo" (Pedro slang for inexpensive, short for "economical") as possible—the group would book studio time after midnight at cut rates, tech their own shows, practice the songs before going into the studio, record on less-expensive used tape, and record the songs in the order they intended to have them on the record rather th ...

The Punch Line
''The Punch Line'' is the debut studio album and third overall release by American punk rock band Minutemen, and the fourth-ever release from SST Records. After their previous release, ''Paranoid Time'', sold out its 300-copy pressing, Greg Ginn invited the band to record again. Less than half the length of most LPs, the total playing time for all 18 songs is a mere 15 minutes. The album was an early milestone release for the band and SST. ''The Punch Line'' hit record store shelves three months after the release of ''Joy'', although ''Joy'' was recorded after ''The Punch Line''. ''The Punch Line'' also appears on the '' My First Bells'' cassette and the '' Post-Mersh Vol. 1'' CD. The opening track, "Search", represented Minutemen on the second '' Rodney on the ROQ'' compilation album on Posh Boy Records, while four other songs, including the title track, were featured on the compilation cassette ''The Future Looks Bright Ahead'', jointly issued by Posh Boy and SST in 1981.
