I know almost nothing about Fugazi, except that I've heard and very much enjoyed 'The Argument'.

I recently listened to a podcast with Ian and Albini. Of course Ian is such a great guy to listen and albini is...albini.

Was that Kreative Kontrol? I heard that one. I really enjoy listening to Albini speak. My friend from Canada heard that Kreative Kontrol podcast and said "This guy is SO Canadian," apparently because he's really long-winded. Which he claims is a thing, but I can't really verify it yet.
Yeah that one. Im kinda tired of Albini´s ethos. He can talk about whatever he wants but he did a Bush album.

I have gone through several stages of the 'what is my favorite song on The Argument' debate but seem to have settled on 'Strangelight' at this point ... provided the listening environment is headphones set to 'loud' after 4-5 glasses of whiskey...
followed very closely by 'Ex-Spectator'... in any listening environment
one of the greatest concert moments I ever experienced was seeing Fugazi in a circus tent set up on The Mall at the D.C. folklife festival in 2000 ... The Argument had not come out yet ... but they opened with Ex-Spectator ... I didn't know the name but the song stuck in my head well after the show... when the album was released I was like "oh man, this is that" ... there was basically a white squall going on outside weather-wise and when that first loud part kicked in it was like they completely blasted the roof off the place ... maybe only a couple hundred people in attendance ... and being feet from The Capitol it was just an unreal feeling.
I really hope they release this one at some point.

The 'Furniture' EP packs so much punch for just 3 songs
I love the lyrics to 'Hello Morning', the 'we're time capsules in a garbage can' line well-reinforced my severe eco-activist persona at the time
I was fortunate to see them four times
They are so great
yes, 'End Hits' basically ruined me for the earlier albums, quality wise.... although Kill Taker is decent enough
The 'Closed Captioned' on the Instrument Soundtrack might be top 3 of all songs of theirs for me
but then there are so many great ones on 'End Hits'...
and 'Red Medicine'...
and it goes on like that...
'Red Medicine' is really one of those you just have to only listen to the whole thing from the beginning or not at all ... such an amazing thing

Listened to end hits yesterday because of this thread. Much better than I remember. The argument is still much better.

Aw, those two are just a perfect combo by all means. Brendan´s best album?

Yeah, although im really in for more music from them. Their experimental side from the last albums is really interesting, like a cool more focused more aggressive Sonic Youth kinda of vibe.
It could be nice to see where they are these days musically as a band..imagine what Ian could bring to Fugazi after his experience with The Evens?

Brendan´s been shooting those Burn To Shine movies, he directed the Eddie film and has been doing mostly film scores, playing with Bob Mould and recording a record with a band called Deathfix.
