The best collection of pre-Henry Rollins-era Black Flag. Much of The First Four Years finds the band in developmental mode, but the sonic anarchy and political vituperation met head-on more than once, creating a ferociously good time. Not simply for completists, this is an important recording of the then-burgeoning L.A. hardcore scene.

Another day, another mp3. Today, it's the best 51 seconds in punk rock history: Wasted by Black Flag. If I could, I would post four songs here, Nervous Breakdown, Fix Me, I've Had It and Wasted.

It's perfect, and the whole thing...

Been listening to a lot of my old hardcore records and CDs, so we'll make this scrabble rabble Friday one of the slammers. One of Black Flag's old slogans was "What the fuck, fuck shit up!"
