(December 2018) I have completed episode 195 of my “opus project.” This edition: the IAN MacKAYE suite of bands (MINOR THREAT, FUGAZI and THE EVENS, as well as Teen Idles, Skewbald/Grand Union, Egg Hunt, Embrace, and Pailhead). Minor Threat was my intro to hardcore punk through my college roommate; not really my thing but I grew to appreciate it. Same with Fugazi, although as a local D.C. institution I greatly regret not attending a show. The spare The Evens is a pleasant, and more approachable, surprise.
Favorite Minor Threat song: In My Eyes
Favorite Fugazi album: Red Medicine
Favorite Fugazi song: Arpeggiator
Favorite The Evens album: The Odds
Favorite The Evens song: Timothy Wright
Compared to expectations: same
