I would not say that Dolores Park is more where tourists hang out than "hipsters"

It's so weird how Antwon is in a ton of shots, but they never mention him or talk to him at all.

[Spooks]

I can't believe this was posted today. But this crowd...

[Spooks]

Fuck yes!

[Spooks]

Stream Every Time I Die's new record Great stuff! Kurt Ballou did a stellar job.

Yeah, I'm ordering this.

[Spooks]

Yep, they are one of the last remaining great bands in this genre! Their discography is flawless. Each record really has it's own sound and this band can do no wrong!!!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I always thought they had a good live show, but I never was a fan of ETID's records.

I agree. Except for Hot Damn!, that record kills.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

They slay live, but I've also been fairly ambivalent about their recorded work.

[ocbruin84]

I haven't seen them live in probably a decade or so, but the few times I did I noticed that for some reason they played all their songs significantly slower than on record.

What? It's totally the opposite. They used to play everything faster than on record and now they've slowed every song down....


New Code Orange!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Everybody listen to Decline & Fall from Failures! This thing is fucking frenetic and crazy as all get-out, it's just great! 14 songs in 14.5 minutes.

I was never much of a Braid fan during their first era, but damn if their new record isn't great. Much better than many of the releases from the new school of emo bands. Makes me have high hopes for the new Jazz June as well as AF and Mineral live.

[vulcandeathgrip]

My two cents - New ETID is my favourite of theirs so far. That Code Orange song is fucking awesome. That P.O.V clip of Ben Koller is both inspiring and depressing. Kurt Ballou is one busy dude.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

The new United Nations is fucking killer. As chaotic and abrasive as you'd expect it to be. Definitely going to be getting a lot of rotation from myself.

Also, here's an interview with Geoff Rickly talking about the band's legal battle with the actual United Nations, and how that's influenced them.

This list is pretty much spot on!

I don't remember much of their prior material but I really liked the stream on Pitchfork of the new album. And this isn't really an apt comparison but it reminded me a bit of Deafheaven.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I recall United Nations was like a hardcore super group but never listened to the first album for some reason. The new one is really fucking great indeed though.

Watch the trailer for 'Salad Days: The Birth of Punk In The Nation’s Capital'. A a documentary that examines Washington, D.C.’s 1980s hardcore punk scene featuring Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins (2.13.61) and Dave Grohl.

YES!

[AeroplaneJunkie]

YES!

oh shit is your name vulcan death grip as in...

[Spooks]

Damn, no wonder Ian doesn't care if Goldenvoice offers him $$$ for Fugazi...

[Spooks]

This show will be in my top 10 of 2014 Thank you Blood Brothers!!!

[vulcandeathgrip]

oh shit is your name vulcan death grip as in...

No, can't say it is unfortunately

[vulcandeathgrip]

Is that Ian MacKaye figure legit? I am quite shocked to see that number and they don't show their work to prove how they came up with their answer. Is it a figure based on what he has in the bank and under his mattress or is it a guess at what he would get from the sale of Dischord?

I don't think I care if Ian has profited hugely from what he has done but I still never really imagined that Dischord would ever be worth that much.

[bmack86]

What are you referring to? I watched the Salad Days trailer and didn't hear a reference to any figures, other than 400,000-500,000 population in DC.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

4 posts up, on top of the Soulside video, Spooks posted a link saying that MacKaye's net worth is $23 million

[bmack86]

Ahh.

See, Spooks, that's why your anthology posts can be problematic: there's no overarching theme, and potentially interesting info gets lost in the shuffle.

I imagine parts of that figure represent land holdings, and one thing to remember is how successful Fugazi really was. They were on the Billboard charts, they sold millions of copies of their albums. The difference is that they weren't shelling most of that money back to a record label, to managers, to tour managers, to agents, to press folks, to handlers. Ian booked the tours, Ian ran the label, the whole band managed the finances. They certainly ran their band in a way that, combined with their success, had to have been quite profitable. Also, Ian is a somewhat sought after speaker, and speaking fees can be ridiculously high.
