I still listen to Double Nickles a lot, and Zen Arcade, too. My 2 favorite double albums of that period. Husker Du still seems to be a band people remember, but The Minutemen not so much. Don't really understand why. The Lyres were great and so were DMZ before them. Boston produced so many great bands back then. The Feelies are a band I could never get into but would probably appreciate more today. My favorite Feelies moment was when they popped up in Something Wild as the band at the high school reunion. I remember having Slovenly, Leaving Trains, and Miralce Legion records but can't remember anything about them. Camper Van was also a band that got much acclaim but left me cold. I've been tempted to buy one of the Dumptruck reissues. I had D for Dumptruck and liked it a lot. A couple of bands I liked to see some reissues of are Squirrel Bait and Killdozer. I, too, eagerly await the new MOB disc. Now if only Steve Albini would reform Big Black. I haven't cared for what I've heard of Shellac and didn't like Rapeman, either. But what do I know? I still love to listen to the dentist drill sounds of early Swans.
