The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

What is The Minus 5 in Year 2025? You might well ask! What started off in 1993 as a studio side project (as the Young Fresh Fellows were easing up on their typically frenetic activities), it was originally meant to explore the folkier, more dismal side of rock’s palate/pallet.

The core band on this effort is Scott (The Hoople) McCaughey, ever-ready Peter Buck, Linda Pitmon, Kurt Bloch. And Debbi Peterson added her golden voice to every song. Plus guest appearances by Spencer Tweedy, Patterson Hood, and Ed Stasium (more on him later). Somehow, less thought was put into this record... which is actually an extremely positive development!

I miss The Young Fresh Fellows so this is good news.
