My day starts at 6:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Why, do you ask, would I get up at that hour? Well, when I wake up that early on a Saturday, it gives me a whole full day to do things. Sundays are my sleep in days. That being said, I walked into End of Ear Records and found this magnificent, yet satisfying circular piece of plastic which I am making my one hundred sixth pick.

Ok, I love this album. I love I Found That Essence Rare!! I don't know what else to say other than this album is fantastic. My roommate Kevin told me, as I was putting this record on, that in high school he read an interview with the Minutemen and the interviewer asked them what were some of their influences. He told me that they said Gang of Four were. Then the record came on and after listening to it, I can see a resemblance. Such a wonderful, influential band.
Enjoy!
