Obama!

Tonight's show was a spur of the moment look at the DC punk scene in the 80's to early 90's. It's impossible to cover it all in an hour, so I just looked at the top few bands and played some of their tunes and talked about how each band came about and evolved and, in most cases, split up. Fugazi has not yet declared a break up, but all members are doing their own things and they haven't put out a Fugazi album in years. Ian is off doing The Evens with Amy Farina, which is a great live band. I caught them in Montreal a bit ago and they played Mount Pleasant so well that the crowd demanded that they play it again. It was hilarious. I've never seen that before in a live show. Joe Lally released a solo album on Dischord that is very bass and poetry heavy. Brendan is up in Portland recording bands (most notably Ted Leo's latest and The Thermals). Not sure where Guy is, but I'm sure he's doing something awesome. I imagine they'll all get back together at some point to record. At least I hope so. Here's the list.
