    I was recently pretty excited to come across a letter I got from Ian back in 86. He was really kind about writing, and even about phone calls. Such a nice guy. And Dave is beyond nice. I'm so glad success found these guys. It's crazy to think that what we were doing back then was anything anybody was paying attention to except for some disaffected teenagers. There was honesty in our dissent, and a new world was born.

    He’s not a collector. He’s an archivist of the DC scene.

    Ian does not consider himself a "collector". He considers himself an "archivist". Those are Ian's words, not mine.

    I kind of love the idea of Dischord putting out a Foo Fighters single.

      +This name is either restricted, too long, or contains too many invalid characters. Why? Just because they are hugely popular? Whether you like them or not, if you like music you have to admit they write some incredibly catchy tunes. I mean they really do.
