Ian MacKaye for the win:

This is why I think Fugazi is one of the very few genuine bands out there. It wasn't about money, it wasn't about bitchy alliances and arguments or someone having some inane heroin overdose or groupies or any bullshit. It's just straight-up about the music. "Merchandise" has to be one of my most favorite songs of theirs, along with "Bulldog Front". They just mean what they say and it's so hard to find that in the world of music. A band that's real, not a facade. A great fucking album, not a monotonous hit single. That's why I'm so passionate about my favorite bands. I wouldn't waste my time, money and energy on something that didn't come directly from the heart.
Speaking of which, check out some Bob Mould at ifc.com where he recently played live on the Henry Rollins show. Two of my faves in one, does it get better than that?
