We Are Fugazi, From Washington DC

Can’t believe no one has posted this news yet today. I hope this gets a released outside of festivals.

Help with Walken’s Syndrome

I do really like this song, but there's one problem. I can't find accurate enough tabs! If someone would please kindly send the chords (and maybe how to play them), I would be very grateful.

Run out groove question

I was putting on In on the Kill Taker tonight and I was looking at the run out groove. Here's the breakdown by side:

Side A: snake eyes, nixons, scouts, walnuts, the mime, boxcars

Side B: the cherry did it! (give him a slash!)

When I originally bought the album I had no idea what any of it meant (just as I have no idea what any of the messages in their run out grooves mean 😅). But then a few months back I was listening to an interview with Steve Albini (I think it was the final time he was on Vish Khanna's podcast) and he was discussing the game of Coriky and he mentioned a bunch of terms for different dice rolls. I know one of them was boxcars, and snake eyes I was already familiar with. I assume that the Side A run out groove terms are from the game of Coriky but the Internet has failed me in confirming my suspicion.

Good people of Reddit, what say you? I wish I could have posted this to Ian James Wright when he was doing the Alphabetical Fugazi podcast!

Fugazi Harmonies - Full Disclosure

I'm always a little surprised when listening the Full Disclosure (Argument) and after the fun babbling that starts the song, it breaks right into some "wooooohhhh" backup harmonies. One of my favorites songs and maybe their best.

Was that the only time Fugazi did a vocal harmony?

Question that Fugazi fans may be able to help with re: cooperatively owned/run clubs

I figured this would be a good place to ask this question as Fugazi played MANY unconventional spaces. Did any of y'all see Fugazi in a cooperatively/community owned and run music venue? What was your experience and is it still open? Thanks

Pointless question about 7 songs.

My pressing is 45 RPM, when I was going through my kid sisters records I noticed that hers was a 33.

I’m aware that the 45’s are higher fidelity, but my question is why? Why would they have ever been pressed at a different RPM to begin with?

(Mods, please remove this post if it’s a pointless)

Songs similar to anything from End Hits

End Hits is probably a top five album of all time for me, I love every single song. I love Fugazi in general, but the songs on End Hits are pretty far out from the rest of their discography. Any recommendations for songs similar to the vibe of End Hits? More Fugazi or different artists I don’t care I just need more of whatever that is

Spiderland

Is the cover of Red Medicine paying homage to Slint’s Spiderland quarry heads cover? Not an exact genre match but I figured it’s possible they were influenced by that. Does anyone know if this is intentional or coincidence?

Fugazi is the greatest band of all time

I love the Instrument DVD, for all the amazing live performances (I can't stand all the annoying footage of the fans. I have to skip past all that obnoxious crap)... so, last night I was searching for some more decent quality live Fugazi shows on YouTube. there are a few of them that are worthwhile. I ended up watching a show from 2002. I don't know if its because I was high from edibles at the time, but I was in complete awe of the pure genius, and brilliance of their performance art (and this is from some crappy hand-held video camera footage from someone in the crowd)... after finishing watching that, I concluded that there is (was) no band greater than Fugazi. their music, riffs, songwriting, guitar tones, lyrics, noisy avant-garde jam breakdowns & freak-outs were nothing short of absolute perfection, as far as my mind perceives the music that inspires & excites me. does anyone else feel the same?.. and... can someone recommend other live shows of theirs online that I can check out?

We need an instrument to take a measurement

A recent poll in this sub regarding the Spotify wrap things made me have a couple thoughts.

First off, I want to make clear that I don't begrudge others trying to make their enthusiasm known, through whatever medium. I'm not of the ilk that's going to blame end-users for partaking in what others may find unethical practices. I'll always feel that the relatively low-friction distribution of music in this modern age is a net good.

The most interesting aspect of this to me is a person's reasons for broadcasting such things. It is a quantification of... what exactly? How many seconds you spent listening to Fugazi? A meter of how much you enjoyed it? When provided without context, what is it exactly? An overture for validation?

What loss could weigh? What joy could weigh? Is the scale or metric even worth considering?

My ask for anyone is that, if you feel the need to wear such things, it'd be a great service to provide your reasoning.

How has listening to these sounds affected you? Why have you listened to these songs for so many seconds? What does it mean to you? I can guarantee virtually everybody will be more interested in these things, Lazily posting some generated statistic is not engagement and says nothing of value.

Anyways, as you can tell I feel this directly relates to the song "Instrument" and what its lyrics convey. The feeling you have is real, the jubilation, the enthusiasm, the want to share these things. But also, the chances are we're going to believe you regardless, you don't have to wear a t-shirt or show us your playlist
