Music Minor Threat Played Irving Plaza, Said Lots of Crazy Shit

Posted by Mike Conklin on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 3:15 PM

Chunklet is offering some MP3s of a bootleg from a 1982 Minor Threat show at Irving Plaza, and you should probably get it—if only to hear a very young and very argumentative Ian MacKaye test your tolerance for irony. He berates fans for climbing on stage, calls the crowd a bunch of ignorant mother fuckers, and, at 10:25 of the first MP3, suggests gang-raping a woman who had been drinking. The straight-edge movement... it was totally complicated.

Almost more interestingly, um, Minor Threat played Irving Plaza?

I like to belt out "don't drink, don't smoke, don't fuck" while wasted.
