Remember when you paid $5 to see that life-changing, all-ages show where Guy Picciotto hung upside down from a basketball hoop? Or when Ian MacKaye stretched out the insanity of "23 Beats Off" for just a few minutes more? It's time to relive all those memories, folks...
In news that should make Phish jealous, The New [...]

The A-side, "Warble Factor," has one of those surging 4/4 rhythms (call it "the post-hardcore head-nod") and Ian MacKaye's quick-chop guitar playing is gratifyingly familiar. But Amy Farina's vocals are the show here: She's passionate and serious, befitting what seems to be a meditation on somebody's death. What's that line at the end? "Look at [...]

While fact-checking some things for my upcoming review of the new Office Of Future Plans disc, I asked frontman J.

As space travelers already know, Dan Higgs, mystic guru of the psych-punk legends Lungfish, joined The Skull Defekts to provide heavily bearded vocals for their most recent tour. Fellow Lungfish member Asa Osborne opened many of the shows with his ecstatic Casio-drone solo project, Zomes. But the magic didn't stop there! The two Dischord vets [...]

Edie Sedgwick, Washington City Paper contributor Justin Moyer's drag reincarnation of the eponymous Warhol Superstar, was last heard making adorable—well, adorably weird—children's music on the Sockets Records cassette Songs for Isadora. Back on regular label Dischord, Edie is releasing Love Gets Lovelier Every Day, a three-track single on Aug. 22. The 7-inch vinyl release will include [...]

Big week for news from Camp Dischord. The label has a pair of archival releases from two O.G. D.C. hardcore outfits: a reissue of Faith's 1983 EP Subject to Change that will also include tracks from the group's original 1981 demo; and Void's Sessions 1981-83, a 34-track collection of old demos, live tracks, and outtakes.
Also exciting: Office [...]

According to Dischord's website, early hardcore heroes Marginal Man are bringing their two-guitar attack back to D.C. this summer for the first time since their a reunion show in 1995. The entire original five-piece lineup is playing at The Black Cat on August 20. Between '83 and '88, the band toured nationally and put out [...]

Alex Baca leads off this week's arts section with her reflection on the state of University of Maryland student-run station WMUC—which she says ought to declare independence. Joe Warminsky reviews three strong albums from local labels: New Des Ark and Pygmy Lush LPs from Lovitt, and the latest Joe Lally record from Dischord. Chris Klimek [...]
