	Minutemen, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Even though bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley carried on with fIREHOSE in the late '80s, the legacy of the Minutemen overshadowed the new band in the late '80s and early '90s, as the San Pedro trio influenced several generations of musicians.
		After a few months, both Watt and Hurley had decided to quit music when they were convinced to continue playing by a passionate Minutemen fan and guitarist called Ed Crawford.
		Watt, Hurley, and Crawford formed fIREHOSE in 1986 and later in the year, the new band released their debut album, Ragin', Full-On.

	George Hurley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Hurley (born 1958 in Brockton, Massachusetts) is a drummer noted for his work with The Minutemen and fIREHOSE.
		Hurley is also known for his distinctive hairstyle which he sported in his later Minutemen and fIREHOSE days, a protruding clump of hair that he nicknamed "The Unit".
		Hurley explained in the 2005 Minutemen documentary We Jam Econo since his limbs were all busy when he played drums, he grew "The Unit" so that his head movements were more noticeable on stage.

	Mike Watt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael David Watt (born December 20, 1957 in Portsmouth, Virginia) is a bass guitarist, singer and songwriter, best-known for co-founding the punk rock bands The Minutemen and fIREHOSE; as of 2003, he is also the bassist for the reunited Iggy Pop and The Stooges.
		Watt's third solo album The Secondman's Middle Stand, inspired by both his 2000 illness and one of his favorite books, Dante's The Divine Comedy, was released in 2004; one reviewer writes that the album is a "harrowing, funny, and genuinely moving stuff from a true American original." [1].
		Watt feared that he would have to temporairily shelve the bass in July 2005 when a crack was discovered in its headstock during a 2005 Stooges European tour; fortunately, he was able to have the instrument repaired in time for the next leg of the tour.

		Devastated, Watt and Hurley planned to retire from music but were coerced into returning to action by Ohio-born Ed Crawford, a fervent Minutemen fan inspired to learn guitar by the band's records.
		Mascis invited Watt to play on his solo release More Light later the same year and participated in its ensuing tour (which was cut short in the summer of 2001 when the group's van was involved in a serious accident in Sweden).
		Watt's long-delayed Secondmen album with Mazich and Trebotic, a concept piece about his illness and recovery called The Secondman's Middle Stand, was finally released in August 2004; a full-length debut by the Wylde Ratttz was expected that same year on the independent Ecstatic Peace label.

		As Mike Watt and the Secondmen (Pete Mazich on Hammond B3 organ and vocals and Raul Morales on drums) starting setting up the stage for their set, there was very little indication to the unexperienced as to what was coming.
		Mike Watt is a pretty humble, unassuming type of guy dressing in old jeans, old Converse sneakers, old flannel shirt, and old Gibson bass as his weapon of choice for the evening.
		The diehard Watt fan next to me kept yelling out “Jam Econo!”, a Watt mantra, and judging from the fact that the band was setting up their own equipment, they live that mantra as well.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen
		Unsurprisingly, it's the interviews with members George Hurley and (especially) Mike Watt that are the most compelling.
		Hurley still looks like a surfer (though he's cut his hair, thank God) and Watt still looks like he's carrying Boon around on his scrawny shoulders.
		The intense bond between Watt and Boon was (and is) legendary – as is to be expected of two childhood friends who crossed the country playing punk rock to people who mostly didn't care – and Watt's savant-type memory is pushed into emotional overdrive as he reminisces about the band's music and recordings.

		Watt serves as the anchor for the film, mostly from the driver's seat of his van, waxing off on everything from clay wheels to Richard Meltzer along the way.
		George Hurley is a given, but everyone from Chuck Dukowski to Spot to Thurston Moore to the members of The Urinals/100 Flowers add their own take on the Minutemen story to the mix.
		I cannot fathom the reviewer who felt that Mike Watt was unemotional; I had the distinct impression that he was on the verge of tears at least three times in the segments that appear in the main documentary.

		Mike Watt is a soothing sight for weary souls and sore eyes.
		It makes no difference to Mike Watt, who flutters his hands about to emphasize a point, and jumps to whatever point might happen to flicker across his mind.
		Watt's admiration for the thinking man's metal band remains as fresh as it was when he and D. Boon tried to duplicate chords from Secret Treaties.

	Live Review: Mike Watt
		We were lucky, as the gig by Watt and The Secondmen was preceded by the recently released feature-length documentary We Jam Econo, which does a terrific job at capturing the history and essence of one of most unique bands of their (or any) era.
		In 2000, Watt suffered a burst abscess in his perineum (use Google to find out the details about that), which almost caused him the loss of his life.
		Watt & Co. tore through The Secondman's Middle Stand it its entirety, with the wordless communication of a jazz outfit, the tightness of a funk band and the energy of, well, The Minutemen.

	* Dusted Features [ All Tomorrow's Parties - Minutemen Duet (Mike Watt and George Hurley) ] *
		Watt dedicated this reunion to the late Minutemen guitarist D. Boon, whose parts were replaced, in memoriam, by nothing.
		Still, as Watt took pains to explain, Boon's parts remain so fundamental to the songs that their presence was implicit "Much respect to D. Boon," he said, on several occasions, before reaching back into the Minutemen's incomparable catalog of hardcore/post-punk and playing with the kind of intensity that makes live rock shows worth seeing.
		Watt and Hurley played rhythm, of course, but so did Boon—which, in turn, let melody sneak back in everywhere, in the bass, in the drums.

		As one-third of the still-great-after-all-these-years Minutemen, Mike Watt, D. Boon, and George Hurley rode the van into musical history along with SST label mates Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr.
		Although he has consistently courted the edge of mainstream success, Mike Watt has the distinction of being name-dropped for those who wish to seem in the know.
		Mike Watt’s music is extremely autobiographical, and this CD draws from a life-threatening illness that he experienced in 2000, as well as a rereading of Dante’s La Divine Comedie.

		The influence of Mike Watt and his bass is undeniable.
		After Boon's death, Watt and Hurley planned to retire entirely from music when a twenty-two year old kid by the name of Ed fROMOHIO [Crawford], a rabid fan of the Minutemen, crossed the country to literally pound on Watt's front door and implore him to start playing music again.
		The album--a "punk rock opera" as Watt calls it--is an autobiographical look at Watt's own life as a Minuteman and the parallels between the Minutemen and his father's life, who was an engineer on a nuclear submarine in the Navy and who passed away from cancer several years previously.

		Mike Watt was a founding member and bass player for the seminal punk band the Minutemen.
		As a blue-collar hero in an art-school world, Mike Watt has always inspired me. I’ve always admired him for being approachable and for telling his audiences to go out and make music or films or write stories and be creative.
		Mike Watt is truly the punk rock ideal in the flesh.

	We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen (2005): Reviews
		This feature length documentary chronicles the ground breaking, early 80's punk rock band from their humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA to their tragic and untimely demise when lead signer and guitarist D. Boon was killed in a van accident in December of 1985.
		The charm of Tim Irwin's documentary, which charts via archival footage and talking-head reminiscences the arc of the band bassist Watt shared with guitarist D. Boon and drummer George Hurley in the early '80s, is that emphasis on the personal.
		Watt and Hurley tell the Minutemen story well, but Irwin relies too much on corroborating interviews from punk vets like Flea and Ian MacKaye, who talk about how great the band was without offering much fresh insight.

		I tell the guy that it's the name of the guitarist that he's hearing, the guy that snapped his neck in a stupid accident back before he was (probably) born.
		Mike Watt popped his head through from backstage a couple of times, once munching a sandwich, and it was nice to see him nodding his head to the noise that Shellac was throwing our way, but it would have been even nicer to see them headline the show and play for a little longer.
		I've already heard from a couple of people who saw Shellac last night and have some other friends seeing them tonight but as excited as I was about seeing Mr Albini again I'm now all frothy in the mouth at the thought of seeing George Hurley and Mike Watt doing their thing.

		Perhaps the reason for all this cooperation is due to the massive amounts of respects that the band has gained throughout their short career and beyond their untimely demise in 1985.

		Bio: In 1985, after D Boon's tragic death at age 27 signalled the end of the Minutemen, bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley threw in their lot with then-22-year-old former Ohio State University student, guitar player, and Minutemen fanatic Ed Crawford to form fIREHOSE.
		Taking their group name from a line in Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," fIREHOSE continued in the Minutemen tradition of breathtaking musicianship combined with caustic lyrical fusillades inspired by the writing of the Beat Generation and the erect-middle-finger indignation of the Blank Generation.
		And although fIREHOSE never equaled the Minutemen's output in terms of sheer audacity and emotional depth, Crawford, Watt, and Hurley recorded rock that was muscular, dense, and daring, along with being tremendously heartfelt.
