Anyone here like Ian's post minor threat, pre-fugazi band? Their self titled LP is awesome. Its like a more focused version of Minor Threat with better instrumentation. If you like any of MacKaye's music or other more tuneful punk bands like Husker Du then you should love this. Money is a fantastic song

    ha! i'm sorry. i read too fast. maybe that's why i am in my 5th year of college :)

    do you have the 20 years of dischord compilation? it's some pretty righteous stuff -- a lot of which ian had to do with. the nation of ulysses song on there, "spectra sonic sound," is mind-numbing.

    no I don't unfortunately but I'm sure I'll acquire it eventually. I'm on a major dischord trip right now. Getting all the rites of spring, embrace, fugazi, minor threat, evens, one last wish, teen idles, egg hunt etc that I can. awesome stuff.

    Wow, now that is one fine list of Dischord music. Nothing makes my day like coming home to find a hand-addressed package from Beecher Street via the office under the dry cleaners on Clarendon Blvd. Definitely check out the High-Backed chairs too. The compilation is pretty dense, it's a lot of DC music blended together to the point where it's almost uncomfortable.

    Oh, and definitely order the Joe Lally CD coming on Oct. 9.

    "Joe Lally is the bass player in Fugazi and he has recorded an album of solo bass driven compositions in collaboration with friends and musicians such as Eddie Janney (Rites of Spring, One Last Wish), Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72, etc.), Jerry Busher (French Toast), Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), Danny Frankel, Ian Mackaye (The Evens, Fugazi), Amy Farina (The Evens), Scott (Wino) Weinrich and Antonia Tricarico. Joe is now on tour with Antelope and will be going to Brazil in November (!). Check out the dates on our tour page or for more information go to: http://www.joelally.com/ " - Dischord.com

    its really weird that you mentioned that. I saw Joe's solo album in an independent record shop today for £6.75 but I had no money. I guess the shop got a copy early or something cos it isnt meant to be out yet. Wish i'd had the cash.
