Information flagged with a question mark is not verified, if
you have further information, please let me know.
Most CD track times were found using a NAD 4170 compact disc player
and the time on your CD player may vary slightly (+- 5-8 seconds),
due to the way different machines calculate track times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
Apparently fIREHOSE have returned to the studio to record a new
album, scheduled to be released 26 January 1993, entitled The
Machinery Operator.
Promotional videos were made for the Minutemen songs "This Ain't No
Picnic" and "King of the Hill".
Mike Watt appears in the video for Sonic Youth's "My Friend Goo"
but doesn't play in the song. He also does a cameo in the video
for "100%" by Sonic Youth.
Mike Watt also stars as Fidel Castro in a movie I don't know the
name of and haven't seen.
Please send me any additional information you have about these or
other releases featuring Minutemen and fIREHOSE.

Information flagged with a question mark is not verified, if
you have further information, please let me know.
Most CD track times were found using a NAD 4170 compact disc player
and the time on your CD player may vary slightly (+- 5-8 seconds),
due to the way different machines calculate track times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
Apparently fIREHOSE have returned to the studio to record a new
album, scheduled to be released 26 January 1993, entitled The
Machinery Operator.
Promotional videos were made for the Minutemen songs "This Ain't No
Picnic" and "King of the Hill".
Mike Watt appears in the video for Sonic Youth's "My Friend Goo"
but doesn't play in the song. He also does a cameo in the video
for "100%" by Sonic Youth.
Mike Watt also stars as Fidel Castro in a movie I don't know the
name of and haven't seen.
Please send me any additional information you have about these or
other releases featuring Minutemen and fIREHOSE.
