If I could just go back in time the Minutemen way GIVEAWAY!
2008-06-01 16:51:00 Have you ever wished you could go back in time and “re-do” an embarrassing moment? That is exactly what the characters do in Disney’s latest DVD release, Minutemen. Three teen boys figure out how to time travel with a combination of ordinary objects including computers, a microwave, a slide projector, and a diving board. Within a ten minute window the boys can fix their mistakes of the recent past before returning to the present. Of course their time traveling escapades aren’t without issues and each time travel puts a tear in space and a near end to the world. Predictably there is a love triangle and plenty of stereotyping and bullying of high school students that all works out in the end. Overall Minutemen is a very entertaining flick. My kids watch it over and over and I have not minded watching it a few times myself. My husband even watched the movie to the end after our kids fell asleep after the bazillionth time watching. ~Kristie We are giving away a ...
Punk Rock Tidbits: The Minutemen
2007-12-15 09:52:00 D. Boone, guitarists/vocalist for the "punk" band The Minutemen tragically died in Tucson, Arizona on December 22, 1985. However what most punk fans of the era fail to realize is that perhaps the greatest live musical representation of The Minutemen, the album "ballot result" released in 1987, was spawned when a Tucson DJ released a bootlegged live album (see picture above right) recorded when the band played for a radio broadcast on the FM station KLPX.I was a huge fan of The Minutemen at the time, Tucson was my hometown, and I knew D.Boone. Here are the facts as I recall them:1. The Virgin Vinyl Show was a Sunday night radio show hosted by DJ Jonathon L. At the time this was the only radio vehicle that brought the growing "punk scene" in Tucson, Arizona new music. Sometime in 1984 The Minutemen played a live set at a local Tucson recording studio called the Sound Factory that was broadcast on the Virgin Vinyl show. 2. The show was recorded at the Sound Factory and The Minutemen we...

Danger at the Border: What the Media Misses about the Minutemen
2007-01-29 04:30:01 When the media talk about the anti-Minutemen protest at Columbia University as an issue of free speech, they miss the point: the Minutemen don?t just provide a controversial perspective on immigration, but a threat to American values.By Ed Quish 1/18/07originally published at InciteIt seems that everyone talking about the anti-Minutemen protest at Columbia University is talking about the wrong issue.On October 4, a group of students demonstrated against a presentation given by leaders of the Minuteman Project, a controversial border-patrol organization invited to campus by the Columbia College Republicans. Soon after Minutemen co-founder Jim Gilchrist began his speech, students stormed the stage holding a banner reading ?No human being is illegal,? and shouted slogans comparing the Minutemen to KKK members and Nazis. The ensuing conflict prompted Gilchrist to flee the stage and end his presentation.So far, the mainstream media, Columbia President Lee Bollinger, and many Columbia stu... |
