Just caught "We Jam Econo," a documentary about the Minutemen. I thought it was pretty good, and Mike Watt provided a very personal glimpse of the band. I'm nowhere near educated on punk music, but I completely dug the energy of the music.

Anyone else seen it?

Fantastic film about an extremely influential band. I love the Minutemen, and much of Watts' post-Minutemen output as well. I highly recommend the film to anyone who wants a better look at how bands did the DIY thing in the pre-internet days, and also to hear how awesome the Minutemen were.

Love the Minutemen. I think I've seen this, but can't be sure. I'll have to check it out again.

Watched a vid of the Minutemen doing "Corona." It's amazing that D. Boon could bounce around like he did and still play on time.
