(Inner Ear Studio, in the basement in a residential house in a sleepy residential neighborhood in Arlington, VA.)<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple interesting firsts in this song:<\/p>\n<p>Was the first time Ian sang backup on a song from a band he wasn&#8217;t in. Also, when I interviewed Henry Rollins at his office for my book <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2SR2yks\"><em>$30 Music School<\/em><\/a>, I told him about this song.<\/p>\n<p>Rollins was surprised, he&#8217;s good friends with Ian going back to high school, is an Ian MacKaye completest (as a record collector).<\/p>\n<p>But he didn&#8217;t have this song. So I helped him download it on his computer. He said &#8220;That&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve ever downloaded a song.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>=-<\/p>\n<p>I played in another band in Charlottesivve too, The Beef People. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomfeens.com\/blog\/?p=6248\">Listen here<\/a>. First beef people song starts with an outtake. lol.<\/p>\n<p>That was also recorded at Inner Ear Studio.<\/p>\n<p>That studio cost 30 bucks an hour, before home recording was feasible, and most studios were 200 bucks an hour or more.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of great punk rock was recorded there.<\/p>\n<p>Beef People recorded and mixed a whole album in one day. I think the studio cost was 200 bucks, including tape.<\/p>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t just release to the Web then, it didn&#8217;t exist. My fiend John Beers pressed the vinyl for that album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minor Threat covering a song by the Monkeys: turn it up at the start: The song starts with the guitar player learning the song (!), then saying &#8220;got it.&#8221; You can hear one of &#8217;em sniffiling, someone had a cold.
