    This is a project that is one bass guitar, one bass drum, one bastard.

    I am confident that dave. would really like this guy.

    Man (real name: Matthew McGuire) is a Detroit musician that is a one-man version of nomeansno meates black flag. the album is Machine.

    some lyric samples:
    "Fuck the Team": I don't want to be in your clique. I don't want to fit in. I don't want to wear your colors. I don't want to hold your grudge. I don't need your torpor. I fuckin hate the hokey pokey. I'd rather wander my own path than get stuck in the rut with you. I've no need for fals esteem. Fuck the team!

    "WASP Cleanaholic": Oh my god its dirt. Got to make it sheen. Wipe away the dust. My conscience will be clean. Vacuum evil crumbs. Herbicide the grass. Put my guilt in the closet. And God up my ass. kill the evil germs fucking on the floor. I'm a wasp cleanaholic, I'm not a dirty whore

    "Go Fuck Yourself": Does he have a job? No I have a life. Why don't you get a band? I don't need one. What do you sound like? Something you hate. Who is this guy? They call me Man. Go Fuck yourself. How much does he make? Plenty of song. How many have you sold? all of my shame. Who do you know? I know you're full of shit. What have you done? I'ce thrown it all away. Go Fuck Yourself.


    Great stuff.

    The song "Hippie Down" is a gem.

    "More" is also fantastic.

    'When he moved to Colorado, he discovered that he missed making music. After several fistfights and even more failed attempts at forming a band with the locals, Matt decided that the "ropeheads and puppy-draggers" that surrounded him were not compatible with his musical tastes and endeavors. Like any self-respecting misanthropic visionary, he proceeded to go it alone. So he returned to Detroit.'


    ropeheads and puppy-draggers! fucking hilarious.
