Dischord Records - founded by Jeff Nelson and Fugazi's Ian MacKaye - is working in conjunction with other local organisations in the Washington, DC area to open the famous Inner Ear Studios up to young musicians, for free.
The label - home at one point or another to the wonderful likes of Faraquet, Q And Not U, Bluetip, Lungfish, Black Eyes, Hoover and Medications - is working alongside Ruffian Records and Swim-Two-Birds Studios, as well as Inner Ear, to help DC youngsters get material down on tape for no monetary outlay. The project's called the CD Free Recording Project. A what-it-says-on-the-tin affair, then.
To qualify for a five-hour session, bands must be at least fifty per cent over 18 and live in the Washington, DC area. Anyone wishing to be considered should e-mail the organisers via the project's website, linked below.
Look! I'm a LINK.

DisChord Bands
Fugazi are the best live band I've ever seen, and I've seen a few legends in their heydays. I can't imagine anyone who has an appreciation of bands not substantially concurring should they get the chance to see Fugazi themselves. Even Editor types, dragged to such a concert kicking and screaming they wanna go home may experience a damascene conversion. Believe.
its possible that
Colin "No Kill No Beep Beep is the best album ever" Roberts was joking.
also, colin likes me, and i have, liek, a fifth of the dichord catalogue
...
i listened to View From This Tower on the way to work this morning - i'd foolishly not listened to it for ages, must have been some kind of premonition...
all of those bands, on that list up there, are very good.
