Correct (about the Minutemen).
Similar,
Their frontman barely moves as he plods through Drop-A doctrines of divinity. And their bass player didn't even know what a bass was when the band started, how noob is that?

I assume its Mission of Burma but that's just a suspicion (and the timeline is off anyway).

But didn't know if Karate used Klons, or played blues licks.
God damn it.

HA HA HA HA YES!!!!!!! I knew Chank would be there for me.
Geoff Farina got so far deep into the "toan hole" and "tasty lixx" thing, it's a bit ridonkulous... but yes, I do still love them...

Well, jrmy, I don't' check this thread often, but when I do, I've got your back.
Not sure how exactly this effects things either, but Geoff did go to Berklee.
Also, they lost a good bit of their "hardcore-ish-ness" when Eamonn left the band.

Random dude making dark 2-step slathered in reverb and off kilter, pitched up vocal samples becomes poster boy for alternative Electronica.

I haven't been super into his most recent output but Untrue/Street Halo/Kindred are all so damn good.
EDIT: re-listening to the self-titled, which is lighter on the dub influence than I remembered. Also killer.

We stupidly named our album after Greek food because we were hungry at the time, I guess.

Yup. It's the 24th anniversary of the release of Loveless today, so I felt inspired.
