Summary

Bill and Brian hang out with musician Nick Palmer (normally, we'd link to the band's website here, but Brian and I were discussing how awesome "Generation Gap" by WAX WAV is, so click this link and go watch the kickass video for it: ) and discuss Fugazi's Repeater (1990, Dischord). All the prerequisite talk about punk and what it means to punk happens, but we also discuss Ian MacKaye and Guy Piccioto's politically/emotionally charged lyrics that are still relevant today and the awesome musicianship of the rhythm section, Joe Lally and Brendan Canty. This and more as we make our way through the album track by track!

1:01.0	That would be a strange situation if just, you know, 30 minutes into the podcast, we just went,
1:03.4	oh, the track by track, it's gone.
1:08.2	But they left the credence tape, though, so that's good.
1:10.5	Things would get very metaphysical at that point.
1:11.5	Yeah.
1:12.6	So... And then we'd end up...
1:13.4	Somebody would end up spreading my ashes into the Pacific Ocean.
1:17.1	And we'd have to cut off a toe.

1:21.4	I can get you a toe if you need.
