Dos (Dos album)

dos was the debut album recorded by the band dos. It is a double bass guitar side project for Mike Watt (of the Minutemen and Firehose) and his then-girlfriend (later wife), Kira Roessler (from Black Flag). Formed as a vehicle to take the bass beyond its perceived background role and into the forefront of a band,[1] Dos also became a therapeutic experience in the wake of Roessler's departure from Black Flag and the sudden death of Minutemen's D. Boon's on December 22, 1985.[1][2] After exchanging demos for the better part of 1986 (Roessler had moved to Connecticut), the duo reconvened to record their self-titled debut late in the year, subsequently releasing it on Watt's own New Alliance Records.[1]

gollark: Well, yes, probably.
gollark: As far as I can tell, basically every website supports HTTPS nowadays, but DNS over HTTPS is still rare partly because of governments and ISPs being annoying about it.
gollark: I mean generally. Look at DNS. They didn't even have DNS over HTTPS or DNSSEC until fairly recently, and they're still not widely used.
gollark: Yeeees, it's weird how people didn't seem to even consider security and privacy in lots of computer things until seemingly recently.
