Marc Weidenbaum at Disquiet writes about a new project of interests to all fans of Fugazi, DC hardcore, and cultural mashups:

"This guy named Chris Lawhorn has, with Fugazi's permission, made a full album in which every track combines four or more Fugazi songs into a new song, says Marc.

"Lawhorn focused almost entirely on the instrumental materials," he adds. "I think it's tensile and wonderful, and I interviewed him."

    This is so, so relevant to my interests.  Frickin’ love fugazi!

    It’s an unusual concept, but not entirely unknown to the musical world. Frank Zappa did some of this on his album Sheik Yerbouti. the song Rubber Shirt is two entirely different tracks edited together.

    Are we absolutely certain that isn’t Angus Young, circa 1977?

    No, wait.  This guy’s about a foot too tall.

    I Love Fugazi, but I don’t think I can get so excited about Fugazi fan fiction.

      Yeah.  I kind of agree.  Just listen to Fugazi.
