GIMME TINNITUS

- The Contrast Podcast this week features the theme, Trios. It features the songs of many a kick ass trio… Nirvana, The Jam, The Police, Dino Jr., The Parallelograms, among others. My conribution is a song by Double Dagger… The Psychic (posttypography mp3)

Listen to the podcast: The Trios CP (tim young mp3)

I was surprised that there was no Minutemen. I was sure someone would include some Minutemen. They are like the bestest punkrock trio, like ever. To make up for this horrible miscarriage of justice I present a trio of Minutemen songs.

Listen to the Contrast Podcast Minutemen BONUS:
Hey Lawdy Mama (mp3)
Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs (mp3)
The Roar Of The Masses Could Be Farts (mp3)
