Minor Threat

Out of Step (With The World)
over 2 years ago

Like so many of us, MOG has been a godsend, a haven where I have found people who share a similar passion for music. Sure, we all don't like the SAME music, but the fact alone that we're all passionate about music makes MOG so exciting.As a result, I cannot count the number of times that MOGgers have shared their frustrations that the other people in their lives don't quite understand that pass...

Punk Rock Tuesday - No Filler
over 2 years ago

My punk experience started while 12, living in Orange County, California. All the older boys were suddenly listening to Rodney on the ROQ and I was confused and frightened by the furious noises I heard (Circle Jerks, Germs, Black Flag). In fact, it wasn't until I was sixteen that I finally listened to Minor Threat and thought, "This isn't scary at all; in fact, I kinda like it!" Thus began my s...

Five reasons I'm not cool
over 3 years ago

1) I've heard Sufjan Stevens, the Decemberists, and a few other indie acts that get a lot of support here, and they just don't SING for me. Sorry, I tried, honest.2) I've not yet delved into past inspirations like Billie Holliday and Etta James. I like what I've heard, just been busy catching up with newer stuff.3) I haven't been to a concert since summer 2004. I could go to more, really, it's ...

Punk Wars #2 - Straight edge version
over 2 years ago

I decided to skip the way too obvious "Out of Step" and found this lovely live nugget, with a cover of Wire's "12XU" followed by "Small Man Big Mouth".And doesn't this look like the most fun show ever? I wish I could have seen a show like this.

Film Review: I Need That Record: The Death (Or Possible Survival) Of The Independent Record Store
2 months ago

A co-worker dropped off a copy of this documentary for me to watch at my leisure, and since I work in an independent record store I think I can offer a slightly more unique response to it than your average audience member. To put it succinctly, this is a film about record stores being shuttered [...]

Us and them
over 3 years ago

Just an observation after watching the crowds tonight.I was at a punk rock show at a local bar that sits across the street from a fancy hotel. There was something going on at the hotel because tour busses kept pulling up and unloading groups of 20somethings decked out in fancy clothes. As they left the bus they would run into the hotel and reemerge an hour or two later to catch the return bus. ...

I got a pretty good buzz going on at the moment and yet I want to blog about the DC hardcore scene, ironic huh? Regardless of the DC punks attitude about drinking their music spoke to me like few others have in my 42 years on this rock. The power, the energy, the aggresion has in my opinion not been matched in the 27 years since the Bad Brains burst on the scene and changed everything. Unfortun...

Bottled Violence now Bottled Friend?

Thanks to my buddy Tim for snapping a pic of the bar sign. We're going through some pretty dire times here in the USA, and I'm certain that $1 beers, free BBQ, and marathon happy hours are much appreciated by anyone who took a good look at their most recent ConEd bill.But I just can't help but feel sorry for poor Ian MacKaye, a principled man who has been up to his neck in Minor T...

over 2 years ago

So if you want an understand of just how old punk has gotten, a Minor Threat member is now a lawyer. Lyle Preslar, who was younger than the class of 2010 while playing guitar for a seminal punk band (boy do I feel old), has just graduated from Rutgers University School of Law—Newark. Apparently, he's won an award for music law writing, and—get this—he's married to a VH1 executive.In case you
