It's Just Hard To Have A Nuanced

Columbia Heights Was A Poor, Messed Up Area, And The Church Was In The Middle Of It. What Happened Inside Was A Reflection Of The Community. I Actually Saw My First Rock Concert On The Altar Of That Church [st. Stephen's].

Truth Is, Right Now Two Bombs Could Drop Out Of The Sky And Blow Up This House And Whatever Building You're In And Just Obliterate Dischord And Pitchfork. And There'll Be Some People Crying, There'll Be Some Slow Singing, But For 99% Of The World, It Won't Even Affect The Fly On Their Soup. Most Of The World Never Have, Or Ever Will Hear Of Me, Fugazi, Or Pitchfork. Right Now, Someone Just Got Killed In Ukraine. Do You Feel Any Different?

I Obviously Use Computers. My Car Is Wondrous. My Phone Is Amazing. I've Already Talked About The Music I'm Digitizing. Technology Is Fantastic, Of Course.

I Work At A Record Label Where I Have Archives. These Things [memorabilia] Occurred And Are Important To Somebody, And They're Important To Me. I Find The Record Industry Largely Repellent. This Music, The Teen Idles, All Of That Stuff, Is Important To Me. I Don't Have Lawyers, An Agent Or A Manager. However I Find The Music Industry Largely Repellent. I Just Make Records Because That's What I Love To Do. So I Think That Era, Those Pieces Of Media, I Keep In My Collection.

There Are Certainly Good Examples Of Incredibly Brilliant, Beautiful Music That Has Been Made Commercially Available And Sold Everywhere. But I Would Say That, For The Most Part, Quantity Certainly Does Not Speak Well For Quality.
