The version I own of this Dow Jones and the Industrials seven inch is the 2011 re-issue co-released with Family Vinyard, because I sure as fuck can't afford the original and am stoked I got a copy from this very limited run when I did. The other songs on this are fine, sort of have a new wave Devo vibe, but I own this and everyone else owns this for one reason - "Can't Stand the Midwest." For my money, the greatest punk rock song of all time. At a minimum, at least the greatest American one. So simple, so perfect. You're welcome to disagree with me, but you'd be wrong. And that's ok.
