why does'nt everyone stop analyzing them and fucking listen to their genius... i have only listened to them for like 15 minutes now and think they are awesome.... somtimes poeple are like a bunch of fucking monkeys battling about the number of bananas they have ( bananas being opinions and intellect ) that is a really stupid comparison i just made and so is judging them so ... just listen and enjoy lol !
@reductobeam Yer right, as any real music fan is aware there are way too many trollers on You Tube trying to pin their genre tag onto stuff to prove they're a the heart of the 'true' scene...such bollocks! I prefer nu-skiffle myself.
@godrodemyscooter Yup. It's the new underground genre being touted by 'the kids', who are 'in the know'. It's a crossbreed between 'math rock' and a 'hand jive', so my sources inform me.
@reductobeam I need a concise term that describes the small niche of bands I like. That way, I have a single term that explains how I dress, think, and act. Rock and Roll is now too broad a term for the tiny little compartment I want to put myself in.
@JordenBarry god you're so right. its a shame i only have the albums and videos like this. too young to have seen em, ya know. hey pimpu64, you should add to the video description that it also has waiting room, you'll get more views
I used to wonder if this song had something to do with the assassination of JFK or any that were murdered in the 1960's. The words conjure up the loner persona of Oswald and that makes the song amazing for when it was released prior to Oliver Stones' film.
That's what the words want you to believe so they can keep you from the truth. Any EDUCATED person can see that MArtin Luther King had Kennedy assassinated so that his illegitimate son, OBAMA could become president. Pull the wool from your eyes!!!
In on the Killtaker is my favorite with The Argument being a close second. (I think because In On The Killtaker was my first Fugazi album). I dig them all but I'd like to listen to Red Medicine again.
I can't find Red Medicine anywhere. I'm going to have to order it online. The first tie I herad Fugazi was when The Chili Peppers did a cover of The Latest Disgrace before Parallel Universe. But The first album I bought was Repeater.
I love the business practices and the whole story about Fugazi, and the members are all awesome. I've never wanted to like band more but I just can't bring myself to like Fugazi's music at all. It just sounds so bland to me, I really wish it didn't but it does. :(
Just some background:When FUGAZI first started playing shows in d.c. back in 87 it was really funny because everyone who ever was into in the d.c hardcore scene back then thought it was this strange avant garde sound. Really. It was sort of revolutionary for all of us use to listening to the same standard for the past 4 years. But it was such a natural transition that being at one of their early shows was just amazing. Everyone was so into it.
But it's cool you don't dig it. To each his own...
I kinda know what you mean. I really want to love Fugazi but I don't love them. I do love a bunch of their songs, but I certainly wouldn't say that they're my favorite band. They are awesome though
I know where you're coming from; their earlier stuff is too reliant on octave-chord blaring and I doubt I would listen to it if it weren't Fugazi. It took me a while to get into them. But songs like Strangelight, Break, Closed Captioned, The Kill... completely different world.
@alastairmctavish He hated what it became. That song really launched the lifestyle into the spotlight and then it ironically turned into a consumer product. MacKaye might still be Straight Edge, but he certainly never refers to himself as that.
the musical commentary on the punk culture that was later picked up as "sxe" was ment for anything and everything, it was comment on how things get out of hand and dominate to the point of it being abuseive and destructive , the three most direct examples where the destructive sex, drugs and alcohol abuse that had become a cultural norm. it was not ment as a cut and clear drawing of lines but in a context of individuals and cultural norms. sadly sxe became a conviction for many, not a philosophy
Yeah it's all taken too literally. I drink and do a couple of other drugs sometimes, but I'm pretty teetotal most of the time, and when I do do any sort of drug I don't abuse it, the vast majority of the time at least.
The philosophy of straight edge is spot on, it's all about self respect, positivity and being productive and not wasting your life.
love it!
