Transcription
History
Nicholas Taplin, owner of Post-Consumer Records, invited Thollem McDonas to Austin, Texas to record for him.[2] McDonas invited John Dieterich to join and Dieterich himself invited Tim Barnes.[2] McDonas then asked Mike Watt and the group began improvising.[2] The initial plan was to perform some gigs after recording but Watt's commitments to The Stooges prevented his joining them on the road.[2]
The album, You Are Always On Our Minds, wouldn't be released until 2012.[3][4] The title came from a fortune cookie Watt once received.[5]
