I'll second the love for the Instrument dvd. I've seen Fugazi live twice, and that dvd just brings it all back for me.

I love watching Guy dance. Oh man.

And that first performance they show on Instrument? I forget which song it is, I know it's something from Repeater though. But anyway, I love how the music slowly builds up and Ian and Guy just start pacing back and forth staring at each other. So menacing, like two tigers circling each other, a step forward, a step backward, sizing each other up. And then of course it all just explodes. Orgasmic.

I love the places they play on the Instrument dvd. The one place looks like a prison or alternative home and the other is a gymnasium. Guy climbs the basketball hoop and hangs upside down while singing.

yeah, that's during "glue man", my fav song of theirs, btw.

shut the door. one of their best songs. such brillain live preformances! a freind of mine told that what they dont show you is after guy hangs on the basketball hoop he falls nto the drumset

I'm listening to 13 Songs for the first time, and I'm definitely getting a "holy shit, I need to get a hold of everything these guys have done as soon as possible" vibe from this. Just pure awesome.

your next stop:

Whoa there; that's a bit of a jump going from the debut to the most recent album.....It's a good album nontheless, but it could be a bit different; I'd recommend Repeater next, then Red Medicine to hear the progression leading to The Argument. Just my two cents.....

I realized I only had two Fugazi albums, so I got Repeater and am looking for Red Medicince, which sounds like it will be incredibly awesome.

For me,
1. Red Medicine
2. In On The Kill Taker
After that, it's a mess for third place.

adventurous list there. not questioning it, just interesting. i am also a big fan of the kill taker.

RETURN THE SCREW

Adventurous and interesting because I could only list two of seven albums on my list?

In On the Kill Taker has been kicking my ass this week. Quickly becoming my favorite.

Man, I really love Fugazi. For a while I wasn't listening to very much rock music, but they really helped to get me back into liking it a lot. Each album is really stellar, and it's like there's never a bad song. I really like on the one song on Red Medicine (Combination Lock maybe) where Guy says "How do you like my sense of humor?" over and over again. They're political, they're clever, and they rock. Now in my top five bands probably, just great.

what do you think of shellac?

Need to listen to them. I listened to Songs About Fucking and thought it was pretty good, is Shellac like Big Black at all?

Had my first taste of Fugazi this morning with The Argument and I'm listening to it again now. I really like it.

Yeah, The Argument is great. You would really like Red Medicine too.

Cool. I'll be sure to look for it next then.

In On the Kill Taker still kicks my ass.
