Fugazi was a big disappointment after Script For A Jester's Tear.

Randomly grabbed Red Medicine yesterday. Very solid album, despite years of ambivalence to it. And I'm really going to have to get repeater eventually.

Those live discs are of such hit or miss audio (and physical) quality that I rarely listen to any of them, but I did buy them all anyway. At the time I sort of felt, after all these years, that I owed the band something in return, and I could forgive the no frills aspect of the whole deal. As cash grabs go, it was as innocent as they come.

one of my coworkers was recently in sf and made a point of telling me that he saw a building with the name fugazi on it.

Can't stop thinking about what it would sound like if Calle 13 covered "Merchandise". It would be such an awesome English language debut -- suitable ideologically, linguistically, sonically. What's not to like? Does Fugazi hate covers? Do they even allow that?

bands don't really have that much control over who releases covers of their music afaik
Fugazi themselves never played covers but i don't even know if there's been any prominent cover of one of their songs for them to have an opinion on
― some dude, Friday, 13 May 2011 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link
If they're trying to crossover to an English-speaking audience but keep their political/social consciousness cred, it's a hell of a song imo. Also fun to shout WE OWE YOU NOTHING.

so that wasn't a response to me at all, was it, just a reiteration of your first post?

Oh, god we had a house guest renting here, he used our food, didn't pay rent, and listened to "melodic" "soulful" music like Fugazi all of the time.
Politics and being from DC does not make for intelligent music. I can't stand Fugazi, sorry.
He can come back and visit when he learns what good music is.

Huh? Melodic? Soulful? You sure he wasn't listening to jack Johnson?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 14 July 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
i somehow read that as "we had a horse guest renting here ..."
― thomp, Saturday, 14 July 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
i mean okay he ate your food and wanted to listen to fugazi but hey on the other hand he was a sentient horse, shut the fuck up and know you are blessed

Never a bad time to listen to Fugazi, imo. Got a few of the remasters last year, Repeater esp. sounds fantastic.

this is my favorite use of "sorry" - "I dug up a thread to talk about something nobody else had brought up for several months & which you certainly weren't thinking about right now - well guess what, I don't like this band, sorry"

It's weird when one of these thread bumps throws up a band that I haven't even thought about in years. Don't think I could go quite as far as 'classic' for them but they have def released their share of good records. Tempted to put on The Argument this evening now - that was always my favorite from them so I guess I gravitate towards their more polished/songful stuff.

I hate Fugazi because of inconsiderate houseguests. I mean, I'd like 'em okay if it weren't for that, but they always come hand-in-hand with inconsiderate houseguests, except for ian mackaye of course, who is the consummate houseguest and always washes his dishes.

figuring out the most fugazi way for fugazi to reunite is a fun pasttime. I vote playing a new album in full at Fort Reno for free. ZERO NOSTALGIA, ZERO PROFIT.

could actually see them doing what shellac does and playing shows in places they all feel like visiting. like towns you've never heard of in Italy.

So even after eating all your food and stiffing you on rent, you'd still welcome him back if he doesn't like fugazi anymore?

a friend of a friend was filming stuff around an empty dock area in asbury park, heard some music coming from a warehouse, opened a door, saw the E Street Band rocking out, and a burly dude ran to the door screaming "YOU CAN'T BE HERE" and closed it in his face. just once i want to hear a similar story about someone hearing sinuous post-punk grooves in the wind in a residential area outside DC.
― da croupier, Sunday, 15 July 2012 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
Fugazi is/was one of the few bands that took the hardcore form and actually took it somewhere
lol, right
anyway i never really cared for them and am just waiting for the day someone can mention being from DC and someone isn't "oh, right, fugazi mannnnnn" like they've really been that relevant here in the past X decades
― fauxmarc, Sunday, 15 July 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
Blows my mind that anyone would shrug at a band this good, but I guess different strokes, new generation, kids today, etc.
What band has been relevant in - or from - DC since Fugazi broke up?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 15 July 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
No one. They all come from Baltimore.
