The eagle has landed!
Crazy day of mail: The aforementioned DVD, an original Big Boys flyer, a Samuel 7", and three rejections (one of them personal and very nice). Awright!

Bonus disc: two live shows, from '81 and '84, as well as an acoustic set. Righteous.
Bonus interview footage contains a hilarious bit with Thurston Moore re: meeting Watt for the first time.

The Tuesday Mail shaft as well - maybe tonight -
Maybe the post office gives expedited service to urban dwellers?

Monday June 26th did the trick.
So far, the thing that impresses me most about this DVD set is the fact that they took the time and effort to transcribe all the lyrics D Boon and Mike Watt are shouting out in the archival videos into a subtitle / closed caption track.
Sometimes some of the more indie films / documentaries / music video / etc releases skimp on having subtitles, which are much appreciated by this viewer.
In theory, Its pretty fantastic that there are so many captured full length sets on the 2nd disc, but I cant write about that until I have time to sit down and watch it.
