Rolling Stone: Have you tried learning guitar or piano?

Matt Berninger: I have not tried very hard, no. And I’m a little ashamed of that. But I like what I do in the band. In some ways, this is my rationalization, but if I was a piano player or a guitar player I would probably waste too much time writing mediocre music instead of just letting those guys, who are much better and much more advanced musicians. It would take me forever to catch up with them. I think me learning guitar might just ruin our band.

Playlist: Dischord Desert Island
This collection of tunes pulls from Dischord records I listened to obsessively when fresh & new and continue to revisit regularly.
In my personal collection of the label’s output, Fugazi & Lungfish weigh in heavily with 16 or 17 LPs between them, and these two bands dominate the playlist. In fact, it was more of their tunes than any others that I kept having to pull out in order to trim the length of this thing down.
Missing from this playlist are bands like Minor Threat & Dag Nasty, which I keep in the LP bin, but not because of how much I did/will listen. More for their artwork, maybe a song or two buried in my mind from a friend’s mixtape or hardcore-band cover song. Those bands & records aren’t represented here.
Looking now at the entire Dischord catalog, I’m struck that my fandom spans a very specific timeframe almost exactly from 1990 to 2000. Rites of Spring snuck in retro-actively and became a favorite, but almost nothing else pre-Fugazi did. And once The Argument came out, I essentially stopped listening to new Dischord releases. There were a few more Lungfish albums, and I’ve got those and I’ve spun them each a few times, but no songs from those albums made this playlist.
There are 10+ years of Dischord prior to my actual listening interest begins, and there have been 10+ years of releases since I stopped paying attention. I’m a fan of the middle-third of the catalog, and these are some of the best tunes from that period.
NOTE: It’s a shame that Jawbox didn’t release For Your Own Special Sweetheart on Dischord. The absence of the song Savory here leaves a gaping hole in the story of these bands, this region, this sound. Also a bummer: That Shudder to Think didn’t release Pony Express Record on its natural label home — it blows to not include X-French Tee Shirt.

News today of Lookout! Records closing shop prompted me to do a playlist of tunes from The Big 3 for me in the East Bay in the early & mid 90s. Ironically, these Green Day records remain on Spotify while the entire Lookout! catalog is now missing.

Playlist: The Big 3 - Eaze Bay Bob Bung
