Never heard of Daytrotter? May we suggest you check out their session archives immediately if not sooner. Bands from all over the country stop in Rock Island, Illinois, and record four songs of their choosing to tape. Often, the songs are alternate versions, rare tracks or previously unreleased songs.

Minor Threat to your tastebuds
Advertisements describe the sauce as such: "Like the Loch Ness Monster or gravity, the existence of a gentle-finishing habanero pepper sauce has scientists baffled. Made from a rare, mild breed of habaneros grown specifically for us, Minor Threat draws its inspiration from the legendary West Indies' mustard- and mango-based habanero sauces, only it mysteriously priviledges the pepper's fruitiness over its notoriously overwhelming heat. We may never fully understand Minor Threat's ability to take sandwiches, grilled meats, corn chips or eggs to the next level without annihilating your esophagous in the process, but don't let science's shortcomings get in the way of your slathering habits."
We're not sure what the sucker tastes like but according to The Gothamist, Wheelhouse higher-up Jon Orren admited that the condiment is indeed inspired by the hardcore band. The only request MacKaye had of the spread was for the packaging not parody the band's famous "Bottled Violence" image.
