The all things 'Fugazi' thread.

Finding some new appreciation for In On the Killtaker. I’ve said repeatedly that their production pre-Red Medicine has been a limiting factor, but this one is starting to reveal some new charms.

das is good

[96583UP]

I want out x infinity

I thought so. I recently read a lyric version that translated it as "I don't want one"

Guy's lyrics are particularly hard to decipher, he often takes an "in the ballpark" approach to annunciation. I've often had to look lyrics up then listen to see if it made sense.

Rank the top ten Guy lines.

The Trag ranking philosophy: it's just a matter of knowing when to say no or yes

Some of my faves:

Foreman's Dog:

O Some grinning 'caster
Staring at a sinkhole
Piling up disasters
Marking the footage 'raw'

Now parade the muscles
Trying to make their dicks grow
Warring with their bodies
Dimensions oversold

Do You Like Me:

White witness moves to petition
The state of Virginia for 27 prisons
While in Bethesda an office flaming
Youth group singing
Firemen calling in

Lockheed Lockheed Martin Marietta
Lockheed Lockheed Martin Marietta
Lockheed Lockheed Martin Marietta
Lockheed Lockheed Martin Marietta

Do you like me?
Do you like me?
Do you like me?
Do you like me I guess

All of Strangelight:

The sun's a strange light
Nothing grows right anymore
Scars on every stalk
Whose mouth should I use to talk?

The force that marks the routine
Temperature, whatever degrees
Create the bad thing
And lay our heads in it

Now it's hard to punch the clock
On a site where production's stopped
I'm just a warehouse filled with junk
Some somethings for some someones

Tasking time with tracking eye
Tectonic shifts one nerve at a time
I lay my head in it
A hundred plans to foritfy

Beige concrete goes on for miles
Hiding cities under it
Fill my mouth with non-mouth spit
There was a light at the window

A light under the door
But, it's not there anymore

And this part from Hello Morning:

Hello morning and the morning sun
Lights up the damage that the damage's done
Send a message you can understand
We're time capsules in a garbage can

i always thought the glue man vid looked like the streets of williamsburg too

jem cohen mentioned he was living in a loft and shot it out his window

i remember in like '05 it was still 2/3 raw

Proud dad moment -- my 5 year old son correctly identified a boom bap beat in the car a few days ago.

The song this post was about is "Turkish Disco".
