[@willieluncheonette]

WHO WANTS TO HEAR SOME EXTREMELY WELL RECORDED DEMOS THAT REPRESENT THE FIRST STEPS OF ONE OF THE TWO GREATEST HARDCORE BANDS EVER? I knew there would be some of you that answered "Me" Three or four months after forming, Minor Threat went into Inner Ear Studios, located in the basement of Don Zientar's house in Arlington Virginia and recorded their first demo tape. The band set up and played in Don's kids' playroom while he ran a 4-track tapedeck in the adjacent boiler room. And thus history was made. But the story doesn't end there. For reasons now forgotten (songs too slow? not tight enough?) the band decided to return to Inner Ear Studios about a month later to record a second demo tape, and this is the session that was released in June 1981 known as Filler, (The above from the liner notes to the CD.) All of the songs you're hearing now turned up on that first Filler e.p. except Stand Up, from the seminal D.C. compilation Flex Your Head (1982) and Guilty Of Being White which appeared on Minor Threat's second e.p. In My Eyes. (1981) This is the original blazing quarter of Ian MacKaye vocals , Lyle Preslar guitar Brian Baker bass and Jeff Nelson drums. For the most part these demos are quite close to the final record versions. How can you possibly improve upon the musicianship displayed here? Absolutely stunning And to think the band was so young then, the average age being around 19. Brian was even younger. Besides being incredible music, these demos are of tremendous historical importance, documenting the very beginning of one of the world's greatest bands.

Is that so bad? I also bought a tape with TSOL and Agent Orange from a Walmart value bin. I really doubt the artists care where you get it from. As long as you are enjoying it. TSOL even said in interviews they don't give a fuck how you get their music. Share it, burn it, put it on a tape. They just want people to hear them.

[@andrewpantalones]

+lmprdks1 Nope.

+Andrew Birmingham .... Those are all great albums, of course... Just seems like a complete corruption of hardcore...
