Brief introductions and opening remarks. Find out why David has just the slightest twinge of a southern accent and why Nick still stans for a pre-Real Housewives era Bravo. We’ll also talk a bit about coming to punk in the late 1990s and early 2000s, how Fugazi’s The Argument (and simultaneously released Furniture EP) makes a natural place to start this podcast, and how a label like Dischord could get its start in a so-called musical backwater like Washington, DC. 

(Ed. note: Yes, we know we mispronounce Guy Picciotto's last name. Ian MacKaye was nice enough to email us about it and we never made the mistake after that.)
