| | Minutemen What Makes A Man Start Fires? CD Minutemen Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
On their second full-length release, the Minutemen didn't stray too far from their original formula. The trio still deals in short, intensely played mini-songs here, although most of the 18 tracks last a minute or longer--roughly twice the average duration of songs on 1981's THE PUNCH LINE. Recorded over a year later, WHAT MAKES A MAN START FIRES has a couple of guitar overdubs, but the Minutemen maintain their stripped-down, unadorned sound and trademark gruff passion.
In a typical song, Boon's scrappy guitar playing and passionate vocal invective sit atop percolating funk rhythms. Despite his limited range, Boon gets by as lead singer through his sheer intensity. His lyrics occasionally turn inscrutable, but Boon makes sure his most emphatic messages come through. This is rock broken down to its barest essentials: vocals, bass, drums, lots of passion. Songs teeter on the edge then barrel forward; they start and end abruptly, and the intensity never lets up. What Makes A Man Start Fires? Music Minutemen What Makes A Man Start Fires?

| | Ramones Leave Home CD (1977) Deluxe Edition
What Makes A Man Start Fires?
$6.05
Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch (Digiprep).
Released only months after RAMONES, the Ramones' second album pales slightly in comparison to its stone-classic predecessor--but only slightly. LEAVE HOME contains enough all-time Ramones anthems--"Commando," "Pinhead" (which introduces the legendary "Gabba Gabba Hey" chant), and "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," to name only three--that it's still an essential document of the New York punk scene. Rhino's remastered 2001 reissue restores the original running order of the album, including "Carbona Not Glue," which was hastily removed from the 1977 vinyl not because it advocated dangerous activities but because the ...

I was born in Nome, Alaska and lived there years, then we moved to Juneau, Alaska. I thrived in the creative environment of Juneau with support from teachers who valued the arts and my Mother's encouragement. I began writing with love in high-school. I wrote poetry for the joy of life and love and sadness too. Dreams were especially important in my writing. I played guitar for the first time in Bellingham, Washington spring of 1995 when I was taught two chords at a party. The next night I dreamt about learning more. I thought, "I need a guitar." When I went home for spring break I got it out of our basement. It had been sitting around for 30 years and had subsequently had a crack in it's neck from the pull of the strings. I learned on it for the next year and then bought a Gospel Gibson. It surprised me to recognized the sweet tone of this guitar. My love of singing began before guitar came into my life. Summer if 1993 I worked in Denali National Park. I sang where ever I walked because the park officials warned residents and visitors to be loud so bears had fair warning. When I wasn't working as a house keeper in the Denali Village Hotel I was exploring the park. I sang things I knew at first, like my ABCs and favorite songs, but then I began to make things up. Most of the time the songs had no real words. It felt like the sounds and melodies came out of the ground that I walked, like a conversation. I felt very connected to nature and God. Recording has been an interesting journey. I started in Bellingham with "Something More Than Beautiful," at Soundings of the Planet. They tell me it was the shortest recorded album in the history of their Studio. In a total of about 2.5 hours I recorded 13 songs. "Breaking Strings," my second recording was done Juneau at Skatebottom Sound. This was a longer process. I took more like 8 months and included other musicians. This brings us to "All I Can See," my most recent recording with which I was in the studio phase for 18 or so months. I included many ...
